Stage 21 Thorny - Paris (130.0km)
The Tour is over. One final ceremonial champagne ride through Paris, and the celebrations can begin. Or… not quite! Once again, the ASO has chosen a spectacular loop through Paris including the Montmartre. On Sunday, the riders still face a total of 130 kilometers.
The approach to Paris will be leisurely, with the riders covering roughly fifty kilometers from Thoiry while chatting, taking photos, and joking with one another. With just under 80 kilometers remaining, the peloton enters Paris, and the racing truly begins.
The stage starts with three laps of 6.8 kilometers around and along the Champs-Élysées, followed by three more laps of a 16.7-kilometer finishing circuit. Each of these laps features the Côte de la Butte Montmartre (1.1 kilometers at 5.9%), with the final ascent coming 6.1 kilometers from the finish.
Whether there will be a sprint is still uncertain. In 2025—when Montmartre was first included in the Tour—the climb provided plenty of excitement. On a soaking wet course, five riders broke away from a leading group in the finale, with Wout van Aert managing to drop Tadej Pogačar. The Slovenian, however, secured the yellow jersey soon after.
