Tour de France 2025 route in ultramarathon style = in one go with only short breaks for sleep, without a support team.
This year's TdF covers a total of 3,339 km with an elevation gain of 51,550 m. But my story will be not only about 21 stages... I will also rely on my legs and bike when crossing between stages. The distance of the entire project will therefore increase by more than 2,700 km and will thus exceed 6,050 km!
The Ultra Tour will also be an exciting race against time. I will try to start at a similar time to the professional Tour de France peloton and reach the finish on the Champs-Élysées before it if possible. To avoid closures on the route, I will switch the order of the first stages and start not in the first, but in the third stage.
