The first stage from Vannes to Plumelec on July 26 is only 79 km long and therefore the shortest section. The tour, which will take place for the fourth time in 2025 after the new edition, will finish on August 3 with a mountain stage to Châtel in Haute-Savoie. The day before, on stage 8, the riders will tackle the final ascent to the Col de la Madeleine. They have to conquer around 1500 meters of altitude over a distance of just under 19 km.
This year, the women's Tour de France ended with the mountain finish on the Alpe d'Huez. Although Katarzyna Niewiadoma lost more than a minute to the day's winner Demi Vollering, the Polish rider's large lead meant that she narrowly took the overall victory. Dutch rider Vollering, who will be riding for the French team FDJ-Suez for the next two years like Geneva's Elise Chabbey, had to settle for 2nd place, four seconds behind.
