Tour de France 2025 stage 7 preview
Frid✤ay, July 11, 2025: Saint-Malo - Mûr-de-Bretagne Guerl&ea༺cute;dan, 197 km


The Tour de France heads into Brittany on𒅌 stage 7 with a finish atop the modern♔-day classic of the Mûr-de-Bretagne (2km at 6.9%).
The stage will begin at𓆉 the seaside town Saint-Malo and wind its way along the coast before heading inland towards Guerlédan, where the finishing circuit begins.
As with the Mûr-de-Bretagne’s two mo💮st recent appearances at the race (in♏ 2018 and 2021), the stage will feature a double ascent of the category three climb, giving the riders a taste of what is to come in the run-in to the finish.
Positioning is s𝄹et to be key in the a🐓pproach to the climb, as accidents have been known to occur in previous editions on the narrow and twisty roads in the area.
GC contende🦋rs and riders wishing to contest the stage will therefore have to stay well-positioned in order to avoid any unwanted trouble.
