The 2025 Tour de France is the upcoming 112th edition of the Tour de France. It will start in Lille on 5 July, and will finish with the final stage at Champs-Élysées, Paris, on 27 July.

Route and stages

On 30 November 2023, it was announced that the Grand Départ would take place in Lille.^[1] The full route was announced on 29 October 2024 by Christian Prudhomme.^[2] The route was 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.^[3]^[4] The race will feature five summit finishes, including at Col de la Loze and Mont Ventoux.^[5] The race would 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.^[3] The race will be the first to take place wholly in France since the 2020 edition.^[4]

Reacting to the route, Rouleur stated that "the climbing in the second half of the race is relentless"^[6] and Velo predicted "plenty of drama" from a route "heavy on uphill finals and explosive breakaway stages".^[7] Defending champion Tadej Pogačar called the route "brutal", expressing his interest in the uphill time trial to Peyraguedes.^[8]
