Some eye-catching things to look out for this July during the 112th edition of the #TDF2025 - including a climb named after the first five-time champion, Cavendish City, two sets of twins, Montmartre on the final day & a 50th finish on the Champs-Elysees. tntsports.co.uk/cycling/tour-d…

Fantastic new #TDF2025 kits for Red Bull-Bora Hansgrohe and Israel-Premier Tech. The Groupama-FDJ one is not bad, either. But that mess from Ineos Grenadiers... what were they thinking? Zero Energies has gone into that Total trainwreck of a pain(t)stripped jersey.

Some gritty urban #TourSwimmingPools in northern France. Either that or they're blue tarpaulins covering up sink holes above the mines beneath Lens...

It appears that TNT/Discovery aren't offering the ad-free option for #TDF2025 coverage, unlike the Giro. Or am I missing something?

The kind of place we all, deep down, hope is just around the corner when we go on holiday in France... #TourSwimmingPools #TDF2025

Codifis tactics at this #TDF2025 seem to be to cause as many crashes as possible while sprinting for minor gains, such as intermediate sprints or solitary KOM points on Cat.4 climbs. Have to feel for Philipsen, there. Race over.

All-in for Kaden Groves now. Most neutrals would love to see him win stage 3 in Dunkirk after his Alpecin-Deceuninck team-mate Philipsen got so cruelly KO'ed there #TDF2025

Merlier vs Milan? 🥇🥈 With Girmay vs Groves for 🥉? #TDF2025

Tim Wellens saving Bryan Coquard and/or Laurens Rex the ignominy of winning the day's combativity prize? #TDF2025

Hope someone has forwarded this onto the Cofidis team bus. Roglic and Remco should take note, too.

We all love a bit of #TourFieldArt even though these efforts are a bit half-hearted... 4/10 #TDF2025

First sighting of a faux-Tudor chateau on the #TDF2025 - and I think that's an entry for the #TourSwimmingPools canon, even though the covers are still on... Nice hydrangeas, too. And a bonus point for an ivy-clad turret. 7/10 #ChateauWatch

Unlikely to find a more scenic #TourSwimmingPools entry during the #TDF2025 visit through Normandy. I'll add Gerberoy to my list of places-to-visit-when-on-holiday-in-France - a list which gets longer and longer each July.

It's hard to pick out here, but there's a green moat surrounding the entire chateau here. Probably not swimmable - unless for the bog-snorkling championships - but a nice touch all the same. 5.5/10 #ChateauWatch #TDF2025

Technically, temporary paddling pool structures shouldn't really count - especially ones so close to the road. But let's be lenient and call this a #TourSwimmingPools double.

🏰Chateau!🏰 Considered a cutting-edge example of military architecture in its day, the Château-Gaillard was apparently constructed by Richard the Lionheart in record time. Nice views of the Seine, too. 7/10 #ChateauWatch #TDF2025

🚨🏰🏊‍♂️🇫🇷 It's early days but this could prove the winner of the entire Tour. It's not often that you see a chateau-pool combo of such class and superiority as this... 9/10 #ChateauWatch #TourSwimmingPools #TDF2025

🏰Chateau!🏰 I'm reliably informed that the wine cellar is a bit leaky but you can go fishing from the comfort of your bedroom, so swings and roundabouts... 7.5/10 #ChateauWatch #TDF2025
