2025 Women's Tour de France: Tricky roads, hills to spice things up... what you need to know about Stage 2
The peloton will continue its journey through Brittany during this second stage of the women's Tour de France, covering a 110.4 km route. The day's profile could be ideal for a punchier rider.
Stage length: 110.4 km
This second stage in Brittany promises to be tricky from the start, putting the peloton to the test with a series of climbs and descents. If a breakaway doesn't emerge, it's a day where the punchers will have their say.
"After following the coast and crossing Châteaulin, a cycling hotspot, the peloton will come up against the Menez Quelerc'h (3 km at 6.2%). Via Locronan, this 100% Finistère stage will then lead to Quimper for a fairly flat loop spiced with two hills, with the finish line at the top of the second. The winner of the day will definitely have been able to combine resistance and power," assures Marion Rousse , the director of the women's Tour de France.
The fictitious departure is at 12:10 p.m.
Arrival is expected at 3:11 p.m. (average speed of 41 km/h).
