Anything can happen at Le Tour though, so stay tuned for the greatest three weeks of the cycling calendar. Read on and we'll show you how to watch the Tour de France 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE. Tour de France 2025 live streams: TV schedule, dates Tour de France 2025 live streams take place between Saturday, July 5 and Sunday, July 27. Start times vary each day. • FREE STREAMS — Watch on ITVX (UK) | SBS (Australia) • U.S. — Watch on Peacock • Canada — Watch on FloBikes • U.K. — Watch on Discovery+ • Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN The biggest actors once again return to the biggest stage as Jonas Vingegaard, Primož Roglič, Remco Evenepoel and of course Tadej Pogačar all line up for the 112th Tour de France. On paper, in reality and pretty much any way you want to look at it Pogačar is the number one out-and-out favorite who, backed up by a team of leaders all devoted to him is likely to take his 4th title at just 26 years old. Winning a grand Tour is no walk in the park though and the chance of an accident, of illness, or just a bad day on a hard stage can derail even the most fancied of riders so there is no such thing as a certainty. Away from the general classification favorites the start list is bulging with talent from green jersey contenders Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert, climbers in the shape of Oscar Onley, Lenny Martinez and the world's three best sprinters Tim Merlier, Jasper Philipsen and Jonathan Milan.

Tour de France 2025 stage information For the first time in five years all 21 stages of the race will take place on French soil with this year's 'Grand Depart' being held in the northern city of Lille. Kicking off the journey with a pan flat course, stage one will certainly be for the sprinters all of whom will be desperate to don the first Maillot Jaune of the 2025. Staying in the north-east for two more stages then heading west into Brittany the opening week is composed of flat and hilly days with a time trial on stage 5 which will start to shape the GC. After a longer than normal first period due to Bastille Day falling on a Monday, the initial 10 days then finish with stage 10 in the Massif Central on the climb to Le Mont-Dore. Week two sees the race transfer south to the Pyrenees kicking off with a flat stage around Toulouse before the mountains arrive on stage 12 with a visit to the mighty Hautacam. This stage, as with all first big mountain days will likely set the agenda for the rest of the race so is one not to be missed. Followed the next day by an uphill time trial to Peyragudes and another massive day of climbing on stage 14 to Superbagnères, the Pyrenees will certainly shake things up. There's one more stage in the south before the second rest day then week three kicks off with a visit to one of the most feared mountains in all of France, the legendary Mont Ventoux. Stage 17 is then thankfully flat before BANG, stages 18 and 19 are again both summit finishes on the Col de la Loze and La Plagne respectively. These two days, if it wasn't sorted long ago will decide the overall before the race heads into its final weekend with a lumpy stage to Pontarlier followed by the typical finish into Paris, which this year comes with a twist. After the success of the Paris Olympic road race which centred around the climb to Montmartre, instead of the normal laps of the Champs-Élysées, this year the final stage will include three of these vicious ascents which is sure to despatch the sprinters and set up the unpredictable finale the fans crave.

Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs, followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN. Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.
