Teams

[edit]
Main article: List of teams and cyclists in the 2025 Tour de France

Twenty-three teams will take part in the race. All 18 UCI WorldTeams were automatically invited. They will be joined by five UCI ProTeams: the two highest ranked UCI ProTeams in 2024 (Lotto and Israel–Premier Tech), along with three teams (Team TotalEnergies, Tudor Pro Cycling Team and Uno-X Mobility) selected by Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the organisers of the Tour.[2]

Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) rules allow twenty two teams to enter a Grand Tour – eighteen UCI WorldTeams, the two highest ranked UCI ProTeams from the previous season and two teams invited by the organisers. Grand Tour race organisers ASO and RCS Sport asked the UCI to allow an additional wildcard team to be invited to Grand Tour events, after lobbying from smaller teams competing for the wildcard slots.[3] Larger teams were reported to not support the request, with Visma–Lease a Bike noting that an additional team would decrease safety.[4][5] In March 2025, the UCI announced that twenty three teams would be permitted in 2025, allowing an additional ProTeam to be invited.[6] ASO subsequently announced the teams on 31 March 2025.[2]

Route and stages

[edit]
On stage 16, the Tour will have a summit finish at Mont Ventoux (elevation of 1,910 m (6,270 ft)) for the first time since 2013

On 30 November 2023, it was announced that the Grand Départ will take place in Lille.[7] The full route was announced on 29 October 2024 by Christian Prudhomme.[8] The route is considered to be in two halves, with flat and hilly stages for the first 10 stages, followed by mountainous stages in the Pyrenees and Alps before a return to the traditional finish on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.[9][10] The race will feature five summit finishes, including at Col de la Loze and Mont Ventoux.[11] The race will feature just 44 km (27 mi) of individual time trial, with a 11 km (6.8 mi) mountain time trial to the Peyragudes altiport on stage 13.[9] The race will be the first to take place wholly in France since the 2020 edition.[10]

Reacting to the route, Rouleur stated that "the climbing in the second half of the race is relentless"[12] and Vélo Magazine predicted "plenty of drama" from a route "heavy on uphill finals and explosive breakaway stages".[13] Defending champion Tadej Pogačar called the route "brutal", expressing his interest in the uphill time trial to Peyragudes.[14]

In May 2025, it was announced that the final stage in Paris would include laps of a circuit inspired by the road races at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, with climbs of Montmartre before the traditional finish on the Champs-Élysées.[15] Some riders criticised the change, with Remco Evenepoel stating that he didn't like the idea, Wout van Aert called the stage "dangerous" and Jasper Philipsen said it was "a shame to see this stage change".[15][16][17]

Pre-race favorites

[edit]
Tadej Pogačar (left) and Jonas Vingegaard (right) were considered favourites for the general classification (GC)

Prior to the race, Tadej Pogačar, Jonas Vingegaard, and Remco Evenepoel were widely considered to be the major contenders for the overall general classification (GC),[19][20][21] with defending champion Pogačar considered favourite following his win at the Critérium du Dauphiné.[21][22] Top competitors for the points classification were considered to be former winner Jasper Philipsen, Tim Merlier, Jonathan Milan, and defending winner Biniam Girmay. Riders considered outside contenders for the green jersey included Mathieu van der Poel, former winner Wout van Aert, and Pogačar.[23] Evenepoel was widely considered to be the favorite for the white jersey, with some expecting a strong challenge from Florian Lipowitz and Mattias Skjelmose.[24]

Week one

[edit]

The first week of the Tour was in the north of France, with the first stage of the Tour around Lille featuring a flat course that offered an opportunity for the sprinters to take the first yellow jersey. With 17 kilometres (11 mi) to go, Visma–Lease a Bike split the peloton in the crosswinds. In the reduced bunch sprint, Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) won the stage ahead of last year's green jersey winner, Biniam Girmay (Intermarché–Wanty). GC contenders who made the front split such as Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates XRG) and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma–Lease a Bike) gained 39 seconds on some GC contenders, including Remco Evenepoel (Soudal–Quick-Step).[25][26]

The second stage to Boulogne-sur-Mer featured a hilly parcours that favored the puncheurs, with three climbs occurring in the last 30 kilometres (19 mi). In the finale of the stage, riders such as Vingegaard, Matteo Jorgenson (Visma–Lease a Bike), Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa–B&B Hotels), and Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe) attempted some attacks but the stage was decided by a small bunch sprint, where Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin–Deceuninck) held off Pogačar to win the stage and take the yellow jersey in the process.[27][28]

The third stage to Dunkirk was another flat route with only one late fourth-category climb. Because of this, no riders attempted to form a breakaway. In the intermediate sprint, Philipsen went down heavily, forcing him to abandon the race. There were two more crashes in the final 5 kilometres (3.1 mi), causing some riders to suffer abrasions. In the sprint, Tim Merlier (Soudal–Quick-Step) narrowly beat Jonathan Milan (Lidl–Trek) in a photo-finish.[29][30] No rider was awarded the combativity award, with media noting that "nothing noteworthy occurred during 99% of the [stage]".[31][32]

Much like stage 2, the fourth stage to Rouen was another hilly parcours. It featured the Rampe Saint-Hilaire in the city of Rouen, an 800-metre (2,600 ft) long climb with an average gradient of 10.6%, which topped with 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to go. On that climb, Pogačar launched a big attack, with Vingegaard the only rider able to follow despite being briefly dropped. They were caught by a small chase group led by Evenepoel on the descent. Evenepoel and Jorgenson attempted some counter-attacks but they were not able to get a significant gap. In the sprint, Pogačar managed to come around van der Poel to win the stage, taking his 100th career victory in the process. Van der Poel kept the yellow jersey.[33][34]

The fifth stage featured the first individual time trial of the race in Caen, contested over a 33-kilometre (21 mi) flat parcours. Evenepoel, the current World and Olympic time trial champion, won the stage by 16 seconds over Pogačar. Vingegaard lost significant time to his main GC rivals, more than a minute behind Evenepoel and Pogačar. In the GC, Pogačar took over the yellow jersey, 42 seconds ahead of Evenepoel. Vingegaard sat in fourth at 1' 13" down.[35][36]

The following stage was contested on a hilly parcours in "Norman Switzerland" with six small categorized climbs. The finish in Vire Normandie featured a 700-metre (2,300 ft) climb with an average gradient of over 10%. A long fight to enter the break ensued until an eight-man group formed, including van der Poel. With around 42 kilometres (26 mi) remaining in the stage, Ben Healy (EF Education–EasyPost) made the stage-winning move, gradually extending his lead all the way to the finish to win his first Tour stage. The GC group was led by Pogačar across the line at almost five and a half minutes down. Van der Poel took back the yellow jersey by one second after gaining 1' 29" on the GC favorites.[37][38]

Peloton climbing the Mûr-de-Bretagne on stage 7

Stage seven in Brittany featured a double ascent of the Mûr-de-Bretagne in the final 20 kilometres (12 mi). With 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) remaining, there was a high-speed crash that involved several riders, most notably Pogačar's teammate João Almeida who suffered a broken rib but continued in the race. Almeida ended up losing 10 minutes on the day to drop out of GC contention.[39] In the uphill sprint to the finish, Pogačar held off Vingegaard to take his second stage win of the race. Pogačar retook the yellow jersey after van der Poel was dropped on the climb.[40]

The next two stages took place on flat parcours that offered two more chances for the sprinters to go for the win. On stage 8, Milan won the intermediate sprint and beat Wout van Aert (Visma–Lease a Bike) and Kaden Groves (Alpecin–Deceuninck) in a sprint at the finish, thereby regaining the lead in the points classification.[41] On stage 9, Merlier outsprinted Milan and Arnaud De Lie to take his second stage of the race after the peloton chased down an all-day breakaway by van der Poel and his Alpecin–Deceuninck teammate, Jonas Rickaert, that was only caught inside the final kilometre.[42] During stage 9, Almeida abandoned the race due to his injuries from his crash on stage 7.[43] Stage 9 was the second-fastest in Tour history at 50.013 km/h (31.077 mph), owing to the tailwind and the chase for the Alpecin–Deceuninck breakaway.[44]

The last stage before the first rest day featured the first mountain stage of the race in the Massif Central with eight categorized climbs and a finish on Puy de Sancy (3.3 km at 8%). A group of 29 riders broke free on the first climb of the day with UAE Team Emirates XRG content to let them fight for the stage win. On the final climb, Simon Yates (Visma–Lease a Bike) attacked twice, dropping the four survivors in the breakaway to win the stage. Healy finished third on the stage, taking the yellow jersey. In the peloton, Visma–Lease a Bike attacked multiple times in the last 30 kilometres (19 mi) with Jorgenson but Pogačar quickly responded each time. Pogačar himself attacked on the final climb with Vingegaard the only rider able to respond. Both riders finished with a small gap on the other main GC contenders.[45]
