Seven flat stages, six hilly days, six mountain stages \u2013 five of them finishing at altitude \u2013 plus two time trials: that\u2019s the 2025 Tour de France. The route has it all:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast sprints, brutal climbs in the Pyrenees and Alps, and dramatic finishes. From 5 to 27 July 2025, the 112th edition of cycling\u2019s biggest race winds its way through France. Alpecin Cycling has taken a stage-by-stage look at the 2025 Tour \u2013 from the Grand D\u00e9part in Lille to the final showdown in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 1 | 5 July | Lille M\u00e9tropole \u2013 Lille M\u00e9tropole | 184.9 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 Tour de France opens with a sweeping loop around Lille, ridden anticlockwise. Over the 185 km route, wind could become a key factor. While the sprinter teams eye up the stage win, the polka dot jersey will be hotly contested. Three categorised climbs \u2013 including C\u00f4te de Notre-Dame-de-Lorette and the cobbled ramp up to Mont Cassel \u2013 give breakaway riders a real shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final climb comes 40 km from the line, giving the sprinter trains time to bring things back together. The last kilometre runs dead straight at the foot of the Lille Citadel \u2013 a perfect set-up for a dramatic bunch sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 2 | 6 July | Lauwin-Planque \u2013 Boulogne-sur-Mer | 209.1 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stage 2 gives the puncheurs a chance to shine. The 209 km route from Lauwin-Planque to Boulogne-sur-Mer winds through the undulating terrain of Pas-de-Calais, with the final 50 kilometres especially lumpy. Wind off the sea could add to the chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positioning will be everything \u2013 not just for stage hunters, but also for GC hopefuls trying to stay out of trouble. In the finale, the brutal 15% C\u00f4te de Saint-\u00c9tienne-au-Mont is followed immediately by the C\u00f4te d\u2019Outreau, before the road rises again into Boulogne-sur-Mer. Expect fireworks at the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 3 | 7 July | Valenciennes \u2013 Dunkirk | 178.3 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stage 3 runs 172 km from Valenciennes to Dunkirk, tracing a route near several famous pav\u00e9 sectors, including Mons-en-P\u00e9v\u00e8le, through France\u2019s old mining heartland. After the intermediate sprint in Isbergues \u2013 home to a well-known one-day race \u2013 the peloton turns towards the North Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The C\u00f4te de Cassel is the day\u2019s only real climb, but it\u2019s the final 30 km where crosswinds could cause real trouble. Will a breakaway survive, or will we see a full-bunch sprint in one of the world\u2019s most storied port cities? One thing\u2019s certain: it\u2019ll be fast and fiercely contested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 4 | 8 July | Amiens M\u00e9tropole \u2013 Rouen | 174.2 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stage 4 starts in Amiens, the historic capital of Picardy, and heads west through rolling terrain into Normandy. At 173 km long, the route is shaped by wind and topography. On the open plains early on, echelons could quickly form and shake things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final third is littered with short, punchy climbs \u2013 too hard for the pure sprinters. The C\u00f4te Jacques Anquetil looks tailor-made for late attacks and could set the tone for a dramatic finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 20 km to go, the peloton hits the historic C\u00f4te de Bonsecours, passing the memorial to French legend Jean Robic. Then come the C\u00f4te de Grand\u2019Mare and the savage Saint-Hilaire \u2013 a brutal 15% ramp that will empty the legs before a 5 km high-speed descent into Rouen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final kick? A 500-metre uphill drag just after the flamme rouge in Anquetil\u2019s hometown. Expect fireworks from punchy climbers and GC riders with a finishing kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 5 | 9 July | Caen \u2013 Caen (Individual Time Trial) | 33 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first of two time trials at this year\u2019s Tour comes on Stage 5 in Caen. The Normandy city marks its 1,000-year anniversary in 2025 \u2013 the perfect stage for a dramatic race against the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route is fast and flat, running mostly along wide, arrow-straight roads with little in the way of technical demands \u2013 ideal for pure power riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time trial specialists will have their eye on the stage win, but also the chance to take yellow. Top favourite? Olympic champion and reigning world TT champion, Remco Evenepoel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 6 | 10 July | Bayeux \u2013 Vire Normandie | 201.5 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stage 6 may not be a true mountain stage, but it\u2019ll feel like one. With more than 3,500 metres of climbing, the second-longest day of the race crosses into the rugged terrain of \u201cSwiss Normandy\u201d \u2013 a region defined by sharp hills, deep valleys and striking cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A series of categorised climbs awaits, winding through tough but scenic countryside \u2013 including Mont Picon and La Ranconni\u00e8re. The last big test is the C\u00f4te de Vaudry, four kilometres from the line, before riders hit the final ramp: 700 metres at over 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s short, it\u2019s savage \u2013 and it could prove decisive both for the stage and the GC battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 7 | 11 July | Saint-Malo \u2013 M\u00fbr-de-Bretagne Guerl\u00e9dan | 197 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Tour is back at M\u00fbr-de-Bretagne \u2013 where Mathieu van der Poel wrote his name into the history books in 2021. The grandson of the late, great Raymond \u201cPoupou\u201d Poulidor didn\u2019t just win the stage \u2013 he pulled on the yellow jersey in his very first Tour de France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 7 starts in the seaside town of Saint-Malo and covers 194 km through the heart of Brittany. Along the way, the peloton passes through Yffiniac \u2013 hometown of French legend Bernard Hinault \u2013 in a nod to the \u201cBadger\u201d and his final Tour win, exactly 40 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like in 2021, the riders will tackle the iconic M\u00fbr-de-Bretagne climb twice in the final 20 km. It\u2019s a brutally inconsistent ascent with ramps reaching 15% \u2013 and it never fails to deliver drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect ground for the puncheurs, where timing is everything \u2013 the first to jump rarely crosses the line first. GC riders will be alert too: get caught out on the climb, and you could lose 20\u201330 seconds before the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 8 | 12 July | Saint-M\u00e9en-le-Grand \u2013 Laval Espace Mayenne | 171.4 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stage 8 offers the sprinters another golden opportunity. The route from Brittany to the Mayenne is free of major obstacles \u2013 and even the wind is rarely a factor on this eastbound run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With less than four hours in the saddle, the final dash in Laval will be all about positioning, timing and raw speed. Whoever nails it best will take a prestigious Tour stage win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And speaking of prestige \u2013 the day starts in Saint-M\u00e9en-le-Grand, birthplace of the great Louison Bobet, who sealed his third consecutive Tour de France win back in 1955.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 9 | 13 July | Chinon \u2013 Ch\u00e2teauroux | 174.1 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The peloton rolls into Ch\u00e2teauroux after 170 km \u2013 and there’s little doubt who\u2019ll be eyeing the win: the sprinters. Stage 9 offers one more chance to shine before the first rest day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where Mark Cavendish took his maiden Tour stage in 2008, aged just 23 and racing for Team Columbia. Thirty-four more would follow \u2013 and counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not all straightforward. The final 40 km feature three sharp 90-degree turns \u2013 placed deliberately to expose the riders to crosswinds. If the breeze picks up on this summer Sunday afternoon, the peloton could splinter and tactical fireworks might follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 10 | 14 July | Ennezat \u2013 Le Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy | 165.3 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stage 10 is the first real test for the climbers \u2013 and the GC favourites can\u2019t hide any longer. From the start in Ennezat to the summit finish at Puy de Sancy, it\u2019s uphill all day. The 163 km stage packs in seven category 2 climbs and nearly as many uncategorised ones, racking up 4,400 metres of elevation through the rugged Massif Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Bastille Day falling on a Monday, the rest day shifts to Tuesday \u2013 and fans can expect fireworks on the road. After just 12 km, the peloton hits the first classified climb, the C\u00f4te de Loubeyrat, with more like it to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finale is a tough one: the climb to the ski resort at Le Mont-Dore via Puy de Sancy averages 8% over 3.3 km, with pitches up to 12%. A perfect opportunity for explosive GC riders to distance the diesels and grab a few precious seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 11 | 16 July | Toulouse \u2013 Toulouse | 156.8 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a well-earned rest day in Toulouse, the peloton gets back to business. Just five stages remain this week \u2013 but they pack a punch. Stage 11, a loop starting and finishing in Toulouse, may look simple on paper and even hint at a sprint. The course rolls through the scenic Fronton vineyards and features mostly flat roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the finale is anything but easy. With 8 km to go, the Mont\u00e9e Pech David looms \u2013 a short but savage climb on narrow roads, with ramps hitting 20%. Once over the top and down the descent, there’s barely time to reorganise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positioning ahead of the climb will be key. A small group of puncheurs and GC contenders may end up fighting it out for the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 12 | 17 July | Auch \u2013 Hautacam | 180.6 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stage 12 marks the Tour\u2019s arrival in the Pyrenees. From Auch, the peloton rides 120 km before hitting the mountains proper \u2013 and nearly all of the day\u2019s 3,850 metres of climbing comes in the final 60 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up is the Col du Soulor via Ferri\u00e8res: 11.8 km at 7.3%. Then comes the punchy Col de Bord\u00e8res \u2013 just 3.1 km long but still enough to sting. From the summit at 1,156 metres, riders plunge down a two-part descent through Argel\u00e8s-Gazost into the Vall\u00e9e d\u2019Arens, where the real test begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final climb to Hautacam stretches 13.5 km at an average of 7.8%. Jonas Vingegaard won here in 2022 \u2013 and with its unrelenting gradients and length, this summit finish is both a physical and mental battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 13 | 18 July | Loudenvielle \u2013 Peyragudes (Mountain Time Trial) | 10.9 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A spectacle for the fans \u2013 and pure pain for the riders. Stage 13 is a brutal mountain time trial in the Pyrenees, climbing from Loudenvielle to the Peyragudes altiport \u2013 a finish famously featured in Tomorrow Never Dies<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 10.9 km long, but ferociously steep \u2013 especially near the top. The uneven gradients make pacing everything. Get it wrong on the 16% ramps near the line, and you\u2019ll pay for it in lost seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening 3 km are flat or slightly downhill, followed by a brief lull \u2013 then the road bites. The final 8 km average 7.9%, climbing all the way to the Col du Peyresourde. The last few hundred metres to the altiport are cruel \u2013 and perfect for late drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 14 | 19 July | Pau \u2013 Luchon-Superbagn\u00e8res | 182.6 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The last of three brutal Pyrenean stages is a throwback to Stage 13 of the 1986 Tour \u2013 Greg LeMond\u2019s breakout day. That was when the American crushed his rival Bernard Hinault and set the stage for his first overall victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19 July 2025 may not be quite as historic, but it\u2019s set to be a massive day of racing. Over 183 km, the peloton tackles a trio of iconic climbs \u2013 Tourmalet, Aspin and Peyresourde \u2013 before the final summit finish at Luchon-Superbagn\u00e8res. The total elevation gain? Just shy of 5,000 metres \u2013 more than any stage this year except the Alpine queen stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a 70 km roll-out from Pau, the real climbing begins \u2013 up the western flank of the Tourmalet from Luz-Saint-Sauveur. It\u2019s long (19 km) and steady (7.4%) rather than steep, but relentless all the same. At the top, the first rider earns the prestigious Souvenir Jacques Goddet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, it\u2019s down into Sainte-Marie-de-Campan \u2013 the village famed for its forge \u2013 and straight into the Col d\u2019Aspin: 5 km at 7.6%. The road then rises again over the Col de Peyresourde \u2013 a climb the riders will partially recognise from Stage 13. From the summit at 1,569 m, a long 13 km descent leads into Bagn\u00e8res-de-Luchon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final climb kicks off right in town: Luchon-Superbagn\u00e8res \u2013 12.4 km at 7.5%. After everything that\u2019s come before, it\u2019s the perfect launchpad for a proper GC shake-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 15 | 20 July | Muret \u2013 Carcassonne | 169.3 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who\u2019ll hit the line first in the walled city of Carcassonne \u2013 a sprinter or a breakaway artist? Stage 15 has all the makings of that timeless Tour de France duel. The 169 km route from Muret may not be mountainous, but it\u2019s far from flat. Riders face 2,400 metres of climbing, including sharp kicks like the C\u00f4te de Saint-Ferr\u00e9ol and the Pas du Sant \u2013 the latter averaging 10% over nearly 3 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may all come down to whether the teams actually want a sprint \u2013 or whether they\u2019re just looking to survive the final stage of week two. One wildcard? The Tramontane wind. If it starts to blow over the final 40 km, the road into medieval Carcassonne could split wide open. And then, everyone \u2013 front group and bunch alike \u2013 will need to stay fully alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 16 | 22 July | Montpellier \u2013 Mont Ventoux | 171.5 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mont Ventoux \u2013 one of cycling\u2019s most iconic climbs. And yet, in nearly 75 years, the Tour has only finished at its 1,910-metre summit nine times. It should have been ten, but in 2016, fierce winds forced organisers to move the finish down to Chalet Reynard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 16 from Montpellier to the \u201cbald giant of Provence\u201d follows the classic Ventoux formula: a long flat run-in with no major climbs to soften the legs. It\u2019s reminiscent of Stage 20 in 2009, when Juan Manuel Garate outlasted Tony Martin in a breakaway duel to win at the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t be fooled by the profile. If the day is hot and windy \u2013 and it often is \u2013 the race could already explode long before the climb. Back in 2009, just 30 riders were left in the yellow jersey group by the time they reached the base of Ventoux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for 2025: the first 150 km are mostly flat, winding through the H\u00e9rault, Gard and Vaucluse regions \u2013 before the mountain decides who\u2019s got anything left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mont Ventoux \u2013 the Bald Giant of Provence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The climb to Mont Ventoux begins in the village of B\u00e9doin: 15.7 km long, averaging a punishing 8.8%. The lower section to Chalet Reynard is steep and sheltered. But once out of the trees, the real Ventoux begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upper slopes are fully exposed \u2013 a barren, rocky moonscape with no cover and no hairpins to break the rhythm. The gradient stays steady and unforgiving all the way to the observatory. It\u2019s this unrelenting nature that gives the mountain its brutal reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the wind stays down \u2013 unlike in 2016, when it forced organisers to shorten the stage \u2013 we could see a new climbing record. The current benchmark was set in 2004 by Iban Mayo during the Dauphin\u00e9\u2019s Ventoux time trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 17 | 23 July | Boll\u00e8ne \u2013 Valence | 160.4 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A calm day for the GC and mountain specialists \u2013 before the Alps bring the pain. Stage 17, from Boll\u00e8ne to Valence, is likely the sprinters\u2019 last proper shot before Paris. At 160.4 km, it\u2019s short, mostly flat, and tailor-made for a full-gas bunch sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route runs through the scenic Vaucluse and Dr\u00f4me regions, starting on gently rolling roads. As the peloton turns north towards the Baronnies, the terrain remains steady \u2013 but in the final third, a series of direction changes could make things nervy if the wind gets up. Positioning will be everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 18 | 24 July | Vif \u2013 Courchevel Col de la Loze | 171 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stage 18 is the queen stage of the 2025 Tour de France \u2013 and it earns the title. From Vif, just south of Grenoble, the route climbs the Col du Glandon and Col de la Madeleine before finishing atop the Col de la Loze. At 2,304 metres, this relatively new summit is the high point of the entire race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climbing starts early. From Allemond (746 m), the riders tackle the Glandon \u2013 a 21.7 km ascent averaging 5.1%. After a long descent to La Chambre, there\u2019s barely time to catch a breath before the road kicks up again: 19.2 km at a punishing 7.9%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the summit of the Madeleine, riders hit 2,000 metres for the first time this Tour. A long descent into Moutiers follows, then it\u2019s straight into the final climb \u2013 the Col de la Loze, tackled this time via the eastern approach from Courchevel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climb is 26 km long with an average of 6.5%, but it\u2019s the final four kilometres that really bite. They follow a purpose-built cycle track, riddled with uneven ramps and punishing gradients. At over 2,000 metres, it\u2019s a brutal finish that could shape the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 19 | 25 July | Albertville \u2013 La Plagne | 129.9 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The last Alpine stage is short but brutal \u2013 just 129.9 km with 4,600 metres of climbing crammed into five classified climbs. It\u2019s a proper rollercoaster and could well cause late drama in the GC battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alpine rollercoaster: a short but savage stage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s barely a flat stretch on this Alpine rollercoaster from Albertville \u2013 host of the 1992 Olympics \u2013 to the summit finish in La Plagne at 2,052 metres. The climbing starts almost straight away with the C\u00f4te d\u2019H\u00e9ry-sur-Ugine (11.3 km at 5.1%). It\u2019s a perfect springboard for early attackers. As we\u2019ve seen in the past, the unclear early dynamics \u2013 who\u2019s up the road and who\u2019s chasing \u2013 can make for chaotic, high-speed racing, with scattered groups and little control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short descent follows, but there\u2019s no real time to recover. At 21.4 km, the peloton tackles the second climb of the day \u2013 the Col de Saisies (13.7 km at 6.4%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a longer descent into Beaufort, the race might briefly settle \u2013 but not for long. A brutal double act awaits, as the road climbs towards the Cormet de Roselend via the Col du Pr\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 20 | 26 July | Nantua \u2013 Pontarlier | 184.2 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A final chance for the breakaway artists to make their mark. The route from Nantua to Pontarlier is likely too tough for the sprinters, with 2,850 metres of climbing over 185 kilometres through the rolling Jura region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After rolling out from Lake Nantua, the Col de la Croix de la Serra will ignite the racing and sort out the pecking order. But the short, punchy C\u00f4te de Th\u00e9sy \u2013 the day\u2019s final climb, 40 km from the line \u2013 could shake things up again. It\u2019s the perfect spot to launch a solo bid and ride to victory from the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 21 | 27 July | Mantes-la-Ville \u2013 Paris Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es | 132.3 km<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plans for a traditional sprint finish on the final stage of the 2025 Tour de France may be thrown into doubt. In May, race organiser A.S.O. confirmed the route will tackle Montmartre not once but three times. The Butte Montmartre \u2013 a 1.1 km climb averaging 5.9% \u2013 featured in the Paris 2024 Olympic road race and delivered a gripping finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 21 sets off from Mantes-la-Ville, to the northwest of Paris, covering 132.3 km. The finish, as tradition dictates, will once again be on the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es \u2013 marking its 50th anniversary as the iconic Tour finish line, first used in 1975 with Walter Godefroot taking the honours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with the final climb of Montmartre just 6.1 km from the line, a late solo attack or a reduced group sprint could well decide who wins on the most famous avenue in cycling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
