Experiencing Lour de France 2025, a spectator’s journey in Amiens. Imagine yourself pedaling through the picturesque landscapes of France, cheering on the world’s best cyclists as they navigate winding roads and climb steep hills. That’s the magic of a tour to France, and it’s an event that has captivated me since I first laid eyes on it. Every year, I eagerly tune in to catch glimpses of the race. my trusty map of France spread out before me, ready to follow the rider’s progress through the country’s stunning vistas. But here’s where it gets controversial. How can someone who has never owned a bike, except perhaps a rusty tricycle from childhood, claim to be hooked on the tour to France? Well, my French friends chuckle when I explain that silage, it’s the scenery. I’m smitten with the beauty of the French countryside and the thrill of watching these athletes push their limits. Now picture this. A friend named Franis who resides in Amul sent me an exciting invitation to witness the start of a tour de France stage. Naturally I jumped at the chance. The race was scheduled to begin in the heart of Amy with a deba fictif allowing the riders to acclimate at a leisurely pace before hitting a real route outside the city. On July 8th, Franis and I positioned ourselves behind the barriers on Ruda Republic and Rudil eagerly awaiting the spectacle. Christian led the procar. The atmosphere was electric and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of belonging. This event reminded me of another memorable experience when Lug Depa of the Tour to France visited Yorkshire in 2014. We showcased the breathtaking Yorkshire landscape to an audience of 3.5 billion viewers across 188 countries. To celebrate, I prepared Grandma Absson’s lemon sandwich cake adorned with torost themed decorations for my tour maker team. To recreate Grandma Absson’s delicious lemon sandwich cake, you’ll need three eggs and their weight in butter, castor sugar, and self-raising flour. Around 6 oz or 175 g each, finely grated zest of one lemon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, milk to achieve a dropping consistency, about 2 tbsp. Preheat your oven to 180° C, 350° F. Line two 2 by 20 cm cake tins with baking paper and cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs alternating with the flour and fold in the lemon zest and milk until the mixture is smooth and drops from a spoon in a few seconds. Bake the cakes for about 25 minutes until they’re golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool on a wire rack before assembling with a lemon buttercream filling. 2 oz butter, 4 oz icing sugar and icing sugar for dusting. 4 tablespoons lemon curd, 2 tbsps milk, and finely grated zest of one lemon. Cream the butter and icing sugar together. Then mix in the lemon curd and milk. Spread the filling on one cake layer. Top with the other, dust with icing sugar and sprinkle with lemon zest. My connection to France extends beyond the tour to France. It all began during the Yorkshire Leal exchange when I was 14. This ambitious project brought hundreds of Yorkshire school children into the homes of French pen pals for 3 weeks each July. We then traveled by train and boat to Leil where French families took us on adventures throughout the Nord and Padelli. That trip introduced me to French cuisine and my first taste of riding a proper bicycle. It was during this exchange that my fascination with France and possibly the tour to France first blossomed.

Tour to France 2025 bikes head-to-head. The ultimate showdown. Why Pogachar and Vingagard’s 2025 tier def France bikes reveals cycling’s hidden battleground. Tade Pogachar and Jonas Vingard aren’t just racing for yellow jerseys. They’re piloting multi-million dollar engineering marvels that could redefine competitive cycling. As these titans clash in the 2025 tour to France, their bikes, the Curvello R5 and Kago V5RS for mountain stages and the Curvello S5 versus Kago Y1RS for aerodynamics tell a story of innovation, rulebook loopholes, and a high stakes armed race. But here’s the twist. The real competition might be happening in the workshop, not on the road. Climbing bikes, featherweight warriors, or rulebook rebels. Let’s start where races are won and lost. The mountains. Both riders wield bikes so light they defy logic until you learn the dirty secret. Curvell’s R5, already legendary for its weight savings, now shaves off even more grams with a redesigned front fork brake mount. Cologle’s V5RS counters with a 685 g frame, the lightest in the brand’s history. But here’s where it gets controversial. Both teams are legally cheating. To meet the UCI’s archaic 6.8 8 kg minimum weight rule. Mechanic stuff lid weights into crank axles. 300 g for Vingard’s R5 alone. Does a 25-year-old regulation still make sense when bikes are this advanced? Spoiler, it doesn’t. Serella’s R5 has long favored stiffness over aerodynamics. But insiders hint at a stealthy shift. While they’re tight lipped about data, Kago boasts a 9 watt saving at 50 km/h for the V5RS. Enough to matter when Pogatar attacks on rain slick descents. And those custom NV4.5 wheels, they’re not just pretty, though. The polished hubs are showstoppers. The narrower internal width lets Pogatar run his beloved Continental TT tires. A loophole clothing swap after ETRL guidelines banned his old setup. Aerobikes, speed machines, or marketing miracles. Enter the flat stage gladiators. Servell’s S5 and Kago’s Y1RS. Kago claims a jaw-dropping 20 watt saving at 50 km/h versus its predecessor. while CurveL touts a 6.3 watt gain. But here’s the part most people miss. These numbers only matter if you’re a pro averaging 40 km/h for hours. For weekend warriors, the Y1R’s 62991-lb frame set might buy bragging rights, not speed. Pokar’s Y1RS flaunts a Shimano Dura Ace double drivetrain, while Fingard gamles on Stram’s one by system, a controversial choice that sacrifices gear range for simplicity. Both riders, however, agree on one trend: 165 mm cranks. Shorter than your grandma’s knitting needles, these stubbier levers supposedly optimize hip angle and climbing cadence. Vingard’s team swears by them, but critics argue it’s just another fat. The price of speed, innovation, or insanity. Let’s talk money. Pogatar’s Kaga Y1R’s build reportedly tops £15,000, enough to buy a small car. Surveill’s S5, a budget 12,500. But here’s the kicker. These prices don’t include the R&D that trickle down to consumer bikes. That 5,499 V5RS frameside you’re eyeing, it’s a direct descendant of Pogatar’s 300 g lead weighted lightweight ste. The burning question. Are we engineering progress or just waiting for change? As Pogar and Vingard battle uphill, cycling faces its own reckoning. If brands can make bikes under the UCI’s weight limit, why force seems to add literal dead weight? And when arrow gains only matter at pro speeds, are consumers being sold snake oil? Sound off below. Is this peak bike tech or a sign that the sports rulebook needs a total overhaul?
