The 2025 Tour de France routes were unveiled with the men climbing Mont Ventoux and the women racing nine days for the first time.

The 2025 editions promise intense racing with tricky crosswinds, high-altitude battles, and key summit finishes in the Pyrenees and Alps.

After a rare finish outside Paris this past July, cycling’s biggest race is getting back to basics for the 2025 route that was unveiled Tuesday. A mostly flat first week is followed by a lot of climbing in the last 10 stages that will pave the way for another duel between defending champion Tadej Pogacar and his best rival Jonas Vingegaard.
