Winners of the Famous Tour de France

On Sunday, July 27th, 2025, the Tour de France ended in Paris. The winner was Tadej Pogačar for the men’s race.

Tour de France is a national cycling race that takes place in France and lasts approximately. 3 weeks. There are 21 stages that can be flat stages, hilly stages, mountain stages, or time stages. These stages are to test the rider’s skill and endurance.

Each stage can have a different winner, with the winner wearing a yellow shirt to symbolize that.

The bikers work in teams. By working together, the bikers can help each other out. Usually, every team has a leader, and the other members will work together to help the leader win. Such examples are: A biker going as fast as they can to get a good time, or a biker going in the front to protect the others from the wind.

This year, the men’s tour covered 2,052 miles (3,302 kilometers). Tadej Pogačar, a 26-year-old athlete from Slovenia, finished the race with a winning time of 76 hours and 32 seconds. He has also won Tour de France 3 other times before that, in 2020, 2021, and 2024.

Pogačar is now tied with the United Kingdom’s Chris Froome. But five cyclists in history have won the Tour five times. Pogačar is most likely hoping to win next year’s Tour de France to become the 6th cyclist in history to have won it 5 times, as he has to win once more to have 5 wins.

The women’s Tour de France is a 9-stage race, instead of a 21-stage race like the men’s.And for this year, the women’s race covered 1,165 kilometers (approx. 724 miles); the winner was Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, a 33-year-old. This is her first time at the Tour de France, and she won 2 stages. In the final race, her winning total was 29 hours, 54 minutes, and 24 seconds.

Next year, the Tour de France will begin with a team time trial , the first time the race has started with this format since 2019. The 19.7-kilometer course will showcase Barcelona’s iconic Sagrada Família and finish at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium.

This will be the third time the Tour has started in Spain, following San Sebastián (1992) and Bilbao (2023).
