what makes the 2025 Tur to France so brutal yet so beautiful forget the cliches this is the hardest race on the calendar it’s a gladiator fight set against the beautiful backdrop of France rolling hillsides hilltop villages the mountains down in the south it’s going to be a hard fight over 3 weeks 3,500 km 21 stages throwing up everything at the riders the first week well it’s crosswinds is northern France racing to get from Liil where the Grand Depart is on day one all the way out to the far northwest of France up there along the coast where expect crosswinds out there especially on the stage to Dunkirk riders are going to be fighting for the stage win yet not to lose time in the GC not to be involved in crashes all the way through stage 10 remember this year we’re racing through Monday the first Monday is not a rest day it’s Tuesday because Monday offers up the malt door summit finish in the mass of central but before we get there as I mentioned crosswinds I think the first eight or so days could produce anything and everything up there in the north we got the Dunkerk stage we got the stage to Shateroo then after the rest day Tuesday we have the stages in the Pyrenees we got the Vonu stages and we got the Alps before we get to finish up in Paris and the race along the Shaniz with the Arctic Triumph in the background now we have the Hodokcom we have the Paragu stage the TT stage that’ll be only 11 km but all uphill the first TT of the two TTs is 33 km coming around on stage five but that uphill TT will show us a lot but what we’re building as the queen stage the stage up to Super Beet the third of those big Pyreneian days well that includes the Tormale the Aspen before we get up there to Super Beet the riders with the 5,000 meters of climbing are going to be cracked when we get up there to the finish line we’re going to see big differences in the GC a rest a reset before we get to the Alps but oh wait did I forget to mention the Monvon 2 the climb that’s neither the Pyrenees nor the Alps it’s its own special category out there in the distance no other mountains around exposed to wind so tough so hard the riders rarely face it during the season rarely train on it and often it sees big gaps in the GC they fear it perhaps because back in the day Tom Simpson died up there perhaps because yes we always see gaps in the GC we see riders cracking we see riders cementing their place for top three in the tour of France and that’s what we’re going to get again this year again brutal but beautiful because you look around you have the awesome moonscape out there for the tour to France exactly what you want when you have a 3-week race the biggest race in cycling but it’s not over yet because when we get to the Alps we got the big stage around 5,000 6,000 m of climbing up to the Koda Laos the day where Superman Miguel Anal Lopez won back in I think 2020 well this is going to be the decider the Alps present their own set of challenges stage 18 includes climbs up to the Glandon the Kodella Madelin and then of course the Coldella lows over 6,000 m of elevation gain it’s a stage that demands peak performance and offers little room for air amidst the grueling climbs and punishing terrains lies the unparalleled beauty of the Tur of France the race weaves through the charming villages lush vineyards and breathtaking landscapes offering riders and fans alike visual feast that contrast sharply with the physical challenges of the race the 2025 Tour to France isn’t just a race it’s a testament to human endurance strategy and the sheer will to conquer to get the title to take home that blue vase it’s brutal it’s beautiful and it reminds us why we watch and why they race the Tur to France

This is vingegaard's year
Enough with the previews. Get on with it.
Waking up everyday of TDF and asking yourself, Who wins today? Answer: Today Pogačar.
Remco about to smoke Pogacar
In a new heath wave? although at these speeds, they get some air… Maybe less in the climbs, though.
they made stage 19 and 20 non GC, meaning not enough for GC but it is somewhat dumb to attack on those two if small differences are there
Nice narration
thank you for the info.
You failed to mention the change to the final day in Paris, riding a few laps up Sacre Coeur. Pretty big change I would say. From a fans perspective its going to be fun, the riders though, not easy, the GC guys will have to be full attention. Can't wait for this race to get underway.
