Tour de France 2025 Route stage 11: Toulouse - Toulouse

Slideshow 1/5

Wednesday, 16 July – The riders can ease back into racing during the 11th stage of the Tour de France. The route after the first rest day is just 154 kilometres long and predominantly flat, although the finale holds two small surprises up its sleeve.

Sometimes, the riders are tested after a rest day, but this time they are offered a gentle way to get back into action. The sprinters and their teams will be the only ones with big plans for the race around Toulouse.

There’s a catch, though, as the route is not entirely flat. The Côte de Castelnau-d’Estrétefonds (1.5-kilometre at 6%) won’t do any harm, as it appears early on, but the Côte de Vieille-Tououse may pose a slightly bigger challenge as the 1.5-kilometre hill at 6.7% is crested with 14 kilometres to go. Moreover, the Montée Pech David follows promptly with 900 metres at 9.1%.

The riders then fly downhill for a flat 7-kilometre run-in to the finish line on Boulevard Lascrosses.

The Tour de France last visited Toulouse in 2019. Back then, Caleb Ewan outgunned Dylan Groenewegen in a photo-finish sprint.
