Tour de France 2025 stage 11 preview - An opportunity for the sprinters

The sprinters at the Tour de France .

The Tour de France will take its first rest day on July 15 and resume for stage 11 on July 16 for a 156km punchy race in Toulouse - a final opportunity for the sprinters ahead of the Pyrenees.

The stage will consist of a loop around the city, with a flurry of short climbs in the closing kilometres, the last of which comes with 8km to go in the form of the Côte de Pech David (0.8km at 12.4%).

Finishing in the city centre, it will be a fairly technical finale with a roundabout and a sweeping left turn before the final straight to the line, so positioning will be key in the run-in for those looking to contest the victory.

The race could mark a final opportunity for the sprinters before the Tour de France heads into the Pyrenees, so watch out for stage 8 winner Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek), who is leading the green-jersey points classification, and stage 3 and stage 9 winner Tim Merlier (Soudal-QuickStep), as the pair go head-to-head in the battle for sprint wins and finish line points.
