2025 TOUR DE FRANCE STAGE 21
Stage 21: Mantes-la-Ville → Paris Champs‑Élysées · 132.3 km · ≈ 850 m+
After a year away in Nice (due to the Paris Olympics), our grand finale returns in style, but with a twist. Riders take off from Mantes-la-Ville, ride into Paris, climb Côte de la Butte Montmartre (1.1 km at 5.9%) three times, before finishing with laps on the Champs‑Élysées. Stage 21 is a great mix of celebration for the riders who’ve made it through an entire Tour, and one last chance at glory for the sprinters!

Mantes-la-Ville offers a calm suburban start before the ceremonial entry into Paris. The controversial addition of the Butte Montmartre adds strategic spice, it having decided the Olympic battle in 2024 . With modest elevation, this stage usually ends in a high-speed sprint. But multiple ascents of Montmartre inject unpredictability that could shake up the finish and add tension.

Sprint teams will still dominate the finale, but aggressive riders may use Montmartre attacks to spoil the show. Green jersey contenders will fight for points early, but pride and tradition define this last day. Expect a spectacular showdown with the final sprint under the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs‑Élysées.

COMMENTS FROM RACE DIRECTOR CHRISTIAN PRUDHOMME - STAGE 21:
“A return to both tradition and to the Champs-Élysées... after Nice stepped in for the capital during the Olympics last summer, the Tour will return to Paris. And we’ll be celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of both the first finish on the Champs-Élysées and Bernard Thévenet’s first overall victory. That was in 1975. Happy anniversary!” (Tour de France Stage 21).
