The Tour de France's organisers have revealed that they are not "crazy enough" to put cobbles in on stage one of the race in 2025, which is why they are absent from the route.
There was much speculation that the pavé of Paris-Roubaix would feature in the opening stages of the 2025 edition with the Grand Départ taking place in Lille, close to the sectors from the famous race. However, on Thursday, ASO, the Tour's organisers, revealed three routes which would not contain any pavé.
