The 2025 Tour de France marks the 112th chapter in cycling’s most iconic race, set to roll from July 5 to 27.
This year’s edition kicks off in Lille and winds its way through a purely French route — a throwback to tradition, with all 21 stages staying within national borders for the first time since 2020.
Riders will head out from Lille, travel through Normandy, swing around the country in a clockwise direction, tackle the rugged Pyrenees, then climb into the Alps before the grand finale on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
All eyes will be on the duel between reigning champion Tadej Pogačar and his Danish rival Jonas Vingegaard. The two have dominated the Tour in recent years, finishing first and second in each of the last four editions.
Pogačar, riding for UAE Team Emirates XRG, is chasing history, a potential fourth yellow jersey at just 26 years old would make him the youngest to ever reach that milestone.
Sprint fans will want to keep an eye on Eritrea’s Biniam Girmay. After making history in 2024 as the first Black African rider to win a Tour stage, and going on to take three along with the green jersey, Girmay returns as the headliner among the peloton’s fastest men.
Here's how to watch all 21 stages of the 2025 Tour de France in the United Kingdom.
