2024 Paris Olympics'cobbled climb may be added to 2025 Tour de France's final stage
Cycling
The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris provided for exciting racing in an urban circuit, and the Tour de France is looking to keep the momentum going on this idea. Before the riders make it to the Champs-Elysées, in 2025 we may see the peloton tackle the cobbled Butte Montmartre in what would be a meaningful change.
According to the French news outlet Le Parisien the submission has already been given, requesting the passage through this area. It's not know yet whether this will be accepted, but taking into consideration the magnitude of the Tour de France and the success of the integration of the climb in last summer's Olympics, it can be said that there is a very high chance that it will go through.
It will be the 50th anniversary of the Tour finishing on the iconic avenue of the city, and now, but it is possible that the final stage this time around won't just feature the traditional celebrations and then the flat circuit in Paris, but instead there may be some high-octane action beforehand which can include offensive racing and a great opportunity for the classics riders to also leave their mark.

- I like to have a bet on cycling now and then. No big stakes a £ or a $ and always feel that given the right circumstances Alaphilipe gives you value for money :-)1stpastthepost15-01-2025

- I have no cause. I think that it is a healthy thing for a human being to forgive and, where possible, forget an “adolescent” lapse of judgement. Regarding rape or genocide or the many other bad things the human race does to each other I surely do make comment where appropriate. We all have exactly the same choice and fundamental right to question and engage similarly on “any” topic that concerns you - as you have done here.roadman5412115-01-2025
- Erm, that’s pretty forgiving, up to what point are you willing to go? Rape, murder, genocide? As for Mikolajjj, if you feel so strongly on the subject, why waste you time here where the author is hardly likely to notice you. There must be millions of worse cases to go comment on snd thousandd on more useful websites for furthering your cause.Mistermaumau15-01-2025
- He is definitely among the best, but marred by bad luck the past few years. With Pogi, MvDP, Remco and Wout dominating the classics, the likelihood for him to win in the classics is slimmer these days even if he's back to his best shape. I like his attacks, more strength to his elbow.

- Killing is not something you can get by with by saying you're sorry. What kind of a person you need to be to kill for fun? How will end a person who starts with killing? Trek has a big + for me forever, for getting rid of him.mikolajjj14-01-2025
