The final summit finish of the 2025 Tour de France, and the last stage guaranteed to see key action amongst the general classification in a jam-packed, but reduced distanced climbing stage. 

Both the Col du Pré and Cormet de Roseland are within range for a potential long-range attack, but it’s nearly certain we will see action of the summit finish to La Plagne. The final summit finish of the 2025 Tour de France stands at 19.1km long with an average gradient of 7.2%.

When should you tune in? 

• Col du Pré: 63.9km to go
• Cormet de Roseland: 51.4km to go  
• Last 20km featuring La Plagne

This stage presents the final opportunity in the major mountains to make a significant impact in the general classification.

It's at the point where it would take a significant problem or an off-day for Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) to be defeated, after Jonas Vingegaard's (Visma | Lease a Bike) best efforts. 

Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) occupies the final spot on the podium, but lost a big chunk of his advantage to his main rival, Oscar Onley (Picnic PostNL), who now only sits 22 seconds behind in fourth. Lipowitz's teammate, Primož Roglič (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe), sits in fifth and remains an outsider for the podium.

The last three mountain stages have been won by the breakaway, so will Pogačar be hungry to add a fifth stage win to his name at this Tour de France?

Tadej Pogačar leads the Tour by a handsome 4:26 over Jonas Vingegaard, who looks locked in second, with Florian Lipowitz narrowly holding a 22-second lead on the final podium spot over Oscar Onley. 

Jonathan Milan leads the points classification, Pogačar is in charge of the mountains classification, whilst Lipowitz remains in white but with increasing pressure from Onley.
