Tour de France 2025 Unveiled: Hautacam, Ventoux, & Col de la Loze

ASO revealed the 2025 Tour de France route, packed with legendary climbs like Mont Ventoux, Hautacam, and Col de la Loze. Tadej Pogacar is back to defend his title, but he'll face 10 straight race days before the first rest, plus two critical time trials, including a mountain TT to Peyragudes. Starting July 5th in Lille, the race hits high-stakes stages like Bastille Day at Mont-Dore and a finale in Paris on July 27th. Can Pogacar conquer this climber's course, or will Vingegaard or Evenepoel claim the throne?

Ventoux summit finish is always welcomed. Going to try and be there.

More climbing only benefits Tadej even more. He not only won, he decimated the field in every mountain stage in both grand tours this year. Plus, in his team, he will be surrounded by a bunch of the best climbers in the world.

If all the major racers and their teams arrive in top shape and don't get involved in significant crashes, that TDF will not be dominated by Poggi like it happened this 2024. I'm not saying he isn't going to win, but it won't be like this year piece of cake.

Ventoux, la loze and hautacam. 3 climbs where tadej suffered against jumbo

All the major climb finishes are the ones Pogi has cracked on in past years. They’re throwing everything at him to stop him😂

Kind of looks like Giro stuff with heavy mountains packed in second half. Look at stage 14 and then stage 18. Scary for riders but fun for us watching on TV. Can you suggest some good spots to see this live other than Paris?

[RetroCycling]

Surely the headlines should be Superbagneres and La Plagne? Just me? Must be my age!

[boxofspace]

I feel like more climbing overall benefits Jonas more than Tadej. Regardless it'll be an insane tour!

[jayobannon]

Every one needs to arrive healthy and on form

[aaronpauldagdagan]

compared to this years edition, which one is harder?

[stevegold]

Every tour needs the first stage to start as a team time trial....

[MeesterJ]

This years parcourse was way harder 😂 first week there is nothing but sprints

[elmode]

Brutal? Barely any proper mountains stages. 4-5 of them, and not even one in the 1st week.
Let us see how many GC contenders they will loose in week 1 due to crashes.
