Congratulations Kévin for this exceptional 7th place!
Three weeks. Twenty-one stages of effort, focus, combat, and flair. And at the end, the 7th place in the general classification of the Tour de France 2025 for Kévin Vauquelin. We at Ekoï are immensely proud to support such a talented and humane rider.
Throughout these three weeks, Kévin embodied audacity and consistency: wearing the white jersey as the best young rider, he even held the 3rd place in the general classification for a while, asserting his presence at the highest level, against the greatest.
At Ekoï, we always believed in him. In his racing instinct, his calm determination, his potential as a future giant of French cycling. This Tour de France has confirmed it to the entire world.
And how can we not mention the popular enthusiasm that carried Kévin and the peloton at every stage? Huge crowds, roads filled with encouragement, admiring faces. This connection with the public added even more depth to his journey. Kévin rose to the occasion, with heart and humility.
At the finish, the words of the rider from the Arkéa B&B Hôtels team convey the intensity and the significance of his adventure:
"My 7th place in the general classification, I'm beginning to realize it. It's incredible. It's about self-sacrifice. You always have to be present. The team never gave up. These were three full weeks, and everything before was intense too. I've more than grown, I've reached a new level."
These words sum it all up. The commitment. The emotion. The surpassing of oneself. The clarity too, of a rider who has grown on this Tour, in the truest sense. And whose smile, after the effort, tells the essential: he enjoyed it, he "played", as he says so well. And we, we were thrilled with him.
An exemplary team behind him
In this individual performance, we must not forget the role of his team, Arkéa B&B Hôtels, which achieved a remarkable 4th place in the team classification, best French team in this Tour. A united, solid team that knew how to protect, support, and believe in their leader from start to finish. A collective worthy of an achievement.
At Ekoï, we are proud, above all, to see a rider like Kévin Vauquelin writing the future of French cycling, with this rare blend of raw talent, maturity, and sincerity.
