The 12th stage of the 2025 Tour de France will finish on the Hautacam, a climb which played a central role in the 1996 Tour. 5x winner Miguel Indurain was the big favorite for the win, but the Spaniard's reign came to an end. Instead, Danish rider Bjarne Riis took control of the race. He dominated on the Hautacam, becoming the face of the EPO era.
