Like all of France, Lille was suffocated. But now the tour presents itself and, almost in a miracle, the rain has started to refresh the streets. The large loop as an anti-cany weapon? We are kidding but a big start from Tour de France, it’s like a breath of fresh air. A wind of madness will surge on the capital of Flanders.
This Thursday, the 184 runners from the Tour de France 2025 will parade on the Grand-Place, which began to flop in the colors of the Grande Boucle. Tens of thousands of people are expected to cheer the road convicts that will start for 3,339 km and 21 stages, from July 5 to 27.
