US EditionTour De France Final Stage Will Include Montmartre Climb, Three Times
- The final stage of the 2025 Tour de France on July 27 starts in Mantes-la-Ville and includes climbing Montmartre three times before finishing on Champs-Élysées in Paris.
- Organizers redesigned the route to replace the traditional parade with a challenging circuit over Montmartre to add suspense and competitiveness to the last stage.
- The Montmartre hill climb covers 16.8 km over three circuits, including the cobbled Rue Lepic less than 7 km from the finish, creating potential tension before the usual Champs-Élysées sprint.
- Jonas Vingegaard, a two-time Tour champion, said "It will add stress" and praised Montmartre's atmosphere, while police prefect Laurent Nunez confirmed several thousand officers will ensure security.
- This historic route change aims to energize the final stage and introduce uncertainty, though sprinters may still compete and the main Tour winner is unlikely to be decided here as in 1989.
