2025 Tour de France Plans Three Pyrenean Summit Finishes

The 2025 Tour de France is showcasing some of the most demanding mountain stages in recent history, with a trio of Pyrenean stages including summit finishes at Hautacam, Peyragudes, and Superbagnères that may prove decisive in the race. Earlier in the Tour, Simon Yates claimed his third stage win on Bastille Day in the Massif Central, while Ben Healy took the yellow jersey, marking Ireland’s first Tour leader since 1987, after a breakaway of 29 riders reshaped the general classification. Outside of the Tour, cycling events continue to thrive with the Sevier Valley Rooster Ride in Utah offering scenic routes for cyclists of varying abilities, and the Tour de Wyoming providing a community-oriented experience with support services and local culture. These events highlight both the competitive and recreational appeal of cycling across diverse landscapes, from the rugged French mountains to the open roads of the American West. The combination of high-profile races and grassroots rides underscores the sport's growing popularity and the unique challenges and joys it offers participants worldwide.
