Dominant Pogačar and Resurgent Vingegaard Set to Ignite Tour De France
- The 2025 Tour de France will start on July 5 in Lille with 184 riders across 21 stages entirely within France, featuring five mountain finishes including Hautacam and Col de la Loze.
- Tadej Pogačar, the 26-year-old Slovenian world champion and part of UAE Team Emirates, aims for a fourth Tour title after dominant recent performances, while 28-year-old Dane Jonas Vingegaard and his Visma-Lease a Bike team remain major rivals.
- The route revisits challenging climbs where Pogačar previously struggled and Vingegaard excelled, including Mont Ventoux, Hautacam, and Col de la Loze, with Stage 18 featuring three Hors catégorie ascents finishing atop Col de la Loze.
- Stage 18 spans 171.5 kilometers and could see Vingegaard’s team aggressively challenge Pogačar if he holds or nears the yellow jersey, increasing race pressure and possible dramatic shifts in the general classification.
- Pogačar arrives as the outstanding favorite with strong teammates like João Almeida, yet faces a tough course and resilient rivals, suggesting an intense competition with unpredictable outcomes across the three-week race.
