While the rain has won the hope of more than a dozen runners involved in a massive accident in the last kilometer of stage 17 of the Tour de France 2025, including the Eritrean superstar Biniam Girmay, the chaos only gave Jonathan Milan a lighter path to the green jersey of this year.
Milan continued to remove Jordi Meeus for his second victory for this year’s race – he also won scene 8 – and essentially locked the points race for this year, which was won by Girmay in 2024.
With only four stages remaining in the Tour de France 2025, the Paris final should be the only opportunity for Milan and the other sprinters to shine.
Despite all the escalation they did not do in stage 17 Wednesday, the runners of the Tour de France 2025 will compensate for stadium 18, which was tabulated as the most demanding stage of this year’s race and presents 5,500 meters of vertical gain.
If the title champion Tadej Pogacar can survive stage 18, a fourth TDF title will be tighter within reach.
Through step 17, Pogacar leads the double winner of the Jonas Vingegaard TDF of 4 minutes, 15 seconds, while Florian Lipowitz, in the white jersey as the best young driver, is third at 9 minutes, 3 seconds.
For viewers in Canada, the Flobikes coverage of stage 18 will start at 6 a.m. and should end around 12:05 p.m. Hae.

Who won stage 18 of the Tour de France in 2024?
The last person not appointed Tadej Pogacar to win a stage of the 2024 Tour de France was Victor Campenaerts, who did the work in scene 18 of 179.5 kilometers.
The Belgian rose to victory during a scene that did not attract all the attention of the main competitors of the GC, who were more focused on themselves to save himself for the last three stages of the race and for the overall victory. They even called a calm step 18 before a storm.
Campenaerts was part of a group that separated and its solid strategy helped him go to victory.
