The Tour de France 2024, the 111th edition of world’s most prestigious cycling race, took place from 29 June until 21 July.

All eyes are on the duel between Slovenian rider Tadej Pogacar and 2023 champion Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark, who had won the last four titles between them with each aiming to win a third Tour de France.

Ultimately, Pogacar triumphed easily, winning by a margin of 6 minutes 17 seconds.

The 2024 Tour was the first edition beginning in Italy , marking 100 years since Ottavio Bottecchia became the first Italian winner of the Tour de France, with the 'Grand Départ' taking place in Florence . This was also the first Tour to finish outside of Paris, due to its proximity to the Olympic Games Paris 2024, with the final stage an individual time trial from Monaco to Nice .

Sunday 21 July: Stage 21, Monaco - Nice (33.7 km) - Pogacar wins final time trial and sixth stage of Tour to seal third title

Tadej Pogacar put the cherry on top of his third Tour de France win by securing final-stage honours in the individual time trial from Monaco to Nice.

Already all but guaranteed the overall win on account of his over-five-minute lead on second-placed Jonas Vingegaard , the Slovenian asserted his dominance by adding over a minute on Vingegaard as the top three general classification riders also finished one-two-three on the stage.

Remco Evenepoel , the white jersey as the best young rider, was third.

Pogacar's final winning margin of 6 minutes 14 seconds overall was the biggest of his three wins. In 2020, he beat Primoz Roglic by 59 seconds before beating Vingegaard by 5:20 in 2021.

It also completed the Giro d'Italia–Tour de France double of Grand Tour titles for Pogacar, who became the first to achieve the feat since Marco Pantani in 1998. The Slovenian also became the first man to win six or more stages in a single Tour de France since Bernard Hinault in 1977.

Richard Carapaz won the Tour's polka dot jersey for the mountains classification, while Biniam Girmay won the green points jersey as the best sprinter.

Saturday 20 July: Stage 20, Nice - Col de la Couillole (132.8 km) - Pogacar wins again to assert dominance

The Tour de France reached its finish city for 2024, Nice, for the start of the penultimate stage of this year's Tour, a mountainous trek to the Couillole that featured four categorised climbs and 4600m of climbing.

Polka dot jersey winner Richard Carapaz – the Ecuadorian confirmed his hold of the mountains classification on this stage – and Enric Mas were clear at the front as the race hit the final climb up the Couillole.

But, once more, the imperious overall leader Tadej Pogacar attacked, with his nearest general classification rival Jonas Vingegaard following. Carapaz and Mas were caught with 2.5km of the climb left, the pair having seen a 20-second lead evaporate in just 1km of racing.

Carapaz managed to hang on with Pogacar and Vingegaard until the final kilometre, when he finally let them go; Pogacar then attacked Vingegaard with the finish line in sight to win by seven seconds and extend his overall lead even further with just Sunday's individual time trial from Monaco to Nice remaining.

Yellow jersey Tadej Pogacar attacked the general classification group on the final climb up to the finish line on Isola 2000 in an impressive show of strength, catching the day's breakaway with under 2km to the line.

Simon Yates of Jayco-AlUla and Visma Lease A Bike's Matteo Jorgenson had been ahead of him on the ascent of Isola 2000, but the Slovenian caught first Yates, then Jorgensen with just 1.9km to go.

The GC riders behind him were left behind the move, with Remco Evenepoel the first of his overall challengers to finish, coming home 1:42 behind the winner alongside Jonas Vingegaard .

Vingegaard, second overall in the standings, is now over five minutes behind Pogacar.

• Thursday 18 July: Stage 18 - Gap - Barcelonnette (179.5 km)

In the last stage before two mountain tests and the final individual time trial, Victor Campenaerts won a three-man sprint for a well-deserved first stage triumph in the Tour de France.

The Belgian was in a 30-man breakaway just 25km into proceedings. Wednesday's winner Richard Carapaz was also near the front as the group became gradually whittled down approaching the business end.

With 35km to go, Campenaerts broke clear with Matteo Vercher and Michal Kwiatkowski . And it was Campanaerts - who was named the Tour's most combative rider last year after several ultimately fruitless attacks - who had the legs to cross the line first. He revealed afterwards that when he saw the race route back in December, this Stage 18 was the only one where he felt he had a chance.

Green jersey leader Biniam Girmay required medical attention again during the stage following his crash on Tuesday but came home near the back of the field. Tobias Johannessen , who crashed when trying to catch the lead trio, managed to finish in the chase pack despite being visibly in pain.

The peloton, including race leader Tadej Pogacar and defending champion Jonas Vingegaard , finished more than 13 minutes back with no change in the top 10 of the general classification.

After a couple of failed attacks earlier in the race, Olympic road race champion Richard Carapaz became the first Ecuadorian to win a stage on the Tour de France.

The peloton split with around 60km to go, before Simon Yates attacked on the ascent of the Category 1 Col du Noyer. Carapaz soon joined him, and pulled clear before the summit on the way to victory on the day.

Tadej Pogacar attacked on the Col du Noyer to try and gain some more seconds on nearest general classification rival Jonas Vingegaard , but Remco Evenepoel made up time on both on the final short climb to Superdévoluy**.** Pogacar outsprinted reigning champion Vingegaard to extend his overall lead to three minutes and 11 seconds.

The Belgian closed the gap in the points classification to green jersey leader Biniam Girmay who fell just over a kilometre from home and had to be checked over by the medical team.

• Sunday 14 July: Stage 15 - Loudenvielle - Plateau de Beille (198 km)

There was to be no home winner on Bastille Day as Tadej Pogacar produced another climbing masterclass to strengthen his grip on the yellow jersey.

For the second time in three stages, Richard Carapaz and Tobias Johannessen were involved in a late breakaway but this time they had Enric Mas for company. The trio were soon reeled in as Jonas Vingegaard attacked from the front of the yellow jersey group with only Pogacar able to go with him.

Carapaz stayed out longest but was passed by the two general classification leaders with Remco Evenepoel next to catch the reigning Olympic road race champion from Ecuador.

At the front, Pogacar made his move with just over 5km to go and quickly put daylight between him and the defending champion. He finished more than a minute clear of his nearest rival to extend his lead to over three minutes going into Monday's rest day.

Ben Healy had made a solo attack from the breakaway at the front, but Pogacar’s lieutenant Adam Yates made his move with 7.5km to go. Pogacar soon followed suit with the Team UAE Emirates pair flying past the Irishman.

The Slovenian moved clear at the front with his yellow jersey rivals Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard trying to keep pace. The reigning champion managed to drop Evenepoel, but still lost 39 seconds on Pogacar who secured his second stage win of this year’s race.

Vingegaard crossed the line 31 seconds ahead of the Belgian to take second place overall. Carlos Rodriguez was fourth on the day ahead of Giulio Ciccone .

After a four-man breakaway had been reeled in by the peloton 70km from the finish, Olympic road race champion Richard Carapaz and Tobias Johannessen attacked with 40km to go on the Cote de Blachon.

Having established a lead of over 20 seconds, the pair were caught with Lotto Dstny leading the chase. And after a couple of failed break attempts, it turned into another stage for the sprinters. Wout van Aert looked to have the perfect lead-out, but fellow Belgian Jasper Philipsen got first run and just held on for his second stage win of the race. Pascal Ackermaan was third ahead of Biniam Girmay .

The main contenders all finished safely in the peloton with Tadej Pogaca r staying over a minute clear of Remco Evenepoel in the general classification with defending champion Jonas Vingegaard just behind.

Monday 1 July: Stage 3 - Biniam Girmay makes history in Turin sprint

Eritrea's Biniam Girmay , already the first black African cyclist to win a stage at a Grand Tour, became the first black African to triumph on the Tour when he won a close sprint in Turin at the end of a flat 231km stage that began in Piacenza.

The sprint was without hot favourite Jasper Philipsen , the Belgian crashing with just over 2km to the finish. Philipsen was already without teammate Mathieu van der Poel, the victim of a puncture just minutes earlier.

In the end, Biniam outsprinted Colombia's Fernando Gaviria at the line to write more history for the African continent.

With the peloton finishing together, Richard Carapaz took the leader's yellow jersey from Tadej Pogacar on countback. It is the first time an Ecuadorian rider has worn the yellow jersey; Carapaz also becomes one of just three men taking part in this year's Tour to have worn the leader's jersey in all three Grand Tours, joining Primoz Roglic and Mark Cavendish .

Tour de France Femmes: Demi Vollering conquers Alpe d’Huez as Kasia Niewiadoma wins GC title

Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) has won the 2024 Tour de France Femmes, keeping a four-second gap over Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) who attacked on the Col du Glandon and won the stage in Alpe d'Huez ahead of Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix-Deceuninck).

Niewiadoma started the finishing climb 43 seconds behind the front duo and fought hard on the climb to defend her lead. On the last kilometres, Évita Muzic (FDJ-Suez) was the only one who could follow Niewiadoma's pace, and the Frenchwoman outsprinted Niewiadoma for third place, 1:01 minutes behind the stage winner.

In the final GC, Niewiadoma wins by four seconds over Vollering and ten seconds over Rooijakkers.

“It’s so crazy, the whole stage was such a rollercoaster. I had a really bad moment on the Glandon but I was able to rebuild myself on the descent. And I was so lucky to have Lucinda Brand, I think we at Canyon-SRAM have to say thank you to Lidl-Trek because they did a great job also for us, bringing us closer to Demi and Pauliena.”

Describing her bad moment on the Col du Glandon in more detail, Niewiadoma continued: “I felt terrible at that moment, mentally and physically. On the descent, all of a sudden, I got my power back. It’s so weird how sometimes it happens, you crack, but then you just need a moment of relaxation and you get your power back. I just ate everything I had in my pockets, drank a lot of fluids, and then I thought, ‘okay, I’m ready to go again,’” she said.

“On Alpe d’Huez, I knew I had to pace myself and keep my best for the last five kilometres, just to minimise the gap as much as possible. To be honest, once again I lost the faith that I could do it. In the radio, they were screaming so much in the last two kilometres, I went through such a terrible time on this climb, I hated everything, to then finish and learn that I won the Tour de France is insane,” Niewiadoma said.

“It’s mindblowing because there are so many people I’m really grateful for, starting with my husband, my family, my friends, my whole team, and my coach Nate who put a lot of work to prepare me for that, and quite often he’s not really mentioned, so a big thank you especially to him. This victory goes to so many people who contributed to that victory,” Niewiadoma gave thanks to everyone who helped her along the way.

At the end of the interview, the 2024 Tour de France Femmes winner became almost philosophical, looking back at the 2023 edition and the recent Olympic road race.

“Life is insane. Last year I lost second place by less than a second, so now winning by a couple of seconds, I feel like, it’s all thanks to God who always has a plan for me, and, as life goes, there’s always something happening for certain reasons. I think that last year’s third place was there to reward me with this victory. And two weeks ago, I was so disappointed getting stuck behind the crash during the Olympics, now, due to a crash, I got some extra time. You never wish anyone any sort of bad luck, but it happens to everyone. This time, it didn’t happen to us, I’m grateful for that. I feel like all the stars aligned for my team and myself this week.”

Tour de France standings, results: Race outlook after Biniam Girmay wins Stage 8

The 2024 Tour De France completes Stage 8 from Semur-En-Auxois to Colombey-les-Deux-Églises on wet terrain in gloomy, cloudy conditions on Saturday.

Sprinter Mads Pedersen was notably absence on the starting line in Stage 8 after leaving the race due to an injury he suffered in the fifth stage. The decision to abandon the race was supported by his team, UCI WorldTeam Lidl–Trek, as he struggled through Stages 6 and 7 with pain and swelling that did not improve with treatment. X-rays showed that there was no fracture and Pederson will now take time to rest before competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Jonas Abrahamsen, also known as the king of the mountains, put in another impressive performance. Abrahamsen broke away early and maintained a comfortable lead for most of the race, despite the challenging weather conditions. However, after leading for 115 miles, the Norwegian was caught and dropped back in the field.

It was ultimately Biniam Girmay with Intermarche-Wanty who continued to make history, as he clinched his second win in Stage 8 after a fierce battle in the last half mile of the race.

Who Won the 2023 Tour de France?

A stage-by-stage guide to the leader of the General Classification of the men’s Tour.

Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) won the yellow jersey as the overall winner of the 2023 Tour de France. The 26-year-old won the Tour for the second straight season, becoming the 21st rider in history to win the race multiple times. Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), another two-time TdF winner, finished second for the second straight season, 7 minutes, 29 seconds behind Vingegaard. Pogačar’s UAE Team Emirates teammate Adam Yates was third overall, 10 minutes, 56 seconds behind the winner, to round out the podium of the Tour de France.

Here’s a look at how the General Classification played out in every stage of the 2023 Tour de France.

2023 Tour de France Champion - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) officially won the 2023 Tour de France after safely finishing Stage 21 on Sunday, July 23. For the second straight year, Vingegaard was the top General Classification rider at the Tour. This time, he beat second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) by 7:29, the largest margin of victory in the GC since Vincenzo Nibali won by 7:37 in 2014.

Vingegaard first claimed the yellow jersey after Stage 6 and never relinquished it. He led by 25 seconds over Pogačar at that point, but Pogačar slowly but surely cut into that advantage. That is, until Stage 16, when Vingegaard rode a brilliant time trial to drive his lead over Pogačar to 1:48. The next day on Stage 17, Vingegaard further solidified his lead after Pogačar cracked in the high mountains, driving Vingegaard’s lead well past seven minutes. He held that lead through the finish in Paris on Sunday. Pogačar, meanwhile, won the white jersey as the best young rider (25 years or younger) in the Tour de France. He wins white for a record-breaking fourth time.

Pogačar wasn’t the only UAE Team Emirates rider on the podium. Adam Yates, who held the yellow jersey from Stage 2 through Stage 5, finished third overall, 10:56 behind the leader. His twin brother, Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla), finished fourth overall, 12:23 back. Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) was fifth, 13:17 back.

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninick) won the green jersey as the winner of the points classification. Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) won the polka jersey, winning the King of the Mountains classification. Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma team won the team classification, with the best time of their team’s top three riders.

Stage 20 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) will wear the yellow jersey on the Champs-Élysées on Sunday as the leader of the 2023 Tour de France. Vingegaard is set to win his second straight Tour de France—barring diaster or as he said, “anything stupid—on the 21st and final stage.

Vingegaard finished second on Saturday’s Stage 20 with the same time as his top rival Tadej Pogačar. Pogačar claimed the stage win, but will have to settle for second to Vingegaard for a second straight year. This year, Vingegaard holds a 7 minute, 35 second advantage on Pogačar.

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) remains in third overall, 10:56 back of the yellow jersey to get the final podium spot. His twin brother Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) moved up a spot to fourth on Saturday. He’s 12:23 back of the lead. Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) rounds out the top five, losing a spot on Stage 20 after crashing early in the stage. He’s 12:57 behind the leader.

Stage 19 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) leads the 2023 Tour de France through 19 stages. Stage 19 was packed with a lot of exciting drama up front, but the General Classification contenders stayed well behind the action well over 13 minutes behind the stage winner.

Vingegaard continues to lead Tadej Pogačar (Team UAE Emirates) by 7:35. Adam Yates (also from UAE Team Emirates) is in third place overall, 10:45 back of the lead.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 75:49:24
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -7:35
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -10:45
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -12:01
• Simon Yates (Jayco–AlUla): -12:19
• Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek): 88 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 75:56:59 (+4:26)

Stage 18 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) remains in the lead of the 2023 Tour de France after Stage 18. Thursday’s stage was a day for the sprinters (even though the breakaway managed to barely survive), so there were no changes as far as the GC situation. Stage 18 comes a day after Vingegaard solidified his spot atop the yellow jersey standings.

Vingegaard leads second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) by 7:35. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) is in third, 10:45 behind the leader, and Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) is in fourth, 12:01 behind. With three stages to go, Vingegaard surely can taste his second straight Tour victory.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 72:04:39
• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 323 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 72:12:14 (+4:26)

Stage 17 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) leads the 2023 Tour de France, furthering his advantage on Stage 17. Vingegaard now leads second place Tadej Pogačar by 7 minutes, 37 seconds after leading by just 10 seconds two stages prior. Pogačar cracked in a big way on Wednesday, losing major time, while Vingegaard excelled once again in the mountains to gain massive amounts of time on his closest rival and pre-Tour co-favorite.

Vingegaard made major gains during the Stage 16 individual time trial, and then on Wednesday he delivered a virtual punishing blow to Pogačar’s yellow jersey hopes. It seemed during the Tour’s second week that Pogačar had a slight upperhand on Vingegaard. But it wasn’t to be as the defending champion through down his time trial and then big mountain ride on consecutive days. That changed the Tour from one of the closest of all-time to the largest leading margin since 2014.

There are four stages still remaining, but barring something completely unexpected, Vingegaard will win the Tour de France once again by the end of the day on Sunday.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 67:57:51
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 68:05:26 (+4:26)

Stage 16 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) leads the General Classification of the 2023 Tour de France after Stage 16. Vingegaard extended his hold on the yellow jersey on Tuesday on an individual time trial. The maillot jaune crushed the ITT, winning the stage by 1:38 and extending his GC lead to 1:48 over second place Tadej Pogačar, his top rival.

Vingegaard was magnificent on the time trial, putting time into Pogačar from the start all the way to the finish. It’s the first time this Tour that one of the co-favorites put a major amount of time into the other, as Vingegaard has firmly asserted himself as the one to beat over the remaining five stages.

Elsewhere in the GC battle for the podium, Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) moved up from fourth to third place in the standings. Yates supplanted Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) after the time trial. Yates, Pogačar’s teammate, is 8:52 behind the yellow jersey Vingegaard. Rodriguez is now in fourth place, 8:57 behind Vingegaard. Just five seconds separates Yates and Rodriguez, so it should be an exciting matchup between those two for the third and final podium spot in the GC.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 63:06:53
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -1:48
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -8:52
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -8:57
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -11:15
• Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek): 63 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 63:08:41 (+7:09)

Stage 15 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) remains in the yellow jersey after Stage 15 of the 2023 Tour de France. Vingegaard holds a 10-second lead over Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) after another tough mountain stage. Ultimately, the gap between the two GC favorites remained unchanged, as the two riders finished the stage together. The Tour heads into a Monday rest day before the final week begins, and very little has separated Vingegaard and Pogačar.

Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) was able to extend his hold on the third place podium spot after Stage 15. Rodriguez finished the stage ahead of Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe), who he started the day just one second ahead of. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) moved up ahead of Hindley for fourth place overall.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 62:34:17
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -:10
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -5:21
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -5:40
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -6:38
• Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek): 58 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 62:34:27 (+5:11)

Stage 14 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) still leads the 2023 Tour de France after a wild Stage 14. Vingegaard now holds a 10-second advantage on Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates). Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) moves up to third place in the GC after winning Stage 14. He’s now 4:43 behind the yellow jersey. Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) moves to fourth place in the GC, 4:44 back of the lead. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) is in fifth place, 5:20 behind.

Stage 14 only saw a change of one single second among the two leaders, Vingegaard and Pogačar, but that didn’t mean there weren’t plenty of fireworks. Jumbo-Visma pushed the pace to make it hard on Pogačar, but Pogačar looked to be relatively unfazed by it all. The stage proved that the battle for the yellow jersey will go down to the bitter end between Vingegaard and Pogačar.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 57:47:28
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -4:43
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -4:44
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -5:20
• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 54 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 57:47:38

Stage 13 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) held onto the yellow jersey as the leader of the 2023 Tour de France. But the gap between the defending champion and Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) has narrowed after the Slovenian, winner of the Tour in 2020 and 2021, attacked and then gapped the Dane about 400 meters from the top of the “Beyond Category” Col du Grand Colombier at the end of Stage 14.

Pogačar crossed the line 4 seconds ahead of Vingegaard and in doing so finished third on the stage to take a 4-second time bonus, which cut Vingegaard’s overall advantage to just 9 seconds. With two days in the Alps before Monday’s rest day, expect more fireworks as these two continue their intense fight to win the 2023 Tour de France.

A little less than a minute before the reignition of the Tour’s GC battle, Poland’s Michal Kwiatkowski (INEOS Grenadiers) won the stage after spending all day in the breakaway and attacking what was left of it on the lower slopes of the Grand Colombier. A super-domestique with an impressive resume of his own, the 33-year-old proved too strong for UAE Team Emirates to catch, holding-off Belgium’s Maxim Van Gils (Lotto-Soudal) and then Pogačar to take the second Tour de France stage victory of his career.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 53:48:50
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -:09
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -2:51
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -4:48
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -5:03
• Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost): 46 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 53:48:59'

Stage 12 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) remained in the yellow jersey after a somewhat stressful Stage 12 of the Tour de France. Despite the stress, the GC picture remained mostly unchanged. Vingegaard remains 17 seconds ahead of second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates). Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) is third overall in the GC, 2:40 back.

Thibaut Pinot made a jump into the top ten of the GC, going from 15th to tenth after gaining time on the other GC contenders in the breakaway on Thursday.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 50:30:23
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -:17
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -2:40
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -4:22
• Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious): -4:34
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 50:30:40 (+4:05)

Stage 11 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) continues to lead the 2023 Tour de France after 11 stages. Stage 11 saw no change to the General Classification on a sprint stage, despite a relatively tricky road into the finish.

Vingegaard remains 17 seconds ahead of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) for the lead in the yellow jersey competition. Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) is in third, holding down the final podium spot, 2:40 behind Vingegaard. Tuesday’s flat stage is the last true sprinter’s stage until perhaps Stage 19—or even the final Stage 21 in Paris—so we can expect an eventful next week or so as far as the GC is concerned.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 46:34:27
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 46:34:44 (+4:05)

Stage 10 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) held onto the yellow leader’s jersey after Stage 10 of the 2023 Tour de France, leading Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) by 17 seconds. Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) remains in third place, 2:40 behind Vingegaard. These standings should stay the same after Stage 11, which will likely favor the sprinters.

Stage 10 didn’t see any major GC moves, but that didn’t mean it was an easy day in the saddle for the yellow jersey hopefuls.The peloton held the breakaway in check throughout the day, never giving them too much time. Ultimately, there weren’t any moves on the stage after the rest day from Vingegaard or Pogačar.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 42:33:13
• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 260 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 42:33:30 (+4:05)

Stage 9 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) held onto his lead in the 2023 Tour de France, but lost time to Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) at the end of Sunday’s Stage 9. The stage finished atop the Hors Categorie (“Beyond Category”) Puy de Dôme, an extinct volcano rising above the Massif Central that the Tour hasn’t been climbed by the Tour since 1988.Canada’s Mike Woods (Israel-PremierTech) won the stage.

The former world class distance runner paced himself perfectly from the base of the climb, catching multiple riders left from the day’s big breakaway on the way to his first Tour de France stage victory. France’s Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) finished second, and Slovenia’s Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious) finished third. But the battle to win the Tour’s General Classification took place over eight minutes later, as Vingegaard and Pogačar continued their duel on the climb’s upper slopes.

Jumbo-Visma did a terrific job of whittling down to the yellow jersey group, but it was Pogačar who took advantage pulling away from Vingegaard about 1,400meters from the summit finish. Vingegaard only lost 8 seconds to the Slovenian, but heading into the first rest day, he now leads the Tour by just 17 seconds. The race to win the 2023 Tour de France is far from over.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 38:37:46
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -4:39
• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 259 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 38:38:03

Stage 8 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

There was once again no change in the overall, as Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) continues to lead the 2023 Tour de France. The defending champion has a 25-second advantage on Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), as the peloton prepares to head into a big mountain stage on Sunday.

Simon Yates (Jayco–AlUla) was the lone GC contender to lose time on Stage 8, crashing with about 6K to go in the stage, outside of the 3K safe zone. Yates went from being 3:14 down from the leader Vingegaard to 4:01 after Saturday.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): -
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -:25
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -1:34
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -3:30
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -3:40
• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 258 points
• Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost): 36 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): +3:05

Stage 7 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) enjoyed his first day in the yellow leader’s jersey during Stage 7 at the 2023 Tour de France. It was a relatively easy day—despite some intense heat—for the GC contenders in the peloton on Friday’s stage designed for the sprinters.

Vingegaard continues to hold a 25-second GC lead over Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates). The two riders will likely see a major GC clash again on Sunday’s Stage 9 mountain stage. Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) is 1:34 behind the yellow jersey Vingegaard in third overall.

• Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla): -3:14
• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 215 points

Stage 6 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) took over the lead of the 2023 Tour de France after an eventful Stage 6 that saw the GC contenders battle it out for the stage win and crucial seconds. Vingegaard will wear the yellow jersey on Friday’s Stage 7. He leads second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) by 25 seconds in the overall standings after Pogačar won Stage 6. Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe), who wore the yellow jersey on the day, lost time on Thursday and is now in third place in the GC, 1:34 back of the leader.

After Vingegaard dealt a major blow to Pogačar on Stage 5, Pogačar roared back to capture the stage win and prove that the GC is not over yet. Despite Vingegaard moving into the yellow jersey, Stage 6 was much more defined by Pogačar gaining time on Vingegaard than the changing of the guard in the leader’s jersey. It seemed after Stage 5 that the defending champion Vingegaard was clearly the strongest rider in the peloton once again, but Pogačar, a two-time Tour champion in his own right, showed us that it’s a long way to Paris and it could be a fierce battle all the way to the end.

• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 150 points

Stage 5 Leader - Jai Hindley

Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) took over the lead of the 2023 Tour de France after a brilliant win on Stage 5. Hindley leads the General Classification by 47 seconds (thanks in part to 18 seconds worth of bonuses picked up on Stage 5) over second place overall Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). Giulio Ciccone (Lidl–Trek) is 1:03 back in third overall and Emanuel Buchmann (Bora–Hansgrohe) is in fourth overall, 1:11 back.

The yellow jersey holder for the first five stages, Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) lost the lead on Wednesday and is now in fifth overall, 1:34 back of the lead. Tadej Pogačar, the co-prerace favorite along with Vingegaard, lost time on Stage 5 and is now in sixth place overall, 1:40 behind the leader Hindley. Vingegaard is 53 seconds ahead of Pogačar.

Stage 5 saw some major GC shakeups. Hindley, the 2022 winner of the Giro d’Italia, sits in yellow with a solid 47-second advantage over Vingegaard. With a grand tour win already under his belt, Hindley has a chance to stay in yellow for a while. Of course, a lot of that depends on the race tactics of Vingegaard and Pogačar, who may likely spar again on a mountainous Stage 6.

• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -
• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): -:47
• Giulio Ciccone (Lidl–Trek): -1:03
• Emanuel Buchmann (Bora–Hansgrohe): -1:11
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -1:34
• Felix Gall (AG2R Citroën): 28 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): +:16

Stage 4 Leader - Adam Yates

There was no change in the General Classification standings of the Tour de France after Stage 4. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) will stay in the yellow jersey another day, holding onto a six second advantage over teammate Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and his twin brother Simon Yates (Jayco–AlUla).

Stage 5 has a good chance to brings some GC fireworks. Pogačar—in second place overall—has an 11-second advantage over Tour de France co-favorite Jonas Vingegaard, who is in sixth place overall. That could change—one way or the other–on Wednesday.

• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -:06
• Simon Yates (Jayco–AlUla): -:06
• Victor Lafay (Cofidis): -:12
• Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma): -:16
• Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost): 18 points

Stage 3 Leader - Adam Yates

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) continues to lead the 2023 Tour de France. After the first two stages of the Tour de France brought a ton of fireworks and battles between the General Classification contenders, Stage 3 was the first (mostly) flat day for the sprinters.

Yates remains in the lead of the GC still six seconds up over second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and third place Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla). There were no significant losses among the contenders on Stage 3.

• Victor Lafay (Cofidis): 80 points

Stage 2 Leader - Adam Yates

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) maintained his lead of the 2023 Tour de France after Stage 2. Adam Yates finished 21st on the stage, but finished on the same time as the other top finishers of the day. He now holds the yellow jersey by six seconds over second place Tadej Pogačar, Yates’ UAE Team Emirates teammate. Adam Yates’ twin brother Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) is third overall, also six seconds behind.

Pogačar, meanwhile, earned 12 bonus seconds during Stage 2 to widen his lead over GC co-favorite Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), Vingegaard earned five bonus seconds on the day, and currently sits in sixth place in the yellow jersey competition, 17 seconds behind Yates and 11 seconds back of Pogačar. Stage 2 winner Victory Lafay (Cofidis) is now fourth overall in the GC.

Niewiadoma claims 2024 Tour de France Femmes yellow jersey in nail-biting battle with Vollering on Alpe d'Huez

Vollering wins the stage, but comes up just short to win the race overall. Rooijakkers second on stage, Muzic third.

Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//SRAM) has won the 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift after a titanic fight with Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) on the famous Alpe d'Huez. 

Vollering won the stage in a two-up sprint with Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix Deceuninck), but the gap to Niewiadoma, who was fourth, was not enough to overhaul the Pole in the overall standings.

SD Worx-Protime's reigning champion had attacked on the penultimate climb of the Col du Glandon, opening up an advantage of more than a minute over the yellow jersey . 

It was the first time since 1992 that a professional women's peloton had taken to the Alpe d'Huez. As the riders made their way up the famous 21 hairpins, the gap swung between being enough for Vollering to take yellow and then not. In the end, Niewiadoma crossed the line 1:01 behind Vollering to win the Tour de France Femmes by just four seconds. 

Only ten seconds separated the final overall podium, with Rooijakkers claiming third. Evita Muzic (FDJ-SUEZ) was third on the stage and finished the race fourth overall.

"It's so mind blowing," a jubilant Niewiadoma said after the stage. "There are so many people I'm really thankful and grateful for; starting with my husband, my family, my whole team, my coach Nate who put a lot of work to prepare me for that and quite often he's not really mentioned so a big thank you for him especially now."

"This victory goes to so many people that contributed."

At points throughout the day, it looked as though Vollering would open up enough of a gap to rip the yellow jersey from Niewiadoma's grasp. The Pole couldn't respond to the reigning champion's acceleration on the Glandon, but fought admirably over the following almost 60 kilometres.

"It's so crazy to be honest because the whole stage was such a crazy rollercoaster. I had a really bad moment on Glandon and then all of a sudden I was able to kind of rebuild myself, refresh," Niewiadoma said.

"I knew that I just had to pace myself smart and give my best in the last five-Ks just to like minimise the gap as much as possible. And to be honest, once again I lost the faith that I could still do it." 

"Then in the radio they were screaming so much in the last two-Ks. To be honest I've gone through such a terrible time on this climb. I hated everything to then arriving to the finish line and learning that I won the Tour de France which is insane."

how it happened

The battle to take home the yellow jersey of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes couldn't have taken place on more storied grounds. Although Alpe d'Huez is famous for many historic moments men's cycling, the women's peloton have seldom navigated the hallowed hairpins.

The final stage where all was to be won was not all about the Alpe. This was by far the hardest stage of the 2024 Tour and one of the hardest the women's peloton has faced in recent years. A lumpy beginning preceded the Col du Glandon, a hair off 20 kilometres in length at 7.2%, the Glandon would play its own part in today's final showdown.

The pressure was on Canyon//SRAM coming into the stage as they looked to defend Kasia Niewiadoma's yellow jersey. That pressure multiplied as a 22-strong break wen up the road just before the first categorised test of the day, the Col de Tamié.

That group included four from SD Worx-Protime as they hoped to set Demi Vollering up for an attack to close her 1:15 deficit and snatch the jersey away on the final day. Also there were four riders within three minutes of the lead: Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance-Soudal), Liane Lippert (Movistar), Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek) and Erica Magnaldi (UAE Team ADQ). Meanwhile Niewiadoma's team-mates stuck alongside their leader, working on the front.

Stage 7 winner Ghekiere, who had a lead of 16 points in the mountain classification coming into the day, took maximum points on the Tamié and also sat in the virtual lead with 100km to go and the breakaway's lead around 2:30.

That gap came down to just 90 seconds at the bottom of the Glandon as Liv AlUla Jayco began to help Canyon//SRAM with the work on the front of the peloton. The gap continued to tumble as riders dropped out of the leading group.

The attention of the riders lay ahead on Alpe d'Huez, but the Glandon deserves its own respect and could create opportunities. Mavi Garcia (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) attacked with 10km of the Glandon to go as FDJ-SUEZ took responsibility for the chasing behind. Garcia was soon caught and passed by the fast-moving Valentina Cavallar (Arkéa-B&B Hotels), who bridged across to the front and moved ahead solo.

The pace was on in the peloton, though. Niamh Fisher-Black (SD WOrx-Protime) took on the pacing with Vollering in her wheel. Niewiadoma and Pieterse were right behind as the group shrank to around 15. The yellow jersey was isolated in the favourites' group with 5km left of the Glandon. The likes of Juliette Labous, Thalita de Jong and Shirin van Anrooij, all sitting high on GC, were distanced before the very steepest sections of the mountain.

The anticipated move from Vollering came with 2.5km of the Glandon to go. The yellow jersey was immediately dropped. Only Pauliena Rooijakkers could go with Vollering.

Niewiadoma hung in with Lucinda Brand, Evita Muzic and Sarah Gigante. Gaia Realini was initially stuck between the two groups but was reeled in by Gigante as she worked on the front of the yellow jersey group. Puck Pieterse, sitting second overall coming into the stage, faded badly after a sensational week of racing for the multi-discipline star. Third place Cedrine Kerbaol was around ten seconds down on the chasing group at this point but made her way back.

Vollering quickly bridged to Cavallar with Rooijakkers glued to her wheel. The gap ballooned out to just under a minute by the top of the climb with 51 kilometres of the stage still to go and droplets of rain beginning to fall onto the tarmac.

Ahead of the riders was a 20km descent before 15km of valley road. Vollering pushed on down the fast Glandon descent, distancing Cavallar and extending her advantage to the yellow jersey to around 90 seconds at the bottom.

Rooijakkers, who came into the stage two seconds ahead of Vollering on GC, worked with the reigning champion on the approach to the Alpe d'Huez. The chasing yellow jersey group was seven strong and edged their way closer to the leaders. Lucinda Brand, working for Realini, drove them on. The yellow jersey's deficit was just 45 seconds at the foot of the final climb.

Niewiadoma continued the chase at the bottom of the final climb of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes. Just Muzic and Realini went with her as the gap to the front stayed steady in the opening kilometre. However, as the kilometres ticked on, the gap slowly grew and was soon back up to a minute with 10km left, but the pair needed more to contend for the maillot jaune .

Niewiadoma fought on and held the gap to Vollering. With 5km to go, the advantage began to dip below the minute-mark again. It was clear that Vollering's energy was slipping away as the yellow jersey began to reel her in. The gap stalled at 50 seconds as Rooijakkers began to contribute more to the efforts in front, but Niewiadoma fought on.

Vollering came around Rooijakkers in the final few hundred metres to take her second stage win of the race, but it wasn't enough to take her second yellow jersey. Niewiadoma drove on right to the line to take the narrowest victory in the short history of the Tour de France Femmes.

Tour de France Femmes Stage 5: Vollering Crashes Out of Yellow Jersey in Chaotic Finale

Blanka Vas (SD Worx-Protime) raced to the first Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift victory of her career Thursday, winning a five-woman sprint after a crash inside the final 7km split the peloton and brought down a number of riders.

Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) was second ahead of Liane Lippert (Movistar Team), Olympic champion Kristen Faulkner (EF-Oatly-Cannondale) and Emma Norsgaard (Movistar Team).

The fallers included race leader Demi Vollering (SD Worx-ProTime) and Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck), who had started the day second overall.

That saw the yellow jersey pass to Niewiadoma, who had started the day third, 34 seconds off the top of the general classification. Faulkner is now second overall.

Vollering limped in to the finish a long way back, as did Pieterse, and will both receive medical checks. Questions will be asked as to why Vollering was left isolated after her crash, with the team leader being forced to chase alone for some time.

She trailed in 1:47 back and dropped to ninth overall, 1:19 back.

It was a tough day for the team, but Vas’ win softens the blow.

“It is crazy, I still can’t believe it. I don’t know what to say. I really did not expect this today, because I felt so bad during the race,” the 22-year-old Hungarian champion said.

“Lorena [Wiebes] said to me, ‘believe in yourself,’ and it helped a lot. I can’t believe it.”

She wasn’t fully aware of the drama as it unfolded behind her.

“I was on Mischa’s [Mischa Bredewold] wheel, so in the second position. I did not hear anything. I don’t know what happened.

“My radio was not working so I did not know what was happening at the back. But Demi crashed and I think she lost yellow, so it is a shame. Now I have mixed feelings.”

Fourth in the Olympic road race on August 4, Vas was keeping particular view on the American winner from that race in the finale Thursday.

“I was like, ‘I cannot let Faulkner go,’ because I made the same mistake in the Olympics,” she said. “I was suffering so much but I knew if I would survive this small climb, then maybe I can win.

“The Olympics gives me a lot of confidence because I was racing in the front. So I know if I have a good day I can be in the front.”

Niewiadoma now leads, her advantage 19 seconds over Faulkner and 22 over Pieterse. The Dutchwoman wasn’t as badly delayed as Vollering, racing in as part of a group 28 seconds back.

A tough day made tougher by a multi-rider pileup

Stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes was another one on roads similar to the Ardennes Classics.

The 152.5km route between Bastogne and Amnéville had five classified ascents and constantly undulating roads, with the final kilometer an uphill one.

Almost immediately after the start Elena Pirrone (Roland) attacked and was joined by Michaela Drummond (Arkéa-B&B Hotels Women). They went over the category three Côte de Hotte in that order, but were recaptured 15km after the start.

Further attacks came and went but nothing was properly established until just after mountains leader Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck) beat Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance-Soudal Team) for the second mountain prime.

Loes Adegeest (FDJ-Suez) went away then with 81km remaining, racing solo over the summit of the Côte de Fermont, and was joined 13km later by Fem van Empel (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Julie Van De Velde (AG Insurance-Soudal Team).

They had 1:36 over lone chaser Alice Towers (Canyon-SRAM) with 50km to go, with the peloton two minutes back. Van de Velde took the intermediate sprint at Mercy-le-Haut and the trio then increased their lead to 2:38.

Cyclocross world champion Van Empel led them across the Côte de Briey and was also first on the Côte de Montois-la-Montagne with 15km remaining.

The pace in the bunch was growing more and more intense and the break was just 20 seconds clear at the intermediate sprint in Malancourt-la-Montagne with 13.2km to go.

Van de Velde pushed forward there to take top points and continued to hold a slight lead over her two breakaway companions for several minutes before they regrouped.

The peloton was 23 seconds back when it raced through the 10km to go point. Van de Velde tried another attack with 8.8km left but Van Empel reeled her in once again.

Drama as general classification is upended

The peloton was moving closer and closer to the leaders but their expected recapture by the large chasing group never occurred.

Just before the junction was made a large crash happened on a high speed bend with 6.2km to go.

Race leader Demi Vollering was one of about a dozen riders involved, landing on her left hip and ripping her shorts. She was delayed, remounting very gingerly and looking set to lose time. Pieterse was also involved but got moving more quickly.

Out front Adegeest clipped away from the other two inside the final 5km but was caught by a select chasing group with 2.9km remaining.

Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) was there, having avoided the crash, and attacked on a drag with 1.3km to go. She was quickly marked by Emma Norsgaard (Movistar Team), who surged with 1km to go but was in turn covered by Kristin Faulkner (EF-Oatly-Cannondale).

The American continued to lead towards the sprint, with Lippert launching in a bid to repeat her stage win of a year ago.

She was chased hard by Niewiadoma, who passed her on the rise to the line but in turn was overtaken by Vas for the first Tour stage victory of her career.

The final kilometre of this very eventful 5th stage saw Blanka Vas take victory after a sprint in a small group.

Tour de France stage 21 - As  it happened

Wout van Aert ( Jumbo-Visma ) sprinted to the prestigious stage 21 victory in Paris to win the final stage of the 2021 Tour de France . The finish straight on the Champs-Élysées was 700 metres in length, 400 metres longer than in previous years, but that did not afford chasers enough real estate to catch Van Aert, who surged to the front of the peloton with under 250 metres remaining and took his third stage win of the three-week Grand Tour.

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Fenix) finished second, less than a wheel length from the line, to get his third second-place finish at the Tour. Mark Cavendish (Deceuninck-QuickStep) finished third, but held on to the green jersey as the overall points classification victor, beating Michael Matthews (Team BikeExchange) by 56 points.

UAE Team Emirates rode into Paris with Tadej Pogačar wearing the maillot jaune and safely escorted him to the final podium to claim three classifications – overall, mountains and best young rider.

For the first time since 2012, only two riders finished within 10 minutes of the yellow jersey - Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) finished second, 5:20 off the winning mark, and Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) placed third, another 1:43 back.

Bahrain Victorious won the team competition by 19 minutes ahead of EF Education-Nippo, and Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels p/b KTM) claimed the super-combativity award after an aggressive three weeks of racing.

Stage 21 started in Chatou with a gentle pace set by UAE Team Emirates, sporting new jerseys emblazoned with yellow bands to celebrate Pogačar’s second consecutive Tour win. The final 52km of the stage took place over the eight laps of the Champs Élysées, and while sprinters looked for glory in the stage win, Pogačar and his teammates eased across the finish to celebrate a job well done.

The 2021 Tour de France will start in Brest in Brittany , on Saturday, June 26 having originally been scheduled for a Grand Départ in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The opening two stages to Landerneau and Mûr-de-Bretagne will provide a chance for the puncheurs, versatile sprinters and climbers to take the maillot jaune early on before the sprinters get two chances to win as the race heads east across the centre of France.

An early GC showdown will come on stage 5 with the 27.2-kilometre time trial from Changé to Laval Espace Mayenne before the road racing resumes with two stages that take the peloton to the Alps.

Stage 8 to Le Grand Bornard will see the first major climbing of the Tour, with three first-category climbs – including the Col de la Colombière – in the second part of the 150.8-kilometre stage. The following day to the 21-kilometre long summit finish at Tignes is just as tough, revisiting the Critérium du Dauphiné one-two of the Col du Pré and Cormet de Roselend.

Tignes also hosts the first rest day on July 5, ahead of a sprint stage in Valence and stage 11's visit to Mont Ventoux, which will be tackled twice before a descent straight to the finish in Malaucène.

Nîmes and Carcassonne offer up two more sprint chances on the following days before a nailed-on breakaway stage in the hills to Quillan take the peloton to the Pyrenees.

There, stage 15 to Andorra brings with it three first-category tests, including the Souvenir Henri Desgrange as the race hits 2,408 metres at Port d'Envalira. A rest day in the microstate. A tough stage to Saint-Gaudens follows but all minds will be on the final two mountain stages.

Stage 17 takes the riders over the Col de Peyresourde and Col de Val Louron-Azet before the HC-rated summit finish at 2,215 metres at the Col du Portet. Stage 18 provides two more HC tests in the Col du Tourmalet and the summit finish at Luz Ardiden, the last chance for climbers to make their mark.

A penultimate sprint stage follows, taking the peloton to Libourne, where stage 20 brings the GC finale in the shape of a 30.8-kilometre time trial to Saint-Emilion. If the Tour hasn't already been decided, then it certainly will be here.

As ever, the grand finale and the crowning of the Tour de France champion comes in Paris on the Champs-Élysées following a 108.4-kilometre ride from Chatou on July 18.

Check out the full details of the 2021 Tour de France route here.

The contenders

Once again, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) will be the main favourites for the title. The two are among the strongest climbers in the peloton and are also world-leading time trialists, which could prove decisive with two tests against the clock lying in wait for the riders.

The pair have enjoyed stellar starts to 2020, with Pogačar taking wins at the UAE Tour, Tirreno-Adriatico, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, while Roglič took three wins at PAris-Nice and the overall at Itzulia Basque Country.

The main challenge to the Slovenian duo should come from Ineos Grenadiers, who are led by 2018 winner Geraint Thomas and 2019 Giro d'Italia champion Richard Carapaz . The Welshman recently finished third at the Critérium du Dauphiné and looks best placed to challenge in both the mountains and time trials, while Carapaz is arguably the stronger climber.

Movistar's triumvirate will this year be headed up by new signing Miguel Ángel López , alongside Enric Mas and Alejandro Valverde. The Colombian looked in dominant form at the Mont Ventoux Dénivéle Challenge in June and will hope to improve on his sixth place in 2020.

His compatriot Nairo Quintana is a three-time podium finisher at the Tour and once again leads out Arkéa-Samsic. He won the Vuelta Asturias earlier this year but was off form at the Dauphiné.

Another Colombian to watch is EF Education-Nippo's Rigoberto Urán , who finished second in 2017 and has taken two top 10s since. His teammate and countryman Sergio Higuita could end up the team leader this year.

Elsewhere, look out for Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), Michael Woods (Israel Start-Up Nation), Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious), Wilco Kelderman (Bora-Hansgrohe), Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-QuickStep), Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo), and Simon Yates (Team BikeExchange). They're all likely to be in the top 10 GC battle, though fighting for the very top spots looks a little tougher.

Finally, the battle for sprint victories and the green jersey looks wide open, with Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) facing challenges from Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal), Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain Victorious), Tim Merlier and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix), Elia Viviani (Cofidis), Giacomo Nizzolo (Qhubeka Assos), Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ), Cees Bol (Team DSM), Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates), and more.

Bikes and tech

As the world's biggest bike race, the publicity and global reach that the Tour de France achieves is a sponsor's dream. As a result, the Tour de France is always a hotbed of tech, with new releases and custom colourways unveiled almost daily as brands work to capture the attention of onlookers. 

What's more, with the hard-fought battle for the yellow jersey, teams will do everything within their power to eke out marginal gains with innovative inventions and mechanical hacks. Most of the time this comes directly from their contracted sponsors, but occasionally teams will look further afield, breaking contracts in the pursuit of free speed.

Race history

Pogačar is the reigning champion, having overhauled his Slovenian compatriot Roglič in the final time trial at last year's race. The 21-year-old became the race's second-youngest winner after Firmin Labot back in 1904.

Pogačar broke a Ineos/Sky stranglehold on the race, with the British team having won seven of the previous eight Tours de France with Egan Bernal, Geraint Thomas, Bradley Wiggins and four-time winner Chris Froome. Vincenzo Nibali, then riding for Astana, was the other man to break the British squad's dominance with a win in 2014.

The Tour wins record is currently held by four men, with Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil and Miguel Indurain all on five titles.

2020 was also the year which saw the rare occasion of Sagan getting beaten in the battle for the green jersey. He lost out to Bennett after a race-long battle, but still holds the all-time green jersey rankings with seven wins in nine participations. Erik Zabel's six jerseys lie second, ahead of Sean Kelly's four.

Pogačar is the reigning mountain classification champion, too, having won the yellow, polka dot and white jerseys in 2020. He broke a three-year French stranglehold on the jersey after wins for Romain Bardet, Julian Alaphilippe and Warren Barguil.

Richard Virenque holds the record for polka dot jersey wins at seven, and it won't be beaten anytime soon as Rafał Majka is the only current rider to have won more than one king of the mountains title, with two.
