CyclingThursday, 30 November 2023 at 22:16
The 2025 Tour de France will begin in Lille, in the northwestern corner of France. This is official, the presentation of the first three stages took place this morning in the city that will host one of the upcoming Grand Depart.
In the Nord-Pas de Calais region the riders will find the opening days of the Tour de France. This comes in absolute contrast to the 2024 race which begins in Florence, Italy, and then focuses exclusively in the center but mostly southern half of the country. 2025 will see the northern roads in the headlines at first.
The Grand Depart will take place in Lille, the first day starts and ends in the city that borders Roubaix but will not feature cobbles, instead a bunch sprint finish for the first day. Stage 3 from Valenciennes to Dunkerque should also end in a bunch sprint following a climb to Mont Cassel, but stage 2 from Lauwin-Planque to Boulogne-sur-Mer will have an explosive finale where puncheurs are expected to thrive.
Tour de France 2025 stages:
Stage 1: Lille - Lille
Stage 2: Lauwin-Planque - Boulogne-sur-Mer
Stage 3: Valenciennes - Dunkerque
Stage 4: Amiens - ?

- Wrong Choice. they cannot reconcile between Pedersen and Milan and Ayuso and Skejlmose, He will be in no man's landabstractengineer14-12-2025
- I like see him compete against Ayuso at Vuelta.
KerisVroom14-12-2025 - They'll be the new target for protests, even if Adams isn't involved. Just being tied to that team is a really bad idea. Its probably going to hurt Canyon too.Veganpotter14-12-2025
- He’s done cross before. I bet if he dedicated himself to that he’d start cleaning up.mobk14-12-2025
- 1. No, the team owners want to have reliable money without having to actually perform. 2. It's "creative destruction". It's how things improve. Resources and labor are put to more productive uses. 3. That'd be more likely to happen if you listened to these "cycling is unsustainable" whiners. 4. There are thousands of pro races per year. Some teams are happy with a podium. Everything here is a Non Sequitur. -An Economistacem8214-12-2025

- He could always try some off road racing, where skills play a part, not just his engine. A great road rider, but not a complete all round rider......wipperman9513-12-2025
- As a cyclist, I'm amazed by his capabilities, as a fan I believe he will be considered as the best ever by the time he retires.awp13-12-2025
- While he is a good rider, he is not in the Pogi, Vingegaard, Lipo and others category yet. Can he be? Time will tell but for now he is in a 2nd Tier. And let's not forget guys like Del Torro who very well could be almost if not as good as Pogi in a year or twomd197513-12-2025
