The route of the Tour de France 2025 will be known on Tuesday October 29. Several cities hope that this essential event in French sport will shine a spotlight on them.
To reach Paris, the Tour de France 2025 will not start from abroad, a first since 2021. The first pedal strokes will be given in Lille (North) on July 5 and will continue for three days across the North. The sprinters will then reach Normandy, where Caen (Calvados) could be in the spotlight on the occasion of its millennium. “It will be almost twenty years, if we manage to obtain it, since it has been in our city and because it is one of the major markers in sporting events on a national scale”assures Aristide Olivier, mayor of Caen.
The peloton could then head towards Brittany, which has not seen Tour riders pass through for four years. Several mysteries surround the rest of the route. Will a time trial take place in the Pyrenees? Will Mont Ventoux make its return to the program? Nine months before the big departure, a duel between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar should still be observed.
