Live report recap: Tour de France - Stage 9
Tour de France - Stage 9
Stage 9 of the 2025 Tour de France covers 174.1 kilometres from Chinon to Châteauroux. With 1,341 metres of elevation and a wide finishing straight, it’s a day made for a straightforward bunch sprint, but only if the wind doesn’t interfere. Forecasts predict gusts of up to 30 km/h in the final 40 kilometres, and with several exposed sections along the route, echelons remain a possibility. The stage starts at 13:25 CET and is expected to finish around 17:07 CET. Follow every moment of stage 9 with our live coverage and real-time race updates.
