Who is leading the Tour de France? Yellow jersey and general classification standings

Defending champion Tadej Pogacar has stamped his authority on the 2025 Tour de France, wrestling back the yellow jersey from previous leader Ben Healy and demolishing all his rivals on stage 12 of the race.

Stage 12 saw the first real mountain test of the Tour and Pogacar – despite suffering a late crash in the closing kilometres of stage 11 – passed with flying colours, powering away from his rivals on the lower slopes of the infamous hors-categorie Hautacam.

He put even more time into closest challenger Jonas Vingegaard, who was further weakened by his key mountain lieutenants Matteo Jorgenson, Sepp Kuss, and Simon Yates all enduring bad days at the office in the opening Pyrenean stage.

Pogacar won his third stage of this Tour – having already won stages four and seven – at the summit finish and moved back into yellow after spending spells in the race lead during the opening week.

Ireland’s Healy, who moved into the race lead with an audacious breakaway raid on stage 10, was dropped early on stage 12 and fell down to xxth.

Here is how the riders stand in each classification after stage 12 of the Tour de France.
