CLIMB SUMMARY

2025 TOUR DE FRANCE STAGE 12

Stage 12: Auch → Hautacam · 180.6 km · 3,850 m+

This is the first Pyrenean summit finish, so expect more fireworks. Most climbing is concentrated in the final 60 km, featuring the Col du Soulor and Col des Bordères before the savage 13.6 km Hautacam climb averaging 7.8 %, with pitches up to 11.4 % and a mile climbing at over 10 %.

Auch is a medieval marvel, with a UNESCO-listed Sainte‑Marie Cathedral, winding arcades and staircases (including the 374‑step D’Artagnan staircase) offering an atmospheric send‑off. Hautacam plunges upward from Argelès‑Gazost: about 13.6 km gaining 1 164 m at nearly 7.8 %.

The Col du Soulor and Col des Bordères, set before the finale, will already rattle legs. Once riders hit the Hair‑raising sections of Hautacam with sustained double-digit pitches, expect elite GC climbers like Vingegaard, Pogačar, or Evenepoel to make their move. KOM hunters like Poels or O’Connor could feature early, but on the final climb, only the strongest will count.

This stage promises major GC shifts. A dominant win here could see a new rider leap into yellow, or at least position themselves firmly in the race before the steep time trial tomorrow and then the queen stage of the Pyrenees.

Can Jonas win on the Hautacam again this year?

COMMENTS FROM RACE DIRECTOR CHRISTIAN PRUDHOMME - STAGE 12:

“Any day the Tour tackles the Pyrenees is always going to be significant. The battle between the favourites for the overall title will have greater magnitude today, particularly over the final 45 kilometres when the peloton initially tackles the Col du Soulor via Ferrières (11.9km at 7.3%), before advancing to the Col de Bordères. Then comes a real moment of truth in the shape of the 13.6km climb to Hautacam, where the gradient averages 7.8%.”  (Tour de France Stage 12).
