Tour de France general classification to be neutralised 50 km from end of stage 21
About 100 km from the end of the 2025 Tour de France, news broke that the general classification times would be taken at the fourth passage of the finish line, 50.3 km from the finish, due to the forecast rain that was already falling on the riders about to pass the Palace of Versailles.
The final stage of the 2025 Tour was always set to be more complicated than a typical Paris finale given its three visits to the Butte Montmartre. The addition not only opened up the kind of rider capable of winning on the Champs-Élysées, but threw doubt into the GC race with the chance of time being taken or lost on the more-than-usually technical run-in.
