Known for his consistency in high-speed finishes, Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck remains a strong contender. Biniam Girmay of Intermarch\u00e9-Want\u2014the 2024 green jersey winner and first African to win a Tour stage\u2014will be looking to build on his historic performance, a Cycling Weekly report stated.
Other notable sprinters to look out for are Fabio Jakobsen, Dylan Groenewegen, Tim Merlier, and Jonathan Milan, who can all be expected to sparkle in the quick finishes. Sprint legend Mark Cavendish, meanwhile, has retired on a high with a record-breaking stage win in 2024, paving the way for a new cohort of sprinters to claim the limelight at the Tour.
Tour de France 2025 routeThe route for this year\u2019s race will be a 100 per cent French affair for the first time since 2020. The route, including 21 stages, will be spanned across 11 regions and 34 departments. Of the 21 stages, seven are flat, six are hilly, other six are gruelling mountain ranges with five summit finishes at Hautacam, Luchon-Superbagn\u00e8res, Mont Ventoux, Courchevel Col de la Loze, and La Plagne Tarentaise.<\/p>\n

The event will reportedly feature two individual time trials and two rest days. The mountainous route will traverse Massif Central, the Pyrenees, the Alps, and the Jura, with the Col de la Loze being the highest point of the race at 2,304 meters.<\/p>\n

Among the highlight stages will be the revival of the classic Pau to Luchon-Superbagn\u00e8res route, which has not featured in the race since 1986. The cumulative rise over the course of the race will top an incredible 52,500 metres. Stage 5’s 33 kms time trial in Caen will suit powerful individual riders, whereas the shorter but higher 11 kms test on Stage 13 from Peyragudes to Loudenvielle will suit climbers.
