The Tour de France makes a lot of people happy, but also a lot of disappointed people. It was enough to hear, this Thursday in Lille (North), Belgian journalists regret the absence of passage beyond Quiévrain of the Tour de France, which will nevertheless pass so close to the border in 2025. The Grande Boucle will in fact start from the Metropolis of Lille, July 5, 2025, for the first three stages exclusively through the departments of Nord and Pas-de-Calais. Three rather flat stages, apart from an explosive finale before Boulogne-sur-Mer for 2nd.
