The 2025 Tour de France live stream will see the planet's best riders take on a daunting 3,338.8 km over 21 days. And if the pundits and bookies are to be trusted, Tadej Pogačar will be stood in Paris at the end of it wearing the Yellow Jersey and holding the Coupe Omnisports aloft for a fourth time.

The sensational Slovenian has the chance to join an elite list of five other riders who have won four or more Tours – and all at the age of 26. He's been in intimidating form this season, too, winning six UCI World Tour events (including the Strade Bianche, Tour of Flanders and Critérium du Dauphiné) and dominating the world rankings.

If he can be stopped, Danish two-time champion Jonas Vingegaard certainly has the muscle memory to topple him. Portuguese rider and Pogačar's teammate João Almeida has been one of the form men of the season, most recently taking victory at the Tour de Suisse. And the likes of Remco Evenepoel, Primož Roglič and Carlos Rodriguez are never too far from the conversation.
