The 2025 Tur to France is here. And if you’re wondering who’s racing, where it’s going, what’s at stake, and why this year is such a beast, sit tight because this is everything you need to know before stage 1 kicks off. All live in demand for our viewers in Canada on Flow Bikes. And for everyone else, while I’ll be on the ground for interviews, post-race analysis, I’ve got you covered. First things first, this tour is pure France. For the first time in, I think five years, the race doesn’t dip into Spain, Denmark or Italy. Just 3 weeks, 21 stages, all hexagon. And the Grand Depar happening in Lil up in the north. Think wind cobbles and nervous energy from day one. So yeah, don’t expect an easy warm-up at the top of the GC fight. Well, there are three names that everyone’s watching. Let’s break them down. Numero Uno. Everyone is talking about Tade Pugachar coming in as the JRO Tour double contender from last year. He’s hot. He’s chaotic. He’s trying to win that fourth Turf France victory. Yonas Vingaga, two-time tour of France winner, crashes spring in Perise, but if he’s there, he’s serious, silent, but deadly. Remco Evanapole still chasing that tour breakthrough. Talent off the charts. Team support. Let’s talk about that later. These three are set for an allout tour long war of attrition. Now let’s talk the route. This one hurts. Mon 2 is back. Riders hit it on stage 16 after a long drag and it could blow the GC apart. Then there’s the uphill time trial to Paragu. Just 11 km, but it’s steep and relentless. And the Alps, one word, lows. The Cold Lao is on stage 18. It ends a stage preceded by the Glendon and the Melin. That’s 5,500 m of climbing in one stage. Call your Mercur. This tour doesn’t slowly build. It drops the hammer and never lets up. Now, let’s talk sprinters because you might think without Mark Cavendish, who retired after setting that record last year, Matts Person who focused on the JRO, it’s going to be sprinter light. But think again. This year, we’ve got Yasper Phillips, green jersey machine. Three stage wins last year. Benium G, first black African stage winner and last year’s green jersey champ. Throw in there Tim Miller and a host of others. Oh, did I forget? Wild fan art back again. and he says he’s not going for the green, but let’s see what happens when he smells a finish line. Sprint stages will be battles, not breathers. And the super teams are here. Well, unless we’re talking Sudol Quickstep, I’ll get to them. UAE team Emirates with Tad Pogachar stacked. They’ve got Adam Yates coming from the JRO Jama, Tim Wellins. I’ll throw so many of the other ones in there. All backing Tad Pagotchar all with one goal in mind. Another tour of France victory. Visman Lisa bike might not have full strength, especially if Yonas is still recovering, but they know how to control a race. Sudol Quickstep Remco’s team is looking thin, especially with Mikuel Landanda out after crashing in the Giratalia and Kevin Verv crashing in the Dolphane. That could be a problem. Expect alliances, attacks, and a lot of tactical bluffing. This tour, it’s not just one for the stats, it’s one for the ages. If Taday wins after the classic season he had, he enters all-time great territory. If Yonas comes back from his injury to win, well, that’s one of the gutsiest comebacks in cycling history. If Remco finally pulls it off in a second tour to France, the doubters get shut up for good. There’s history on the line and pain. A lot of pain. Drop your thoughts in the comments. Who’s going to dominate this tour to France? Is Tad going to double up after last year, pull off his fourth Tour to France victory? Will Remco Evanapole get us first? Will Yonas pull a comeback and pick up his third tour of to France? Or will it be someone else? Let us know. So whether you’re here for the GC drama, mountain massacres, or sprint showdowns, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the toughest tours in recent memory. Allay, let’s go.
