Overview

• The 2025 route spans nine stages—one more than in 2024—and includes four mountain days that will push riders’ climbing abilities.
• Demi Vollering arrives as the clear favorite after losing last year’s title by four seconds and will rely on FDJ-Suez teammates Evita Muzic and Juliette Labous in the mountains.
• Pauline Ferrand-Prévot makes her first stage-race start since 2014 following altitude training and recovery from an ankle injury sustained at Strade Bianche.
• FDJ-Suez and Visma-Lease a Bike have assembled deep support rosters aimed at controlling race dynamics for their respective leaders.
• A record-deep field featuring Marlen Reusser, Elisa Longo Borghini, Lotte Kopecky and Anna van der Breggen highlights the growing competitiveness of women’s cycling.
