2025 Tour de France

The 2025 Tour de France was the 112th edition of the Tour de France. It started in Lille on 5 July, and finished with the final stage at Champs-Élysées, Paris, on 27 July. Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates XRG won the general classification, marking his fourth victory in the race in the past six editions. His advantage began to grow after winning the fourth stage to Rouen and placing second in the first individual time trial. After winning the seventh stage to Mûr-de-Bretagne, Pogačar solidified his advantage in the Pyrenees, dominating the first mountain stage to Hautacam and the mountain time trial to Peyragudes the following day. He held off attacks from other general classification (GC) contenders in the final week to win the race by almost four and a half minutes. Second place overall went to Jonas Vingegaard of Visma–Lease a Bike. He was consistently the second-best climber in the race but he lost a total of more than three minutes to Pogačar in the first individual time trial and the mountain stage to Hautacam. The last step on the podium was occupied by Florian Lipowitz of Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe. He gradually built his advantage over fourth place in the first two weeks before holding off the challenge of Oscar Onley of Team Picnic–PostNL in the final week. Lipowitz became the first German to finish on the podium of the Tour since Andreas Klöden in 2006. The points classification was won by Jonathan Milan of Lidl–Trek. He won two sprint stages while also placing consistently in the intermediate sprints. In addition to placing third in the GC, Lipowitz also took the white jersey as the best rider under the age of 26 while the mountains classification went to Pogačar in addition to winning the general classification. The teams classification was won by Visma–Lease a Bike. The award for the race's most combative rider went to Ben Healy of EF Education–EasyPost, who won a hilly stage during the first week, and wore the yellow jersey for two days before placing ninth overall.
