5 climbs & Montmartre less than 10km from finish - This is the new Champs-Elysees stage 21 at the 2025 Tour de France
Cycling
No longer a celebratory and processional finale to the Tour de France, stage 21 of the 2025 edition is set give the peloton much to think about. After previously confirming the addition of the ominous Montmartre climb to the stage's parcours, the Tour de France has now officially unveiled the full stage profile and you can find it right here.
Inspired by the exciting battle for gold in the road race at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, a hilly and challenging profile awaits the riders on stage 21 this time around. "5 climbs on the program, with the final passage in the rue Lepic less than 7 km from the final finish of the 2025 Tour de France on the Champs-Elysées," explains a post on the official X (Twitter) account of the French Grand Tour. "This final stage could be explosive!"
They're not wrong either. As mentioned, this is no longer the processional ending to the Tour de France than has become the norm. This is instead likely to be a firework finale to the most watched bike race on the planet, one that is surely set to carry on the drama all the way to the iconic cobbles of the Champs-Elysées. See the full stage profile down below!

- Roglic could not have won anyway, after Jonas followed him when Roglic decided it was his turn for a stage win. Jonas had already attacked Kuss twice, so it was Jonas who was within seconds of taking the lead before Kuss was 'gifted' the win. It felt a bit like Roglic was being thrown under the bus when the team made his unhappiness public.Hills3314-11-2026
- POG1, another nice doc about our favourite, I watched most of it with a big smile on my face (except for the bits about his crashes 😢 obvs!).Lozza14-11-2026
- Martinez had a good year! 5th at the Tour was a great result for him, albeit largely through getting in successful breaks, but he held it better than Pidcock who’d done the same.Lozza14-11-2026
- guess what Valgren, you're 34, and no you're not good enough. sorry to say.mij14-11-2026
- I'm a sepp fan and like to think he earned that LOL, indulge me : ) I think Jonas was fine. Roglic did not want to concede to Sepp. and I don't think you ever attack your own teammate in the leaders jersey if he is holding his own, which Sepp just about was.mij14-11-2026
- enough time? he's 24 years old. He's won 10 races over the last 2 years and some are significant. I won't argue about his attitude being good - it needs to improve. But with some coaching and mentorship he has a lot of winning ahead of him and has plenty of time to win a GT. I don't think he will ever beat Tadej, but everyone else is fair game Look at Mas and Valverde - they were 31 and 29, respectively, when they won the Vuelta.mij14-11-2026
- Pogacar has a fine head on his shoulders.Careful investments and a couple of coffee shops sounds like a wonderful way to chill after an intense career.Stay healthy GOAT.

- I live in Ljubljana and often go on trips in the surrounding area, where I frequently see young cyclists in 'Pogi Team' jerseys training, either alone or in groups. By simply motivating so many young people to take up cycling, Tadej has already achieved something truly significant.Velijo14-11-2026
- That's an excellent point. It's interesting that Vader came to that realization only after he learned that his contract wasn't going to be renewed.
