It was another breathless day of racing at the Tour de France that threw all the peloton's biggest players into the mix. Watch the highlihgts

After a long solo breakaway on Thursday, Irish rider Ben Healy won a hilly sixth stage of the Tour de France and Mathieu van der Poel took the yellow jersey from defending champion Tadej Pogačar by one second.

Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) stormed to victory and the overall lead on stage 2 of the Tour de France in a dramatic small group sprint against GC favourites Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike).

If riders were hoping for a relaxing stage 2 to recuperate then they may be disappointed: today’s stage is the longest of the entire Tour, 209km from the small village of Lauwin-Planque to Boulogne-sur-Mer on the northern coast of France.
