Tour de France stage 10 profile

The race continues onto its tenth stage without a rest day for the first time since 2019. The explanation for this is that the stage takes place on Bastille Day, France’s national holiday, a day that can not be missed in the Tour de France.

Consequently, expect fireworks on this fascinatingly designed stage in the Massif Central, a region which always delivers exciting racing at the Tour de France. There is hardly a metre of flat road packed into 165.3 kilometres and 4,400 metres of elevation gain, including seven second-categorised climbs.

The stage finishes on Le Mont-Dore, a 3.3 kilometre climb that averages a vicious 8%. Whether or not this is a stage for the breakaway, there is still likely to be GC action also. 

This is a day that you do not want to miss, and you can read our preview for stage 10 here.

What to expect?

Will we see the first French hero on Bastille Day since 2017, when Warren Barguil won an epic short stage in Foix in the polka dot jersey?

The likes of Lenny Martinez, Kévin Vauquelin, Romain Grégoire and Alex Baudin have all looked good in the opening nine stages of racing and could be contenders to break the French drought on their national holiday and also become the first home stage winner of the 2025 Tour.

From the GC perspective, this stage could likely see some significant gaps created in the GC, with Tadej Pogačar currently sitting pretty at the top of the general classification standings with a solid lead over Jonas Vingegaard in 4th at 1:17.
