Normal service resumes at the 112th edition of the Tour de France, which will conclude in Paris after last year's shake-up.

The French capital hosted the Olympics in 2024, meaning the race ended in Nice and not on the Champs-Élysées, but the iconic finish line returns this summer.

Defending champion Tadej Pogačar is the favourite to be wearing the yellow jacket when the riders arrive in Paris at the end of July, but the likes of Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič will hope to have something to say about that.

For the first time since 2021, the Grand Depart is back on French soil as this year's Tour de France gets going in Lille.

Among the 21 stages that will wind across the country and finally head to Paris are six mountain stages and two time trials – with the biggest race in the cycling calendar set to thrill viewers again this year.
