Tour de France, stage 9 today. Time, route, and where to watch it on free-to-air TV.

Tadej Pogacar still in the yellow jersey

The 2025 Tour de France returns to the road. Today, Sunday, July 13, the Grande Boucle features its ninth stage , a 174.1-kilometer route from Chinon to Châteauroux leading up to the mountain stages. Tadej Pogacar remains in the yellow jersey, while yesterday's stage was won in a sprint finish by Italian Jonathan Milan, marking the first time an Italian rider has won a Tour stage six years after his last. Here's the time, route, and where to watch today's stage on TV (including free-to-air) and streaming.

Tour de France, stage 9 route

The ninth stage of the 2025 Tour de France, taking place today, Sunday, July 13, will start, as mentioned, from Chinon to Châteauroux and presents few difficulties for road cyclists. It is an almost completely flat stage, with no categorized climbs, and serves as a transition, just like yesterday's, to the mountain stages earlier this week. It is therefore an opportunity for the sprinters, the big favorites, to cross the finish line first at the end of the 174.1-kilometer route. The riders will face a total elevation gain of approximately 1,400 meters.
