Hours before the Tour de France peloton was due to pass through Montmartre on Sunday, thousands of fans packed the streets, eager to claim a prime spot to watch riders climb the iconic hill during the final stage of the race.

Slovenian star Tadej Pogacar led the peloton on a novel route up Montmartre and past the Sacré-Cœur en route to winning the Tour de France for the fourth time. Germany's Florian Lipowitz finished third in the race.

The final stage at Tour de France 2025 mixed things up by changing the circuit and instead of the traditional fat sprint through Paris, it included a climb to Montmartre. This change was met with a mixed reaction from cyclists, but Tour de France considered a great success and might repeat it in the future.
