112th Tour de France Betting
The 112th edition of the Tour de France will live up to its name in 2025 with the entire race taking place inside the borders of France for the first time since 2020. Last year, to avoid a conflict with the Paris Olympics and to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Italian Ottavio Bottecchia’s win the route changed significantly. The start of the race, or the Grand Depart, took place in Italy. That didn’t alter the outcome, though, as Tadej Pogacar won the general classification for the third time in five years. Widely viewed as the biggest cycling race in the world, the Tour de France will have 184 of the best cyclists in the world competing over 3,333.8 kilometers (2,074.6 miles).
The race has been dominated by two riders over the past half decade with Pogacar winning three times and Jonas Vingegaard winning twice. So I guess it isn’t much of a surprise to see them both at the top of the odds board for the 2025 Tour de France. Vingegaard was runner-up in both 2021 and 2024, and in the races he won Pogacar placed second. After a third-place finish in his Tour de France debut last year, Remco Evenepoel is a distant third on the odds board.

Tour de France Format
The 2025 Tour de France route is considered to be broken into two halves. The first 10 stages consist of flat and hilly stages with mountainous stages making up most of the back half. British cycling magazine Rouleur called the climbing in the second half of the race “relentless.” The final stage returns to a more traditional finish on the Champs-Elysees.

The Tour de France has had a history of streaks. Miguel Indurain captured the Tour de France five straight years from 1991 through 1995. Prior to that, Jacques Anquetil won the Tour four years in a row from 1961 through 1964, a mark matched by Eddy Merckx from 1969 through 1972. Recently, Chris Froome became the sixth man in the history of this race to three-peat and Tadej Pogacar can join an exclusive club of riders to win four Tour de France races with his fourth triumph in five years.

Officially, the men with the most wins in the history of the Tour de France are Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, and Miguel Indurain. All four of those riders have a total of five Tour de France titles to their name.
Of course, many will still claim that Lance Armstrong is the most successful cyclist in the history of the Tour de France. Armstrong won seven straight Tour de France titles from 1999 to 2005 before finally admitting to doping and having all of those championships voided. Contemporaries Floyd Landis, Alberto Contador, and Jan Ullrich were all busted for doping too, casting a huge cloud over cycling.
