Tour de France 2025: Teams and Riders

All of the best online betting sites have installed Tadej Pogacar as the clear favourite to win the Tour de France this year, following his third victory at the event 12 months ago. The 26-year-old is a 17-time stage winner, a three-time champion, and has been on a rampage leading up to La Grande Boucle. 

Behind UAE Team Emirates’ Pogaca, Visma’s Jonas Vingegaard is second in the latest betting odds, and he is expected to lead an experienced and well–drilled team that won all three Grand Tours in 2023 and helped Brit Simon Yates clinch this year’s Giro d’Italia at the start of last month.
