Tour de France 2025 to End on Montmartre Hill

The 2025 Tour de France will take place from July 5 to July 27, starting in Lille and concluding in Paris with a dramatic finish up Montmartre Hill, departing from the traditional Champs-Elysees ending. Tadej Pogacar, riding for UAE Team Emirates, is the defending champion and clear favorite to win a fourth yellow jersey after a dominant spring season. Jonas Vingegaard, his main rival, aims to challenge Pogacar in key mountain stages, while Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič are also top contenders, especially in time trials. The sprint competition features strong favorites Jasper Philipsen, Jonathan Milan, and Tim Merlier, though only a few stages are likely to suit pure sprinters. The race covers 21 stages and is expected to deliver daily drama and fierce competition. Cycling fans anticipate intense rivalries and new storylines throughout the event.
