3 d. ago Tour de France 2025: stage one sets battle for yellow jersey around Lille – live

Le Grand Départ, starting and ending at Lille MétropoleAny comments or thoughts? Feel free to email AmyMy colleague Jeremy Whittle has written about Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard’s rivalry – sure to be a key theme again at this year’s TdF:The pair, whose rivalry is becoming one of the Tour’s most longstanding, will be locked in battle again this month with Pogačar widely expected to hammer home the supremacy of the past 18 months with another win.A lot can happen in such a long race, but I’m looking forward to racing against Jonas again.
