The 2025 Tour de France will be headlined by 'the big four' in the battle for the yellow jersey, with the fight between Tadej Pogačar, Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič taking centre stage. However, right from the race for the Tour's first maillot jaune on the opening day in Lille, the Grand Tour will also host a titanic struggle among the sprinters.
The green jersey winners from the past three Tours – Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease A Bike), Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), and Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) – will all be lining up to race for stage wins and the points classification, along with many more sprinters who will be intent on making their mark on the world's biggest cycling stage. They include the likes of Tim Merlier (Soudal-QuickStep) and Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek), as well as a wealth of outsiders.
