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
