Stage 19, mountain: Albertville to La Plagne (129.9 km, reduced to 95 km)
This is the final true mountain test of the Tour, featuring 4,550 meters of elevation gain. The stage typically includes five categorized climbs, but a cattle cull resulted in the stage being rerouted and shortened by over 30 kilometers. General classification contenders must make their move here if they hope to unseat Pogačar.
Stage 20, hilly: Nantua to Pontarlier (184.2 km)
The penultimate stage winds through the Jura and Doubs regions and has four categorized climbs, including the Côte de Thésy (3.6 km at 8.9 percent). The final rolling 60 kilometers offer a strong opportunity for a breakaway group to hold off the peloton. This is unlikely to alter the GC standings unless something dramatic happens.
Stage 21, flat: Mantes-la-Ville to Paris (132.3 km)
After last year’s Olympic detour to Nice, the 2025 Tour returns to the Champs-Élysées for the traditional sprint finish. This year’s finale also celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Tour’s first finish on the iconic boulevard in 1975. Before reaching the cobblestones, riders will pass through Montmartre in a tribute to the Paris Olympic road course. Expect a fast, technical battle among the sprinters.
Current Jersey Leaders and Contenders (After Stage 18)
Yellow (Individual): Pogačar leads Jonas Vingegaard by 4 minutes, 26 seconds. Florian Lipowitz sits in third, with Oscar Onley, Primož Roglič and Félix Gall also in the top six.
Polka Dot (Climber): Pogačar leads Vingegaard by 16 points. Lenny Martinez and Thymen Arensman trail closely.
White (Youth): Lipowitz leads the U26 classification, with Onley and Kévin Vauquelin following. Remco Evenepoel, once a strong contender, abandoned the race on Stage 14.
