2025 Tour de France Nap Guide: Snoozing at the Right Time of the Stages

The riders of the ^112th edition of the Tour de France set off from Lille on Saturday, July 5, for a customary finish in Paris on July 27 – before the women's Tour takes over until August 3. July, even more so in these times of global warming, is synonymous with heat. But how can you enjoy a cool nap without missing Wout van Aert or Mathieu van der Poel's attack on the Côte de Mûr-de-Bretagne? Or Tadej Pogacar's passage in the mountainous time trial on July 18?

To help you organize your naps, we have examined the twenty-one stages to identify the predictable highlights (the sprints, the climbs, the ends of the stage, in short the difficulties) in order to allow you to plan a restorative nap, a virtuous practice ( including at the office ), it should be remembered.

Be careful, however, unfortunately, this upstream analysis work does not allow us to predict a glaring move launched by a Belgian team during a transition stage between Chinon and Châteauroux (July 13), on long straight lines. It is also impossible to anticipate a stage energized by the panache of a team looking to show off the jersey or even the attack 40 kilometers from the finish of a certain Slovenian rider for no apparent reason .

For each step, our application allows you to create a reminder to add to your calendar so you don't miss any highlights while optimizing your nap.
