Tour de France to take all-French route for first time since 2020
The 2025 Tour de France will be staged exclusively in France for the first time in five years. The 112th edition of the Grand Tour will feature 21 stages, starting in Lille on 5 July and ending in Paris on 27 July.
The Tour had raced through Andorra in 2021 while it had Grand Departs in Copenhagen in 2022, Bilbao in 2023 and Florence in 2024.
The 2025 race will also see a return of the Champs-Elysees finale on the 50th anniversary of its first finish there. The Tour finished outside Paris for the first time in its history this year because of the Olympics.
The Tour, stretching 3,320km, will feature two time-trials and six mountain-top finishes, with the first part taking place mostly on the plains.
