TOUR DE FRANCE 2025
[Montmartre Highlights]
After a brief detour to Nice in 2024 – a necessary shift due to the Paris Olympics – the Tour de France 2025 returned to its spiritual home: the Champs-Élysées. But this wasn’t just a traditional finale. In a nod to the unforgettable Olympic road races, the organizers spiced things up with three gritty laps up the Montmartre hill.

Rue Lepic, which had already earned its place in cycling folklore during last year's Olympic showdown, once again turned into a tunnel of noise and color. Thousands of fans packed into its narrow bends, echoing chants and cowbells as the world's best climbers danced their way uphill.

We managed to grab a prime spot amid the chaos to snap some shots – including the decisive moment when Wout Van Aert launched a blistering attack on Tadej Pogačar. That move not only sealed his Stage 21 victory but also ended a three-year drought at the Tour. Pure drama.

Also worth noting – the peloton is getting a serious style upgrade. With more independent cycling brands stepping into the spotlight (some even showing up at Paris Fashion Week), it’s cool to see names like MAAP outfitting Team Jayco AlUla and Rapha continuing their swan song season with EF Education–EasyPost. Aussie freshness meets British legacy – right in the heart of the sport.

Dive into our quick photo report below and relive the Rue Lepic madness from one of the most atmospheric stages in recent memory.
Paris feels like the beating heart of cycling right now – whether it's the roaring crowds on Montmartre at the Tour’s grand finale or the stylish energy of Paris Fashion Week, where performance meets culture in the city where cycling itself took root.

We’re here for every moment of it.
