The
Tour de Luxembourg 2025 has been a very exciting race, we
preview the final day of the race, stage 5, in which the outcome of the overall classification can still change which will be contested this
September 21 from
10:30h CET to
14:45h CET.
After the time trial of the fourth stage,
Brandon McNulty practically closed the final classification. The UAE Team Emirates - XRG American is now 47 seconds ahead of Mattias Skjelmose. Third is Ecuador's Richard Carapaz, 1:04 behind.
All of them will be strong contenders for stage victory on the fifth and final day of competition. If nothing unusual happens, they should also be the three riders who take the podium positions at the end of the race.
Another man who could have something to say is Jhonatan Narvaez, McNulty's teammate and Carapaz's compatriot. Nor can we rule out Jordan Jegat, who will want to redeem himself after a rather weak time trial, showing that it is not at all his fetish specialty.
Profile: Mersch - Luxembourg
Mersch - Luxembourg (176.4 kilometers)
As for stage 5 itself, the route that will decide the Tour of Luxembourg will be a total of 176.4 kilometers and will finish on a beautiful and very tough classic format route, starting in Meersch and ending in the capital of Luxembourg.
Another day that, although it does not have titanic climbs, will not give truce at any time of the day. Undoubtedly, a very worthy way to finish a race that aims to be one of the most beautiful of this final stretch of the season, having a final circuit that is very explosive and could still see some meaningful GC differences.
