Ben Healy has won the Super Combativity award for his performances during the 2025 Tour de France.

Ahead of Sunday's final stage, the Irish rider emerged victorious in the shortlist of eight riders decided by a combination of a public vote and the race jury.

Jonas Abrahamsen of the Uno-X Mobility came out on top in the public vote via social media but the expert jury ultimately swung it in Healy's favour.

The award comes with a a €20,000 prize and a place on the podium in Paris.

Healy is the second Irishman to earn the award after Dan Martin in 2018.

It has been a memorable three weeks for English-born 24-year-old, Healy, who became just the fourth Irish cyclist to wear the famous Yellow Jersey, following a storming third-place Bastille Day performance, which came in the wake of his victory on stage six - his maiden stage triumph at the Tour de France.

He had a second place finish on the legendary Mont Ventoux last Tuesday.

This year's Tour is the second of the EF Education-EasyPost rider's career and he is on course for a top ten finish, sitting ninth in the general classification ahead of the race climax.
