Tour de France 2025 route rumours and announcements

This is the sort of gimmick to distract you from how boring the mountain stage designs are year in year out.

I’m just hoping Montmartre is going to be decisive for the stage and not just climbed before an X number of laps of the usual final stage circuit. Saw the rumors from Jacky Durand that it may be climbed thrice and that the final Montmartre will be at 4 km from the finish. Guess we’ll have to wait one more week before knowing if that is true.

If so, the bigger news is Prudhomme FINALLY told Gouvenou to make a better stage

The Tour de france graphic designer (or AI) seems to think Pogi will do just fine.

Edit: I can't see any angry Remco on the picture, so no puncture I guess.

That picture looks unbelievably bad

This would be cool, I think:

Rue Lepic + Champs Elyssee circuit

14.1 km, +176 m. Bike ride in Paris, Île-De-France

would be better if they didn't do a silly loop at the end and finished in the same direction they did in 1989

That cornering technique would cause him to crash in every corner.

So do you wait or attack on a stage like that, if leader jersey punctures.

I made the route, and I like Champs Elyssee and want as much of it, as I can get right before the finish, and also the false flat uphill finish is good.
