Exciting events in 2025 for cycling enthusiasts to look out for

We always love it when a new year rolls around. Not because we want to implement our New Year resolutions (let’s be honest, it’s the end of January and most are broken already) but because we have a full year of cycling events ahead of us. And trust us, some epic ones are coming up in 2025.

This is a quick overview of what we think will be the most exciting events for cycling enthusiasts in 2025.

Without doubt, the ultimate event for cycling enthusiasts is the Tour de France. It is probably the only cycling event that so many non-cyclists will tune in to and watch. The best betting sites, many of which can be found at Aussiebet.com, will be loaded with bets you can make.

As a cycling enthusiast, you’ll have weeks of watching the top cyclists in the world strategize and compete on some of the most difficult terrain in Europe. Watch cyclists as they traverse mountains, head along the coast and navigate through some of the most beautiful towns in France, before they end up in Paris for the grand finish. This is a must-watch.

The Tour of Valencia might not be as long as the Tour de France, but if you’re looking for some epic cycling through beautiful locations, then it might be worth watching. We always love watching cycling events in Spain, since most of the locations are stunning. There are lots of open areas and the cameras often get some fantastic shots.

We love cycling events that go through multiple countries. A lot of professional cyclists will see the Giro d’Italia as a warm-up event for the Tour de France, which means that you’ll get a lot of tremendous competition on the roads, although do bear in mind that many professional cyclists won’t go all-out here. It is pretty tough to do two lengthy competitions in a row, after all.

The 2025 Giro d’Italia will start in Albania and ends in Rome, Italy. The complete route hasn’t been finalized yet (it will be finalized at the end of January). But, once it has been finalized, expect the route to traverse some of the most stunning locations in Europe (yes – we know we say that a lot, but Europe is gorgeous).

It’s a long wait for this competition, but it’s one we feel is always worth waiting for. This competition will start in Italy, before heading into Spain and finishing there. A lot of pro cyclists will be resting after a heavy summer of competition, so you might not see every major cyclist compete here. That’s cool with us, though. La Vuelta has always been a way for cyclists just cutting their teeth in the pro cycling industry to showcase their talents. Some big names have ridden here over the years.

We are heading away from Europe for this one. A UCI competition, the tour of Oman will take cyclists through this beautiful Asian country. Unfortunately, it happens right in the middle of a few major European competitions, and many top cyclists opt to focus on those instead. However, if you’re looking for something a bit different and want to see something that isn’t Europe (and perhaps some riders who you might not be familiar with), then the Tour of Oman is certainly worth checking out.

Tour of the Alps – April 21 to April 25

We envy the cyclists who get to ride this route. Crossing through the Alps, mostly through Italy and Austria, cyclists will cycle over 700km in one of the best locales in the world. Nothing quite like heading downhill with gorgeous mountains in the background, right? Although, we can’t imagine the uphill ride will be too thrilling. Still, we’ll be watching – we don’t need to worry about the hills. Sure, it is a shorter European competition, but every iteration has been well worth watching.

Advertorial: Let’s go for a one-day event here. The Amstel Gold Race, heading through the Netherlands, allows riders to ride in a slightly different way. With this race, riders don’t need to plan how they’ll be tackling a multi-day event. They can just go all-out through the streets and countryside of the Netherlands. Expect some blisteringly fast riding here. You’ll often find different cyclists from those who compete on the tours, due to the whole different way of racing.

Finally, you’ve got two events happening in Canada. On September 12, the Grand Prix Cycliste will be happening in Quebec, and two days later, on the 14th, the competition will head to Montreal. Both are great competitions and are definitely worth tuning in for.
