Cycling star Gall plans title defense-an exciting comeback!

In 2025, big events for cycling are on the program, in particular with the return of the prestigious Tour de France. The Grand Départ will take place in the far north of France in the Lille region, as the renowned organizer ASO announced. This 112. Edition of the most important bike race in the world will reveal further details on the first stages on November 30th. After several starts abroad, including Copenhagen and the Basque Country, the race promises an exciting comeback in France. While the Tour de France will start in Florence in 2024, the final round will take place for the first time in Nice and not in Paris due to the Olympic Games, which faces new challenges.

Another important appointment in the racing calendar 2025 is the Tour of the Alps, which takes place from April 21 to 25 and the last two stages will be held in Austria. The Austrian cyclist Gall has already announced that he will take part in this competition. "It has a route profile that is very important to me," he said with a view to the event that ends in Lienz. For Gall, the Tour de France counts as the big highlight of its season, even if the exact details of its annual plan are still standing. The race becomes a test stone for his ambitions, after a solid but not perfect last year, in which the last percentage point was missing for top form. "I want to run races to win and really enjoy it," says Gall.

With a high training effort that will soon begin in Spain, Gall is preparing for his goals next year. "We will now train well for two weeks," he reported optimistically. His prospect of the 2025 racing season is clear: While he focuses on spring, the tension before the Tour de France already gives an idea of the challenges and triumph. The coming months will be crucial to implement his plans and to recapture the long sought success.
