Van der Poel’s roar in Boulogne: a statement, a sprint, a yellow dream.
It was not just a victory. It was a reminder. A punch thrown into the northern wind of Boulogne-sur-Mer, straight into the pages of Tour de France history. On the second stage of the 2025 edition, Mathieu van der Poel, back in the race he loves and that so often resists him, crossed the line with arms aloft, jaw clenched, and fire in his eyes. Pogacar was there. Vingegaard, too. But this day belonged to the Dutchman.
The final meters of the stage offered a masterpiece: a raw, electric sprint on an uphill drag where grit mattered more than watts. The van der Poel Tour de France narrative has been rewritten — not as a sideshow, but as a central plot. After all the classics and all the heartbreak, the maillot jaune is his again, two years after his first taste of yellow in Landerneau.
“I knew it would be chaotic, but I love this kind of chaos,” said Mathieu van der Poel, glowing in the leader’s jersey. “When I saw Tadej and Jonas starting their sprint early, I waited just a heartbeat — and it worked.”
It did. The Mathieu van der Poel poster from this stage will become an instant classic: one arm raised in a primal celebration, Pogacar grimacing at his right, Vingegaard out of the saddle behind. The moment is now immortalized in this cycling print, more than a photo — a defiant, glorious exclamation point on a grey summer afternoon on the Opal Coast.
A stage, a symbol
This wasn’t just about seconds or jerseys. It was about message. Van der Poel, with rainbow stripes on his sleeves and venom in his sprint, reminded the world he’s more than a puncheur, more than a monument hunter. He’s a man capable of shaping the Tour itself.
The peloton respects him, fears him, and perhaps now, must reckon with the idea that van der Poel Tour de Francemight no longer be a one-day cameo — but a three-week campaign.
For fans of cycling’s poetry and brutality alike, this Tour de France poster of his triumph in Boulogne is essential cycling wall art. Frame the fury. Frame the glory. Own the moment.
Bring home the magic of the 2025 Tour. The official Mathieu van der Poel poster, captured at the finish line of Stage 2, is now available — a timeless tribute to a champion who tamed Pogacar and Vingegaard in the same breath.
