Tour of Britain Men 2025: Remco Evenepoel to Compete, Aiming for World Championship Glory
The Tour of Britain Men, scheduled from September 2 to 7, 2025, will see the participation of cycling sensation Remco Evenepoel. This year's edition of the race, which will start in Woodbridge, Suffolk and finish in Cardiff, promises to be an exciting one with three punchy finishes and no time trials [1].
Evenepoel, currently riding for Soudal Quick-Step, has announced his post-Tour of Britain schedule. He plans to compete in the World Championship time trial and road race in Rwanda later in September 2025. His primary goal is to defend his time trial rainbow jersey and attempt to reclaim the road race world title [2].
This ambitious schedule follows a challenging 2025 season for Evenepoel, who had to withdraw from the Tour de France and recover from a December 2024 accident [3]. The Tour of Britain will mark one of his last appearances with Soudal Quick-Step before his move to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe in 2026 [4].
Notably, Geraint Thomas, another renowned cyclist, will also participate in the Tour of Britain Men. This race will mark the final competition of Thomas's long and illustrious career [5]. In Cardiff, during the final stage, Thomas will be honoured in his home town.
Fans eager to catch a glimpse of the Olympic champion can now plan their attendance at the Tour of Britain Men. Evenepoel's participation in the race has been confirmed by his team, Soudal Quick-Step [6].
Last year, Evenepoel attended the Tour of Britain Men but struggled in the cooler conditions of the UK. To prepare for this year's race, he spent a month training in Spain [7].
The full route for the Tour of Britain Men has been revealed this week, promising a thrilling and challenging course for the competitors [8]. With three punchy finishes and the participation of top cyclists like Evenepoel and Thomas, the 2025 Tour of Britain Men is shaping up to be an unmissable event.
