In terms of distance, the Tour is past the halfway mark, but this week they move into the real mountain stages and it’s nearly time for the GC riders to come out and play. Courtesy of ASO, here’s a look back at some of the best images from the opening 10 days of the 2025 Tour de France.
The opening stage and the peloton rolls through the streets of Lille before the 184,9km, out and back loop.From kilometer zero, the GC teams have been ever-present at the front, shielding their leaders.Jasper Philipsen took the opening stage and was awarded the first yellow jersey of this year’s Tour.Moody skies.It’s Northern France and the weather rolls in — yet the racing continues.Fastest man in the race? The experts say it’s Tim Merlier, let’s see if he uses that sprint-speed to rack up multiple stage wins.Stage 5, van der Poel is in Yellow and just about everyone on the planet is okay with that.The Boss.Wearing the Green Jersey, Jonathan Milan takes the eighth stage and thanks teammate Jasper Stuyven for the big pull to the finish.The French are proud of this race and take every possible opportunity to celebrate it.The throw for the line – the timing of it takes years to perfect.Massive skills required to pedal with that kind of a cockpit.Tadej toys with Jonas who is having none of it this year, so far… Everything you can do, I can do too…Wout and Visma are all-in for Jonas and the GC.Ouch.Despite a horrendous crash in winter, the Olympic Champ is in fine form.Whissh!!!!Salty.Mandatory shot.Everything is aero – socks, helmets, skinsuits, bottles — you name it, it’s aero. #MarginalGainsBen Healy champions the breakaway, doing most of the work and it paid off with a Yellow Jersey.The Pyrenees await.Vive Le Tour!
