The Tour de France 2025 begins on 5 July and marks the 112th edition of cycling's flagship race. Raced entirely in France for the first time in five years, this really is a 'Tour de France'. The 21-stage race begins in Lille in the north before heading west through Normandy and Brittany and taking an anti-clockwise route to the far south, before heading back to its traditional finish line in Paris via the Alps and Jura mountains.

One for the climbers - as all modern Tours are - the 2025 Tour de France route incorporates five summit finishes and spans four mountain ranges - the Alps, Massif Central, Jura and Pyrenees. The riders will also endure a brutal mountainous time trial to the Peyragudes altiport as part of a total of 44km against the clock, and a hilly opening week in northern France, with the first summit finish coming 10 days in on Bastille Day
