The course of the nineteenth stage, shortcut of 35 kilometers but full-bodied

The announcement fell the day before. at the end of the evening: the layout of the 19^e Stage from the Tour de France 2025, between Albertville and course nineteenth stage, shortcut 35 La Plagne (Savoie), Friday July 25, was planed by almost 35 kilometers and the delayed departure of one hour, at 2:45 pm for the real. There “Discovery. within a herd located precisely in the collar of the seizures of a contagious nodular dermatosis home affecting cattle [qui] must lead to the slaughter of animals ”specify the organizers of the test, is at the origin of this decision – the latter anticipants a demonstration of the breeders. Initially, the peloton had to perform 129.9 kilometers to reach the Plagne ski resort. The runners will therefore not cross the seizure collar (13.7 kilometers at 6.4 %, 1^re category) and will join the initial route to Beaufort, for a total brought back to 95 kilometers.

The distance is relatively short for the runners of the large loop. but the concentration of difficulties on the entire route, until the final ascent, makes this step particularly full -bodied. This day is one of the last opportunities to shake up the general classification and that of the best climber.

On the roads of Savoy. the peloton will have little time to observe the magnificent alpine landscapes, especially near Beaufort, Lake Roselend and on the mountain side in the Col du Pré (12.6 kilometers at 7.7 %, excluding category). After the passage of the Cormet de Roselend (5.9 kilometers at 7.7 %, 2^e Category), a long descent of more than 20 kilometers awaits the runners, before the formidable final ascent to course nineteenth stage, shortcut 35 La Plagne (19.1 kilometers at 7.2 %, excluding category), last arrival at the top of this 2025 edition.

Many points will be distributed as part of the ranking of the best climber to those who will cross the various difficulties in mind. and 10, 6 and 4 seconds of bonus await the first three of the stage.
