On the final stage of the Tour de Luxembourg, Mathieu van der Poel attacked from the opening kilometers and rode solo for approximately four hours over nearly 3,000m of rolling hills to win by a massive margin. The 174km escape is the longest solo victory of the 21st century, surpassing Tadej Pogačar's previous record of 81km at Strade Bianche 2024.
“This wasn't the plan before the start. I just found myself alone right at the beginning of the race, and I simply rode at my own tempo all day.”
