Tour de France 2025 - Prediction stage 10

Monday July 14th 2025: Stage 10 - Ennezat – Le Mont-Dore (165.3 km, hilly top finish)

After a series of flat and hilly stages, the peloton faces the first real mountain stage of this Tour in the tenth stage. The route runs from Ennezat to Le Mont-Dore, deep in the Massif Central. This area is known for its rugged landscape, extinct volcanoes and unpredictable weather conditions. The course includes several long climbs, including the Col de la Croix-Morand (8.8 km at 6.4%) and the Col de la Croix-Saint-Robert (6.5 km at 6.2%). Both climbs are not extremely steep, but due to their length and the pace in the peloton, they can make the difference.

The final climb to Le Mont-Dore is long and irregular, with sections that climb up to 8%. This is where the GC riders will have to show their skills for the first time. The approach to the final climb is narrow and winding, making positioning crucial. Attackers will have a chance on this terrain, but the favourites for the yellow jersey will not give much room. The weather can be an extra factor: fog, rain or even cold are no exception here. The finish is at an altitude of over 1,200 meters, which makes the climb extra tough. This stage will really set the classification in motion for the first time and make the first differences between the favorites visible.
