When does the Tour de France 2025 start and finish?
The race starts on Saturday, July 5, and ends on Sunday, July 27. It begins in Lille and wraps up in Paris like always. Three full weeks of racing across France.
How many stages are there?
There are 21 stages in total. Riders get two rest days, so the whole thing runs for 23 days.
How long is the race?
This year the riders will cover around 3,320 kilometers. That’s just over 2,060 miles of roads, hills, and mountains.
What kind of stages are in the race?
The Tour mixes it up. Some stages are flat and fast, perfect for sprinters. Some have rolling hills. Others go deep into the mountains where things get really tough. There are also two stages where riders race alone in time trials.
What are the jerseys awarded in the Tour de France?
The yellow jersey goes to the rider leading the race overall. Green is for the best sprinter. The red and white polka dot jersey is for the best climber in the mountains. The white one goes to the best young rider under 26.
Where can I watch the Tour de France 2025?
If you’re in the US, you can watch it on Peacock or NBC. In the UK, it’s on ITV4 and Eurosport. In France, just turn on France Télévisions. Aussie fans can stream it on SBS for free. Most channels also have apps, so you can follow the race on your phone or tablet.
Do I need tickets to watch it in person?
Not really. Most of the race is free to watch along the roadside. People bring flags, chairs, snacks, and enjoy the day. Some areas, like near the finish line in Paris, have VIP zones. For those, you might need to book a ticket in advance.
How do the time trials work?
In those stages, each rider goes out alone. They ride against the clock with no help from teammates. It’s just them, their bike, and the timer. These stages can change the leaderboard, especially if someone is good at solo riding.
