The seventh stage of the 2025 Tour de France gets underway at 12:25 local time (CET), with the finish expected around 16:39 CET at the earliest.
Stage 7 measures 197 kilometres starting in Saint-Malo and finishing in Mur-de-Bretagne after two ascents of the town's iconic climb (2km at 6.9%), which is known as 'The Alpe d'Huez of Brittany'.
Van der Poel won and took the yellow jersey there four years ago, and he returns in yellow this time, with a stage win already in the bag. Three-time Tour winner Tadej Pogačar will also surely fancy his chances on the short sharp finishing climb.

Most streaming platforms have geo-restrictions these days, which means they only work in certain countries. But being locked out of the races is a thing of the past thanks to a VPN.
