The 2025 Tour de France will be the biggest and most important race of the season and will be taking place between the 5th and 27th of July. This is the sport's climax of the season and every year it delivers memorable action. We preview stage 2.
The second stage of the race should have a sprint finale in Boulogne-sur-Mer, although a few sprinters will definitely be dropped by the steep climbs that antecede it. The final ramp to the line is 1.2 kilometers long at 3.8%:

- Itzulia? Are you sure it wasn’t more a boycott? Didn’t see many others going who crashed last year, out of the dozen of the crash only Cras I think.Mistermaumau16-04-2025
- MVDP also had a late bike change, so in theory a chance for Pogi to reel some time back. But by that point MvdP was strongermobk16-04-2025
- l don’t live in europe, i live in southern california. can someone explain why this stuff happens to van der poel and seemingly ONLY van der poel? i don’t need anyone to say it’s wrong or awful or whatever. i’m looking for a real cultural explanation of this phenomenon from someone who has a much deeper understanding of the forces at play than i do. thanks in advance.OCexile15-04-2025
- A MVDP victory certainly did not seem "inevitable" before the crash, with TP, MVDP and Philipsen leaving the peloton behind.. Pogi attacked to drop Philipsen, with Mathieu understandably unwilling to help, and he was surely attempting to put MVDP on the limit later by attacking again, until the crash derailed his efforts. Still the gap was manageable, and he was slowly trimming it down, but then a mechanical forced him to change bikes and that was the final straw. Kudos to TP for making it exciting, rather than just a walk in the park for MVDP.FredMan15-04-2025
- nice idea, but as analysis point out over and over, mvdp is more willing than anyone to lose a race in order to win it. why do you think smart riders like wout, ganna and mads end up doing his dirty work over and over? because he’s almost impossible to manipulate.OCexile15-04-2025
- I don’t really think Tadej would have felt comfortable relying on his team at PR more than his instinct.Mistermaumau15-04-2025
- Still think Mads was a little overweight this year.Mistermaumau15-04-2025
- As everyone discovered to their amazement at Amstel 2019 when they’d more or less written him off ;-)Mistermaumau15-04-2025
- Thanks :-)Mistermaumau15-04-2025
- You've got to take your pulls, but do them easier and shorter than he does. Just enough to keep him happy. And if Pog attacks, sit up and let MVDP close it down.acem8215-04-2025
