Last year’s Tour concluded outside Paris for the first time since 1905 because of a scheduling conflict with the Olympics, with the final stage held in Nice. The Champs-Élysées returned this year for the conclusion of the 3,320-kilometer (2,060-mile) race.

The 26-year-old Slovenian is set to claim his fourth Tour de France in Paris on Sunday. He’s already the favorite to win his fifth next year.

Stage 21 of Tour de France 2025 brings revolutionary change to Paris finale with three Montmartre climbs. Pogačar set for fourth title as riders face cobbled challenge.

The penultimate stage winds through the Jura and Doubs regions and has four categorized climbs, including the Côte de Thésy (3.6 km at 8.9 percent). The final rolling 60 kilometers offer a strong opportunity for a breakaway group to hold off the peloton. This is unlikely to alter the GC standings unless something dramatic happens.

After three weeks of racing, the Tour delivers one last thrill on Sunday during its final stage, with a passage through Rue Lepic in Montmartre. This is a nod to last year's Paris Olympic road race, which saw incredible public enthusiasm.
