Luxembourg 17 Sep – 21 Sep 2025 Class 2.Pro – Stages – UCI ProSeries

The Tour de Luxembourg, officially known as the Škoda Tour de Luxembourg since 2005, is a historic road cycling stage race that has been held almost annually since 1935. It is known for its hilly, punchy courses that often favor strong all-rounders.

Here is a look back at some of the key aspects and recent winners:

Key Historical Highlights

Most Victories: The record for the most overall victories belongs to Luxembourgish rider Mathias Clemens, who won the race five times between 1935 and 1947.
National Dominance: For much of its early history (until the early 1980s), the race was predominantly won by riders from Luxembourg, Belgium, France, and the Netherlands, including Luxembourg cycling legend Charly Gaul with three wins (1956, 1959, 1961).
Notable Past Winners: The winners list includes many famous names in cycling, such as Louison Bobet (1955), Bernard Hinault (1982), Frank Vandenbroucke (1997), and more recently, Greg Van Avermaet (2017).
Race Classification: The Tour de Luxembourg was upgraded to the UCI ProSeries in 2020, positioning it in the second tier of professional road cycling events.

Recent Overall Winners (General Classification)

The recent editions have featured strong competition and diverse winners:

2025: Brandon McNulty (USA)
2024: Antonio Tiberi (ITA)
2023: Marc Hirschi (SUI)
2022: Mattias Skjelmose Jensen (DEN)
2021: João Almeida (POR)
2020: Diego Ulissi (ITA)

The modern iteration of the race is often decided by a combination of challenging, short climbs, a technical individual time trial, and the battle for time bonuses on the finish lines.
