Defending champion Tadej Pogačar aims to put his name among the immortals with a fourth title, but will face stern competition from rivals Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič.

Indeed, the return of mountain stages at the likes of Col de la Loze and Hautacam, where Pogačar has come undone in past years, means the race for the yellow jersey is far from a foregone conclusion.

Twenty-one stages across 23 days will take riders through gruelling climbs, daring descents, and lung-busting sprints before they reach Paris and the race's conclusion on the Champs-Élysées on Sunday 27th July.

The Tour de France reaches audiences far beyond anything else in the sport and fans will be licking their lips ahead of the 2025 event.
