Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates-XRG faces his biggest rival, Jonas Vingegaard of Visma-Lease a Bike, during the 2025 Tour de France at iconic mountain locations.
Christian Allen (U.S.) opened a near-immediate gap on the field at the start and ran alone for nearly all of the race's first half. Eli Hemming (U.S.) and Rémi Bonnet (Switzerland) formed a strong initial chase pack that thinned to just them 90 minutes into the race.
