Course 2025 Tour de France Femmes: Calf-biting climbs at the start in Brittany, queen stage finishes on Col de la Madeleine
CyclingTuesday, 29 October 2024 at 09:09
The route for the 2025 Tour de France Femmes has been revealed. Following the thrilling 2024 edition, next year’s race promises a worthy sequel: the first stages will be challenging in the hilly region of Brittany, followed by decisive climbing stages in the Massif Central and the Alps. Remarkably, the 2025 edition does not include a time trial.
While the men’s race will start in Lille, it had already been announced that Le Grand Départ for the women would take place in Brittany. Vannes hosts the first stage, ending in Plumelec. This challenging stage features several hills, with the finish atop the Côte de Cadoudal. The second stage is a classic from Brest to Quimper, dotted with punchy climbs that will add excitement to the course. The finish is tough again. Peter Sagan won here in 2018. In the third stage, the women start in La Gacilly, leaving Brittany behind as they finish in Angers — a stage tailored for the pure sprinters.
The route continues southeast, moving deeper into central France. The fourth stage, from Saumur to Poitiers, offers another opportunity for the fast riders. Following that, the race intensifies on the stage to Guéret with climbs in the Massif Central. The sixth stage is also grueling, with the Col du Béal en route from Clermont-Ferrand to Ambert, promising a tough challenge. Stage seven starts flat off in Bourg-en-Bresse, but the finale in Chambéry includes the Col du Granier, followed by a descent into the ski resort.
The final weekend kicks off with the first true mountain-top finish. Starting from Chambéry, riders face the Queen Stage: 3,500 meters of elevation gain, with the finish waiting on top of the legendary Col de la Madeleine. But the race isn't over yet. The last stage starts in Saint-François Longchamp and takes on the arduous Col du Joux Plane and Col du Corbier. The finish is in Châtel Les Portes du Soleil, where Bob Jungels won a stage in 2022. This unpredictable final stage ensures plenty of potential for a nail-biting finale.

- Van Aert is really handsome. He can influence me all day! Ditto for Philipsen. Why do you think many of us love cycling?: to see heroic attempts at climbing mountains at high altitudes or to watch speedsters sprint for the finish line or to watch a human being ride at break neck speed down a tricky descent? No, it's all about their lean physiques and muscular legs. (apologies for objectifying these dedicated and amazing athletes).BarwonHeadsUp25-10-2024
- It is unfortunate that the author can't feel the joy that Pogacar brings to the sport and his fans who are legion and I for one feel lucky to have watched such a memorable performance and historic season From the Strada until yesterday with multiple wins in stages in both tours and beyond dominance in the World's. He is proud to wear the Rainbow stripes, shows his leadership to protect his fellows and is as courteous and sportsman-like as the sport allows. He goes early to not have to respond to each attack as all the rest would make him do it. Any racer who could would do the same. Don't "grow tired" of greatness as it is always fleeting.ccrider13-10-2024
- What load of rubbish. Pog is likely a once in a generation cyclist, the like of which hasn't been seen since 'the Cannibal '. How many people were complaining that Merckx was making racing predictable? I remember this year's World RR as one of the most exciting I've watched. Mainly BECAUSE Pog was the favourite and launched what everyone thought (Pog included) was a suicidal attack with 80km to go. For the next 2 hours, I was on the edge of my seat thinking "this is too much, even for Pog". Maybe Zonnefeld prefers the snooze-fest that is a bunch sprint? Like most people I know, I can't watch two hours of the bunch riding very fast... I wait for the final 5km and watch just the sprint. In any event, most races are won from a sprint or lone break. What difference does it make who makes the lone break? Ultimately, the other contenders will have to figure out a way to beat Pog. Even if that means collaboration between teams. It's going to be an exciting few seasons, until the next Pog arrives on the scene. If this is boring, heaven knows what exciting looks like!Michael513-10-2024
- This is not a gravel race. UCI fail, from the surface they are on to team tactics. In what country was the first "gravel race" in what country is the most popular gravel race? Go with the race model that created the discipline.
