CHATEAUROUX - Tim Merlier won Stage 9 of the Tour de France at Chateauroux on July 13, after Mathieu van der Poel's heroic long-range escape was caught in the final kilometre.
There was no change atop the overall standings, with Tadej Pogacar now holding a 54-second advantage over Remco Evenepoel in second with French starlet Kevin Vauquelin third.
This was a second win for Soudal Quick-Step's Belgian sprinter Merlier, who was first across the line on Stage 3 at Dunkirk, as he racked up a 12th stage win in 2025.
Said Merlier, 32: "Me and Bert (van Lerberghe) were together. I was so much more confident with him in front of me...
"I thought I was boxed in at one point but I came out. I'm very happy to have won my second stage at the Tour this year."
