Tour of the Alps 2025 race preview

The 48th edition of the Tour of the Alps is one of the most mountainous races on the whole calendar climbing a gargantuan 14,700 metres over the 739 kilometre route. Of the five stages the first four are all classed as ‘mountain stages’ with only the final short stage around Leinz afforded the lesser title of ‘Hilly’

Starting in San Lorenzo Dorsino in Italy the race heads in a north easterly direction to conclude in Austria after crossing multiple peaks each day with the toughest test coming on stage two, the 178 kilometres from Mezzolombardo to Sterzing.

Favourites for the overall win will be 2023 victor Tao Geoghegan Hart (Lidl – Trek) keen to get his season back on track after recent illness together with Aussie Jai Hindley (Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe) and the young British rider Max Poole (Team Picnic PostNL). Other riders to keep an eye on will be Paul Double (Team Jayco AlUla), Derek Gee (Israel – Premier Tech) and Geoghegan Hart’s team mate Giulio Ciccone (Lidl – Trek).
