Thymen Arensman won a shortened Stage 19 of the Tour de France 2025, just holding off a charge from the GC top three.

Arensman led up the final climb, but looked at risk of being overtaken in the final couple of hundred metres as the trio closed in on him.

Vingegaard attacked Pogacar and Lipowitz, but Arensman just did enough to cross the line before the Dane.

Pogacar was third and Lipowitz fourth.

Lipowitz put 41s into Oscar Onley after the Scot dropped off the Pogacar-Vingegaard train in the last kilometre or two. The German Red Bull rider is now 1min03s ahead of Onley on GC.
