Update: 2025-07-22
Description
Stage 16 of the Tour de France 2025 was all about the Giant of Provence—and it didn’t disappoint.
French climber Valentin Paret-Peintre stunned the favourites with a late surge to win atop Mont Ventoux, claiming his first Tour stage and sending the home crowd into raptures.
With 140 km of flat terrain before the final climb, the peloton stayed calm until chaos erupted on the slopes. 🚴♂️ Pogačar marked attacks but didn’t strike.
🔥 Vingegaard tried to shake things up.
🇫🇷 Paret-Peintre timed it perfectly. We break down the tactics, the pacing, and the pain of one of cycling’s most iconic ascents. Plus: GC updates, team strategies, and what this means heading into the Alps.
