New Zealand veteran Aaron Gate maintained his narrow but sufficient overall lead in the Boucles de la Mayenne in a tense final day of racing, capturing the latest in XDS Astana's seemingly non-stop succession of 2025 triumphs.

2023 Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race winner Marius Mayrhofer (Tudor Pro Cycling) captured the final day's honours on a lumpy stage from Javron-les-Chapelles to Laval.
