Tour de France

We had the time of our life. Each ride was carefully planned. Peter and his team inspired us to ride harder and better than we thought we could. Thank you!!!

Absolutely wonderful experience! The trip from beginning to end to us through some beautiful climbs and descents, and viewing areas for the tour. Having our own private areas for viewing was insane, a once in a lifetime experience. The staff was outstanding, very understanding, great guides, and just wonderful people. I wish I could do this trip all the time, it was truly my favorite trip I’ve ever done.

Itinerary Detail

Bienvenue en France!

Your trip starts at Toulouse Blagnac Airport where our staff will meet you before the transfer to your hotel in St Lary.

After a brief orientation meeting, lunch and bike build-up, you’ll head out on our warm-up ride, a magnificent ride through the rolling hills that surround the Aure Valley. Serene roads and spectacular mountain landscapes set the scene for the week to come!

After a brief orientation meeting, lunch and bike build-up, you’ll head out on our warm-up ride which takes you high into the hills above the Aure Valley over the Col de Ris. Serene roads and spectacular mountain landscapes set the scene for the week to come!

After a brief orientation meeting, lunch and bike build-up, you’ll head out on our warm-up ride over the famous Cat.1 climb to the Col de Val Louron-Azet, a spectacular climb with stunning views of the high peaks that mark the border with Spain.

Your trip starts at Toulouse Blagnac Airport where our staff will meet you before the transfer to your hotel in St Lary. In the afternoon we’ll organise a walk around the small town of St Lary, a very quaint mountain town with lots of lovely cafés where we can enjoy a coffee.

Port de Balès (Chaingate)

Your first big ride in the Pyrenees and we’ve picked the legendary Tour de France climb, the stunning Col d’Aspin, as your first test. The Aspin was the favorite climb of Thomson Bike Tours co-founder, the late Paul Rogen – and Paul never missed an opportunity to ride this climb whenever he left his home in Connecticut for a trip in the Pyrenees!

You’ll ride from the hotel and enjoy a 15km warm-up before reaching the town of Arreau where you’ll start the climb to the Aspin. Enjoy the ride and don’t forget to stop along the way to marvel at the highest peaks in the Pyrenees off to your left as you’re climbing!

First big ride in the Pyrenees and we kick things off with one of our favorite Pyreneeen climbs. The Port de Bales was first introduced to the Tour de France in 2007 when a gravel forestry trail was asphalted allowing a connection between two valleys. It’s probably best remembered for the “chaingate” incident in 2010 when Alberto Contador attacked Andy Schleck after Andy had dropped his chain.

Stunning scenery, no traffic, great pavement, fantastic views from the summit, and on a par with the Tourmalet in terms of difficulty all combine to make the Port de Bales one of our all-time favorite climbs. It’s a long ride so our staff will advance you 50km in the vans, to the village of St Bertrand de Comminges. From St Bertrand you’ll have a 10km warm-up before reaching Mauleon-Barousse and the start of the climb. From the summit, enjoy the great descent before the final climb of your trip, the iconic Col de Peyresourde.

Stunning scenery, no traffic, great pavement, fantastic views from the summit, and on a par with the Tourmalet in terms of difficulty all combine to make the Port de Bales one of our all-time favorite climbs. From the summit, enjoy the great descent before the final climb of the day, the iconic Col de Peyresourde.

Ainsa visit

Our hotel in St Lary is very close to Spain and today we’ve organised a day-trip over the border into Spain to visit the beautiful town of Ainsa. Sitting on a hlll-top above the new town, the medieval town is a real gem to visit. Enjoy tapas and wine in the Plaza Major which dates back to the 12th century then discover Ainsa’s narrow medieval streets on a walk around the old town.

The Tourmalet

Today’s your chance to ride the most famous of all Pyreneen climbs – the legendary Col du Tourmalet.

After breakfast you’ll jump in one of our support vans for a short, 30-minute transfer to the Hourquette d’Ancizan where you’ll start the ride. The descent through the vast prairies that surround the Hourquette is one of the prettiest rides in the Pyrenees. The village of Sainte Marie de Campan signals the start of the climb to the Tourmalet. The summit lies 17km ahead at an altitude of 2115m. Bon courage!

Setting out from the hotel your first challenge is in the form of the Cat.1 Hourquette d’Ancizan. The descent of the Hourquette takes you to Ste Marie de Campan and the start of the Tourmalet. Enjoy a snack at the famous cafe on the summit before heading back down to Ste Marie and the start of the magnificent ride over the Col d’Aspin and back to your hotel in St Lary Soulan.

Today’s your chance to ride the most famous of all Pyreneen climbs – the legendary Col du Tourmalet. And trust Thomson to add an extra twist, and have you climb it not once, but twice – from the Ste Marie de Campan side and from the Luz St Sauveur side. Only with Thomson!

Map & Profile

Orléans > Saint-Amand-Montrond

Heading through the Sologne forest, it’ll be difficult to predict the outcome of this stage, as the weather may play a significant role. After leaving Issoudun, the riders will find themselves on roads exposed to the crosswinds that scattered the peloton a decade ago. With three changes of direction in the last 30 kilometres, there’s a real chance of echelons forming.

Évaux-les-Bains > Le Lioran

There’s only one stage across the rugged Massif Central, but what a stage it is! With 4,350 metres of vertical gain, the riders will have to be on their mettle at all times, and particularly in the final 50 kilometres, when the degree of difficulty rises a level with a series of very challenging obstacles: the climb to the Col de Néronne, then to the Puy Mary Pas de Peyrol with its fearsome final two kilometres, then continuing on to the Col de Pertus, the Col de Font de Cère and the ascent to Le Lioran. They provide all manner of opportunities for eager climbers to attack.

Aurillac > Villeneuve-sur-Lot

The aesthetic landscapes of the Cantal and Lot regions won’t distract the baroudeurs (breakaway specialists) from the knowledge that there’s something for them to play for. The terrain here is all hills, with the climb to Rocamadour standing out – it’ll be tackled in the opposite direction to the route taken by the 2022 Tour time trial. The second part of the stage is more suited to the sprinters’ teams that are set on chasing the break down. However, on two previous and similar stages into Villeneuve-sur-Lot, the breakaway managed to hold off its pursuers.

The Lot-et-Garonne serves up some lovely balcony roads early in the stage, when the formation of the breakaway will be closely monitored by the sprinters’ teams, who will have studied the route carefully. If they judge their effort correctly, they won’t be caught out by the day’s escapees. However, amidst the hilly terrain approaching the finish, the Blachon and Simacourbe climbs could pose a problem for those sprinters who don’t feel comfortable in the hills.

Pau > Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d´Adet

The dynamic format of the first Pyrenean stage is accentuated by the fact that battle is unlikely to commence until the riders have gone through Lourdes. From that point, with 80 kilometres remaining, there’ll be a festival of climbing, featuring the Col du Tourmalet, the Hourquette d'Ancizan and the climb to Pla d'Adet. Fifty years on, the finish line will be exactly where it was when Raymond Poulidor celebrated victory in the 1974 Tour.

Loudenvielle > Plateau de Beille

The third Sunday of the Tour could prove crucial. Whatever’s happened on the previous days in the mountains, the terrain on this stage is ripe for revenge or confirmation, with 4,850 metres of vertical gain on the menu over almost 200 kilometres of racing. All manner of scenarios could play out, and it’s not unrealistic to imagine that team-mates of the GC contenders will attempt to infiltrate the breakaway climbing the Peyresourde. That would prove invaluable given what lies ahead, especially in a finale that features the climbs of the Col d’Agnes and the Port de Lers followed by the final haul up to Plateau de Beille.

Parcours du Tour de France 2023, programme complet et présentation des étapes

Découvrez le parcours détaillé de la 110e édition du tour de france 2023. ce tracé exceptionnel traversera les cinq principales chaînes de montagnes de la france. partant de la région basque espagnole, la course emblématique passera par des lieux incontournables tels que le tourmalet, le grand colombier et le col de la loze, en passant par le puy de dôme et également le markstein. explorez en détail chaque étape de la carte de ce parcours captivant., les étapes du tour de france.

Avec un Grand Départ explosif dans la région du Pays basque espagnol, une seule épreuve de contre-la-montre (mais intense), de 22 kilomètres, le Tour 2023 conduira les cyclistes à travers les cinq massifs montagneux de France. Ce tracé offre un total vertigineux de 30 ascensions classées en deuxième, première ou hors catégorie, une augmentation significative par rapport aux 23 de l'année précédente.

Le Tour de France 2023 ne se contente pas seulement de tester la robustesse des cyclistes, il se consacre également à perpétuer l'héritage historique du tour. Il continue d'introduire de nouveaux sites incontournables, comme le Grand Colombier et le col de la Loze, enrichissant le parcours avec de nouveaux défis.

Cependant, ce parcours ne manque pas non plus de revisiter les terres marquées par son passé glorieux. Trente-cinq ans après sa dernière apparition sur le parcours du Tour, le Puy de Dôme, le célèbre volcan d'Auvergne, revient en force. L'ascension de ce mont sera prévue pour la fin de la première semaine de course, promettant d'être l'un des moments forts de l'événement cet été.

Carte du Tour de France 2023

Où aura lieu le grand départ du Tour de France 2023 ?

Le Grand Départ aura lieu à Bilbao, le peloton sera rapidement mis à l'épreuve avec deux étapes basques conçues pour les puncheurs et l'attaque immédiate des Pyrénées. La deuxième partie de la compétition s'articulera autour d'un séjour alpestre copieux, qui mettra à l'épreuve la résistance de certains des plus grands champions, avec des étapes difficiles à Morzine, Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc et Courchevel. Enfin, avant l'arrivée traditionnelle sur les Champs-Élysées, les coureurs effectueront un dernier détour par les Vosges.

1er juillet 2023 : Bilbao - Bilbao

Comme lors du Tour 2020 où Julian Alaphilippe a endossé le maillot jaune en Bretagne, la première étape de l'édition 2022 sera conçue pour les meilleurs coureurs puncheurs du peloton. Il s'agira d'un parcours en boucle autour de Bilbao, la plus grande ville du Pays basque espagnol, où le départ officiel de la course sera donné. Cette étape comportera cinq montées répertoriées, dont trois dans la partie finale, ce qui promet d'être une journée mouvementée. La dernière montée, la côte de Pike (2 km à 10 %, avec les 500 derniers mètres à 15,6 %), se situera à seulement dix kilomètres de l'arrivée.

2 juillet 2023 : Vitoria-Gasteiz - San Sebastian

Partant de Vitoria, la capitale du Pays basque, le peloton se dirigera vers Saint-Sébastien en empruntant les routes de la célèbre course "Clasica", qui se tient chaque année une semaine après la fin du Tour de France et où Remco Evenepoel a dominé ses concurrents en juillet 2022 . Cette étape sera donc une nouvelle épreuve difficile et vallonnée, avec notamment l'ascension de Jaizkibel (8,1 km à 5,4 %, sommet à 17 km de l'arrivée), qui fera une sélection parmi les prétendants à la victoire, voire même parmi les prétendants au classement général.

3 juillet 2023 : Amorebieta-Etxano - Bayonne

Après avoir parcouru près de 100 kilomètres le long de la côte, le peloton quittera l'Espagne et entrera en France par le département des Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Ce sera la première incursion sur le territoire français, qui se poursuivra jusqu'à l'arrivée à Paris. L'étape mènera les coureurs jusqu'à la ville de Bayonne et ne présentera pas de difficultés majeures dans sa seconde moitié, offrant ainsi une première opportunité aux sprinteurs de briller.

4 juillet 2023 : Dax - Nogaro

Le départ de l'étape sera donné sur les terres d'André Darrigade, le célèbre sprinteur de l'après-guerre âgé de 93 ans. Les coureurs baroudeurs tenteront de profiter du relief du Gers pour s'échapper du peloton, mais les équipes des sprinteurs ne leur faciliteront pas la tâche dans un final propice aux coureurs rapides. Un autre sprint massif est donc prévu sur un terrain original : le circuit automobile de Nogaro.

5 juillet 2023 : Pau - Laruns

Les Pyrénées offriront le premier véritable défi montagneux du Tour de France 2023, avec deux grandes ascensions au programme de la 5e étape. Les coureurs devront affronter le col de Soudet, qui s'étend sur 15,1 kilomètres à une pente moyenne de 7,2 %, ainsi que le col de Marie Blanque, long de 7,7 kilomètres avec une pente moyenne de 8,6 %. Le sommet de ce dernier col sera situé à moins de 20 kilomètres de la ligne d'arrivée à Laruns, où Tadej Pogacar a remporté sa première victoire sur le Tour en 2020. Le parcours ne favorisera peut-être pas les attaques majeures, mais il révélera probablement les premières faiblesses des coureurs.

6 juillet 2023 : Tarbes - Cauterets-Cambasque

Cette étape de haute montagne sera relativement courte, mais elle comportera deux cols mythiques : le col d'Aspin, d'une longueur de 12 kilomètres avec une pente moyenne de 6,5 %, et le col du Tourmalet, qui s'étend sur 17,1 kilomètres avec une pente moyenne de 7,3 %. En revanche, l'ascension finale vers le plateau de Cambasque, qui s'étend sur 16 kilomètres à une pente moyenne de 5,4 %, est beaucoup moins connue. Les coureurs du Tour n'ont emprunté cette montée qu'une seule fois, en 1989, lorsque Miguel Indurain a remporté sa première victoire sur l'épreuve (l'une des rares victoires obtenues en ligne).

7 juillet 2023 : Mont-de-Marsan - Bordeaux

Cette étape offre un parcours idéal pour les sprinteurs lors de cette longue traversée des Landes, où le peloton devrait pouvoir contrôler la course sans trop de difficulté. Bordeaux, qui accueillera le Tour pour la 81e fois dans son histoire, confirmera probablement son statut de capitale du sprint. Les coureurs les plus rapides s'affronteront dans un final palpitant, avec une ligne droite de deux kilomètres le long des quais de la ville.

8 juillet 2023 : Libourne - Limoges

Seuls les sprinteurs les plus explosifs du peloton se disputeront la victoire à l'issue de cette 8e étape, dont la seconde moitié sera relativement vallonnée, avec une succession de courtes montées qui pourraient semer un peu de confusion. La dernière fois que le Tour est passé par Limoges, Marcel Kittel s'était imposé de justesse devant Bryan Coquard, avec un écart minuscule de 0,0003 seconde.

9 juillet 2023 : Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat - Puy de Dôme

À la veille de la première journée de repos, le peloton partira du village qui a adopté Raymond Poulidor et se dirigera vers le Puy-de-Dôme, où "Poupou" a écrit l'une des pages les plus mémorables de l'histoire du Tour en se battant contre Jacques Anquetil lors de l'édition 1964. Cela fait trente-cinq ans que le Tour de France n'a pas escaladé le Géant d'Auvergne. L'ascension du volcan endormi, avec une route fermée à la circulation et les 4 derniers kilomètres à 12 %, promet d'être épique entre les favoris du classement général. De plus, les reliefs auvergnats auront déjà fatigué les jambes des prétendants avant la montée finale.

10 juillet 2023 : Jour de repos à Clermont

11 juillet 2023 : vulcania - issoire.

Au lendemain de la première journée de repos, le peloton reste dans le Massif Central pour la 10e étape. Cette étape devrait être propice aux coureurs baroudeurs, et la bataille pour faire partie de l'échappée promet d'être spectaculaire dans la chaîne des Puys. Après l'ascension du col de la Croix Saint-Robert, le peloton se dirigera vers Issoire, où Pierre Le Bigaut avait remporté une victoire mémorable il y a 40 ans, après avoir passé 100 kilomètres en solitaire à l'avant.

12 juillet 2023 : Clermont - Moulins

Cette étape de transition présente quelques montées qui pourraient causer quelques difficultés aux coureurs, mais les routes de l'Allier ne devraient pas empêcher le peloton de contrôler les éventuelles échappées du jour. Une arrivée en sprint massif est prévue à Moulins. À noter que grâce à cette arrivée inédite dans le Tour de France, la Grande Boucle pourra se vanter d'avoir maintenant fait étape dans toutes les préfectures de la France métropolitaine, ce qui ajoute une touche anecdotique à cette étape.

13 juillet 2023 : Roanne - Belleville-en-Beaujolais

Cette étape propose un parcours accidenté tracé à travers les reliefs du Beaujolais, au coeur des vignobles, et elle devrait couronner un coureur attaquant ou un sprinteur explosif ayant résisté aux montées des cols de la Croix Montmain et de la Croix Rosier. En 2011, lors de Paris-Nice, Thomas Voeckler avait su exploiter ce terrain vallonné pour remporter l'étape à Belleville. La lutte pour l'échappée promet d'être intense une fois de plus.

14 juillet 2023 : Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne - Grand Colombier

Cette étape de montagne dynamique, d'une distance de moins de 140 kilomètres, se déroulera entièrement dans l'Ain le jour de la Fête nationale. Le parcours conduira le peloton jusqu'au plateau d'Hauteville-Lompnes, puis se terminera au sommet de l'un des plus importants sommets du Jura, le Grand Colombier (17,4 km à 7,1 %). La "pyramide du Bugey", comme on la surnomme, a été visitée pour la première fois par le Tour de France en 2012 et est rapidement devenue incontournable. Il y a deux ans, Tadej Pogacar s'y était imposé, confirmant ainsi son talent exceptionnel.

15 juillet 2023: Annemasse - Morzine les Portes du Soleil

Un sacré morceau alpestre, 152km sans le moindre répit, avec un départ d'Annemasse, au bord du Lac Léman, puis un impressionnant enchaînement de difficultés : le col de Cou, le col du Feu, le col de Jambaz, le col de la Ramaz (13,9km à 7,1 %) et pour finir l'impressionnant col de Joux Plane (11,6km à 8,5 %) pour 4 200m de dénivelé positif au total. Le vainqueur sera aussi un bon descendeur puisque l'arrivée sera jugée en bas de Joux Plane, à Morzine.

16 juillet 2023 : Les Gets Les Portes du Soleil - Saint-Gervais - Mont Blanc

Encore une étape de montagne de toute beauté en Haute-Savoie, où les favoris au général risquent fort de vouloir s'expliquer. Après le col de la Forclaz de Montmin (7,2km à 7,3 %), les meilleurs grimpeurs du peloton vont enchaîner en moins de 70 kilomètres : le col de la Croix Fry (11,3km à 7 %), le col des Aravis, la descente vers Domancy puis l'éprouvante côte des Amerands (2,7km à 11,1 %) et la montée finale au Bettex (7,2km à 7,7 %), où Romain Bardet avait réussi un coup d'éclat solitaire en 2016.

17 juillet 2023 : Jour de repos à Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc

18 juillet 2023 : passy - combloux (contre-la-montre individuel).

L'unique chrono du Tour 2023 est court (22 kilomètres) et plutôt favorable aux rouleurs-grimpeurs puisque le tracé se caractérise par la présence de la côte de Soudans en début de parcours, et surtout par celle de la célèbre côte de Domancy (2,5km à 9,4 %). Les sept derniers kilomètres seront en montée. À noter que Passy et Combloux, au départ et à l'arrivée de ce contre-la-montre, sont deux villes-étapes inédites.

19 juillet 2023 : Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc - Courchevel

Après y avoir passé trois jours, le peloton quitte Saint-Gervais pour une autre célèbre station, Courchevel, où se sont notamment imposés par le passé Richard Virenque (1997), Marco Pantani (2000) et Alejandro Valverde (2005). Un autre grand grimpeur s'ajoutera à la liste cette année : plus de 5 000 mètres de dénivelé positif sont au programme de cette étape XXL avec le col des Saisies (13,3km à 5,3 %), le Cormet de Roselend (19,9km à 6 %), la côte de Longefoy (6,6km à 7,6 %) et surtout le col de la Loze (28,4km à 6 %), le nouveau géant des Alpes et son final époustouflant. Il faudra alors plonger vers Courchevel et filer vers la piste de l'altiport cabrée à 18 % de dénivelé tout de même. Le morceau de bravoure de cette édition 2023.

20 juillet 2023 : Moûtiers - Bourg-en-Bresse

Les sprinteurs qui auront encaissé le rude séjour alpestre vont enfin être récompensés, car voici que se profilent deux jours taillés pour eux. Le premier, lors de la 18e étape, voit le parcours entre Moûtiers et Bourg-en-Bresse éviter savamment les bosses pour faciliter leur retour au premier plan.

21 juillet 2023 : Moirans-en-Montagne - Poligny

À deux jours de l'arrivée à Paris, c'est un nouvel épisode pour sprinteurs qui se profile entre les lacs du Jura, mais sans jamais monter sur ses sommets. La côte d'Ivory, à trente kilomètres de l'arrivée, n'empêchera pas l'explication massive à Poligny, au bout d'une ligne droite historiquement longue : un peu plus de huit kilomètres sans le moindre changement de direction !

22 juillet 2023 : Belfort - Le Markstein

Après avoir proposé un contre-la-montre à la veille des Champs-Élysées lors de ces trois dernières éditions, les organisateurs du Tour ont cette fois dessiné une magnifique étape de montagne dans les Vosges, sur un format court et dynamique, pour offrir aux prétendants une dernière chance de renverser le Maillot Jaune. 3 600 mètres de dénivelé en 133 km à peine avec le Ballon d'Alsace (11,5km à 5,3 %), le col de la Croix des Moinats, le col de Grosse Pierre, le col de la Schlucht, le Petit Ballon (9,3km à 8,1 %), le Platzerwasel (7,1km à 8,4 %)... un dernier feu d'artifice !

23 juillet 2023 : Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines - Paris Champs Elysées

Du grand classique pour cette dernière étape avec un départ de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines et son vélodrome, clin d'oeil aux Jeux de Paris 2024, pour une arrivée, via le Louvre, sur le superbe manège des Champs-Élysées, qui sacrera vraisemblablement un sprinteur (sept vainqueurs différents sur les sept dernières éditions).

Quand se termine le Tour de France 2023 ?

La dernière étape (21eme étape de La Grande Boucle) se déroule dimanche 23 juillet 2023 à Paris, l'arrivée du Tour de France aura lieu sur les Champs-Elysées.

Tour de France 2023 route: Every stage of the 110th edition in detail

This year's race has kicked off in Bilbao, in Spain's Basque Country. It looks like it'll be a Tour for the climbers, with the Puy de Dôme returning and 56,400 metres of climbing in all

The 2023 men's Tour de France began in Bilbao, Spain on Saturday, July 1, with a route that looks set to be one for the climbers. It features four summit finishes, including a return for the iconic Puy de Dôme climb for the first time since 1988.

There is just one time trial across the three-week event, a short uphill race against the clock from Passy to Combloux over 22km. There are also returns for other epic climbs like the Col de la Loze and the Grand Colombier, with 56,400 metres of climbing on the Tour de France 2023 route.

The race started on foreign soil for the second year in a row, with a Grand Départ in the Spanish Basque Country , the setting for the race's 120th anniversary. There were two hilly stages in Spain, before the peloton crossed the border into France for a stage finish in Bayonne on day three. 

After visiting Pau for the 74th time on stage five, the race's first real mountain test came on stage six, leaving Tarbes and cresting the Col d’Aspin and Col du Tourmalet before a summit finish in Cauterets. 

On stage seven, the Tour’s second most visited city, Bordeaux, will welcome its first stage finish since 2010, when Mark Cavendish claimed his 14th of a record 34 stage wins. Leaving nearby Libourne the next day, stage eight will head east on a 201km slog to Limoges. 

Before the first rest day, the riders will wind up to the summit of the Puy de Dôme, a dormant lava dome which hasn’t featured in the Tour for 35 years. They’ll then enjoy a well-earned day off in Clermont-Ferrand before continuing their passage through the Massif Central. 

France’s national holiday, 14 July, will be celebrated next year with a summit finish on the Grand Colombier, the site of Tadej Pogačar ’s second stage win back in 2020. From there, the mountains keep coming. The riders will climb over the Col de Joux Plaine to Morzine on stage 14, before another mountaintop test in Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc the next day.

The sole individual time trial of the Tour de Franc route comes on stage 16, when a hilly 22km dash from Passy to Combloux will give the GC contenders a chance to force time gaps. The following day will bring the stage with the highest elevation gain, counting 5000m of climbing en route to the Courchevel altiport, via the Cormet de Roselend and the monstrous Col de la Loze. 

On stages 18 and 19, the sprinters are expected to come to the fore, with flat finishes in Bourg-en-Bresse and Poligny. 

The penultimate stage will play out in the country’s most easterly region, ascending the Petit Ballon, Col du Platzerwasel and finishing in Le Markstein, as the Tour de France Femmes did last year. 

The riders will then undertake a 500km transfer to the outskirts of Paris for the curtain-closing stage. The final day will start at France’s national velodrome in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, the track cycling venue for the 2024 Olympics, and will conclude with the customary laps of the capital’s Champs-Elysées. 

The 2023 Tour de France will begin on 1 July, with the winner crowned in Paris on 23 July. 

2023 Tour de France stage table

Tour de France route week summary

Tour de france week one.

The race began in Bilbao, starting in the Basque Country for the first time since 1992, when the Tour started in San Sebastian. The first two stages are packed full of climbs, with ten classified hills in over the opening couple of days, meaning there will be a fierce battle for the polka-dot jersey. Watch out for Basque fans going crazy on the roadside.

Stage three saw the race cross into France, which it will not leave for the rest of the 18 days. As expected we saw a sprint finish in Bayonne, even after four categorised climbs en-route. Nothing is easy this year.

The fourth day was another sprint, on a motor racing circuit in Nogaro, as the race moved, ominously, towards the Pyrenees. The Hors Categorie Col de Soudet on stage five was the first proper mountain of the race, and was followed by the Col de Marie Blanque, which has tough gradients. A GC day early on, although they are all GC days, really.

Stage five was a mountain top finish in Cauterets-Cambasque, but its gradients didn't catch too many out; it is the Col d'Aspin and Col du Tourmalet that will put people through it.

The seventh day of the race was a chance for the riders to relax their legs as the race headed northwest to an almost nailed-on sprint finish, before another opportunity for the the remaining fast men presented itself on stage eight - after two category four climbs towards the end, and an uphill finish.

The long first week of the race - which will have felt longer because last year had a bonus rest day - ended with the mythical Puy de Dôme.

Tour de France week two

The second week begins with a lumpy road stage around Clermont-Ferrand, starting from a volcano-themed theme park. This will surely be a day for the break. The next day could also be one if the sprint teams fail to get their act together, with two early categorised climbs potential ambush points.

Back into the medium mountains on stage 12, with a finish in the wine making heartland of the Beaujolais, Belleville. Another day for the break, probably, but none of the five categorised climbs are easy.

The following day, stage 13, is France's national holiday, 14 Juillet. The Grand Colombier at the end of the day is the big attraction, with its slopes expected to cause shifts on the GC. Stage 14 is yet another mountain stage as the Tour really gets serious, with the Col de la Ramaz followed by the Col de Joux Plane. The latter, 11.6km at 8.5%, will be a real test for a reduced peloton, before a downhill finish into Morzine.

The final day of week two, stage 15, is yet another day in the Alps before a rest day in Saint-Gervais-Mont-Blanc. There is nothing as fearsome as the previous days, but 4527m of climbing should still be feared.

Tour de France week three

The third and final week begins with the race's only time trial, 22km long and with a lot of uphill. It is not a mountain event, but it is certainly not one for the pure rouleurs .

Stage 17 looks like the race's Queen Stage, with the final climb up to the Col de la Loze looking incredibly tough on paper, and in real life. That follows the Col de Saisies, the Cormet de Roselend and the Côte de Longefoy, adding up to 5,100m of climbing. The race might be decided on this day.

After that, there is a nice day for the sprinters on stage 18, with a flat finish in Bourg-en-Bresse surely one for the fast men. The next day, stage 19 could be a breakaway day or a sprint finish, depending on how desperate teams are feeling, or how powerful the remaining leadout trains are.

The final mountainous day comes on the penultimate stage, with the men following the Femmes lead and finishing in Le Markstein. However, there's no Grand Ballon, just the Petit Ballon, and so unless something chaotic happens, there should not be great time switches on this stage.

Then, at last, there is the usual finish on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, after the race heads out of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, which has a long-term deal to host the start of Paris-Nice too. ASO country.

Remember, this will be the last time Paris hosts the Tour de France until 2025. So, be prepared.

Tour de France 2023: The stages

Stage one: Bilbao to Bilbao (182km)

The opening stage is very lumpy

There was no easing into the Tour de France for the peloton this year, with a tough, punchy day in the Basque Country. Adam Yates took the first yellow jersey of the 2023 Tour de France after a scintillating stage in the Basque Country that saw the overall battle for the Tour take shape at the earliest opportunity.

The Briton emerged clear over the top of the final climb of the stage, the short and steep Côte de Pike, with his twin brother Simon a few seconds behind him. The pair worked well together to stay clear of the chasing bunch of GC contenders before Adam rode his brother off his wheel inside the final few hundred metres to claim victory.

Stage two: Vitoria-Gasteiz to Saint Sebastian (208.9km)

Still in the Basque Country, there is a Klasikoa theme to stage two

This was the longest stage of the Tour, surprisingly.  Five more categorised climbs meant  it was unlikely to be a sprint stage, including the Jaizkibel, famous from the Clasica San Sebastian, tackled on its eastern side 20km from the finish. This second stage from Vitoria Gasteiz to San Sebastian on the Basque coast followed many of the roads of the San Sebastian Classic, held here every summer.

An early break was soon established in the first 50km and established a three-minute advantage. However, the break was reeled in and a group, including the yellow jersey Adam Yates, pressed towards the finish with Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) clearly hoping it would finish in a sprint. 

Victor Lafay (Cofidis) had other ideas however, and with all and sundry already having attacked Van Aert, Lafay finally made it stick with a kilometre to go, holding off the reduced bunch all the way to the line.

Stage three: Amorebiata-Etxano to Bayonne (187.4km)

Still some hills, but this should be a sprint stage

The third stage took the riders from Amorebieta-Etxano in the Basque Country and back into France, finishing at Bayonne in what was always tipped to be a bunch sprint.  Ultimately, despite a very strong showing in the leadout by Fabio Jakobsen's Soudal-Quick Step team, it was Jasper Philipsen who triumphed , having benefited from a deluxe leadout by team-mate Mathieu Van Der Poel.

Mark Cavendish, who is hunting for a record 35th stage win in what will be his final Tour de France, was sixth.

Stage four: Dax to Nogaro (181.8km)

A nailed on bunch sprint, surely. Surely!

Now this one was always going to be a sprint finish, right? It finished on a motor racing circuit in Nogaro, meaning teams have a long old time to sort their leadout trains.  After a sleepy day out all hell broke lose on the finishing circuit with a series of high speed crashes. Jasper Philipsen was one of the few sprinters to still have a lead-out man at his disposal and when that lead-out man is of the quality of Mathieu van der Poel he was always going to be very difficult to beat. So it proved with Australian Caleb Ewan chasing him down hard but unable to come around him.  Philipsen's win handed him the green jersey too .

Stage five: Pau to Laruns (162.7km)

The first proper mountain, and the first sorting out, as early as stage five

The first Hors Categorie climb of the race came on stage five, the Col de Soudet, which is 15.2km at 7.2%, before the Col de Marie-Blanque and its steep gradients. It certainly ignited the GC battle!  

A break that at one point contained 37 riders was never allowed more than a few minutes, but that proved unwise for Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar behind. Ultimately, with the break already splintering on the final big climb – the Col de Marie-Blanque – Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe), riding his first Tour de France, attacked. 

With Hindley time trialling the largely downhill 18km to the finish, Vingegaard attempted to chase him down – and put time into Pogačar as he did so.

Picking up strays from the early break on the way, Vingegaard got to within 34 seconds of Hindley, but it wasn't enough to stop the Australian from taking the stage win, and the yellow jersey .

Stage six: Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque (144.9km)

While in the Pyrenees, why not tackle a few more mountains?

A day of aggressive racing in the Pyrenees towards the first summit finish saw Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) take the yellow jersey but Tadej Pogačar (UAE Emirates) win the stage .

Having had his team set a blistering pace on the Col du Tourmalet, Vingegaard attacked with 4km until the summit. Only Pogačar could follow him as yellow jersey holder Jai Hindley dropped back to the peloton

Having joined up with super domestique Wout van Aert over the top, the group of favourites were towed up the first half of the final climb before Vingegaard attacked. Once again Pogačar followed and with two kilometers to go the Slovenian counter-attacked.

He clawed back nearly half a minute by the line, making the race for yellow a three horse race between those two and Hindley in the process. 

Stage seven: Mont-de-Marsan to Bordeaux (169.9km)

Bordeaux is always a sprint finish

Renowned as a sprint finish town, Bordeaux didn't disappoint the hopeful fastmen –except perhaps for Mark Cavendish, who had to concede victory to hat-trick man Jasper Philipsen, despite a very strong charge for the line from the Manxman .

With Cavendish hunting that elusive 35th record stage win, and having won here last time the Tour came visiting in 2010, many eyes were on the Astana Qazaqstan rider, with on-form Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) who has won twice already, starting as favourite.

The day began with Arkéa-Samsic's Simon Gugliemi forging what turned out to be a solo break that lasted 130 kilometres. He was joined by Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) and Nans Peters (Ag2r-Citroën) halfway through the stage, the trio forming a purposeful triumvirate of home riders.

However, with the sprinters and their teams on the hunt and few places to hide on what was a hot day crammed with long, straight roads, the break served only as a placeholder for the day's main action in Bordeaux.

A technical finish with roundabouts aplenty, first Jumbo-Visma (in the service of GC leader Jonas Vingegaard) and then Alpecin-Deceuninck took the race by the scruff of the neck in the final. Philipsen enjoyed a marquee leadout from team-mate Mathieu Van Der Poel, but when Cavendish turned on the afterburners at around 150m and leapt forward, the whole cycling world held its breath.

That 35th stage win had to wait for another day though, with Philipsen sweeping past in what was yet another command performance from the Belgian.

Stage eight: Libourne to Limoges (200.7km)

Three categorised climbs in the final 70km could catch people out

Mads Pedersen powered to victory up a punchy finish on stage eight of the  Tour de France , managing to hold off green jersey  Jasper Philipsen  in the process.

Pedersen, the Lidl-Trek rider, now has two Tour stage wins to his name, in a finish which mixed pure sprinters and punchier riders. Alpecin-Deceuninck's Philipsen was third, with Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) in third. To prove how mixed the top ten was, however, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) finished behind the likes of Corbin Strong (Israel-Premier Tech) and Bryan Coquard (Cofidis).

On a day which could have been one for the breakaway, the race was controlled expertly by Jumbo, Trek and Alpecin for their options, and so the escapees were never allowed much time. Sadly, stage eight turned out to Mark Cavendish's last - the Astana-Qazaqstan rider crashed heavily and was forced to abandon .

Stage nine: Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat to Puy de Dôme (184km)

The Puy de Dôme is back, and is vicious

In a north American showdown it was Canada that came out on top as  Michael Woods  beat American rival  Matteo Jorgenson  to the win atop the legendary Puy de Dôme.

Jorgenson had gone solo form a breakaway with 40km left to race. However, on the slopes of the Puy de Dôme where the gradient remains over 105 for more than four kilometres, Woods closed the gap and came around Jorgenson with just 600m left to go.

In the final kilometre, of what had been a blisteringly hot day with temperatures north of 30 degree Celsius, Tadej Pogačar managed to drop Jonas Vingegaard but the Jumbo-Visma captain dug deep to minimise his losses and came across the line eight seconds down.

Stage 10: Vulcania to Issoire (162.7km)

Five categorised climbs over this Volcanic stage

The breakaway had its day in Issoire, as Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) won beneath the scorching sun in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. 

After a frantic start, the mood finally settled and a 14-rider move went clear. Krists Neilands (Israel Premier Tech) launched a solo bid with around 30km remaining, but was caught in the closing moments by a chasing group led by Bilbao. The Spaniard then policed attacks in the finale, before sprinting to his team's first victory at this year's race. 

"For Gino," Bilbao said afterwards, dedicating his win to his late teammate, Gino Mäder .  

Stage 11: Clermont-Ferrand to Moulins (179.8km)

The flat finalé hints at a sprint, but it could be a break day

After a difficult previous day that was hot and hilly, the bunch allowed the break to go very quickly, with Andrey Amador, Matis Louvel and Daniel Oss quickly gaining three minutes. They were kept on a tight leash though, with the sprinters' teams eyeing a bunch finish. And this they delivered, with Jasper Philipsen winning a fourth stage after a tricky finale.

Stage 12: Roanne to Belleville-en-Beaujolais (168.8km)

Hills return, with some steep, punchy ones towards the end

Just like stage ten, Thursday's stage 12 was a fast and frenetic affair on the road to Belleville-en-Beaujolais. A strong group of puncheur type riders eventually got up the road after the breakaway took more than 80 kilometres to form. Ion Izagirre (Cofidis) came out on top at the finish, soloing to the line after a big attack on the final climb of the day. 

Stage 13: Châtillon-Sur-Chalaronne to Grand Colombier (138km)

Welcome to the Alps, here's an hors categorie climb

Michał Kwiatkowski took an impressive solo victory on the summit finish of the Grand Colombier. The Polish rider caught and passed the remnants of the day's breakaway which included Great Britain's James Shaw to grab his second-ever Tour stage win. Behind the Ineos rider, Tadej Pogačar attacked and took eight seconds back on Jonas Vingegaard in the fight for the yellow jersey. 

Stage 14: Annemasse to Morzine Les Portes du Soleil (151.8km)

Five categorised climbs, four of which are one and above. Ouch.

Carlos Rodríguez announced himself on his Tour de France debut on stage 14 with a career-defining victory in Morzine. While all eyes were on Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar, the Spaniard broke free on the descent of the Col de Joux Plane and descended as if on rails to the finish. 

Stage 15: Les Gets Les Portes du Soleil to Saint-Gervais-Mont-Blanc (179km)

Back to a summit finish, there is no escape at this Tour

The breakaway had its day at the summit of Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc. After dedicating his career to domestique duties, the victory went to Wout Poels (Bahrain Victorious), who launched a late attack on the steepest slopes and held off Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) to the line.

Stage 16: Passy to Combloux ITT (22.4km)

A time trial! But not a flat one

Stage 16 brought the fewest time trial kilometres at the Tour de France in 90 years. On the uphill test to Combloux, Jonas Vingegaard proved the strongest , and by quite a way, too. The Dane's winning margin of 1-38 over Tadej Pogačar left him in the driving seat to taking his second Tour title.

Stage 17: Saint-Gervais-Mont-Blanc to Courchevel (165.7km)

Back to  the proper mountains, and there will be no let up on the final Wednesday

The Queen stage brought a career-defining victory for Austrian Felix Gall (AG2R Citroën), but all eyes were on the GC battle, and the demise of Tadej Pogačar. The UAE Team Emirates rider cracked on the slopes of the Col de la Loze, losing almost six minutes to Jonas Vingegaard, and slipping to 7-35 in the overall standings.

Stage 18: Moûtiers to Bourg-en-Bresse (184.9km)

Two category four climbs on the road to a chicken-themed sprint

Denmark's Kasper Asgreen put in one of the best performances of the race to grab his first-ever Tour victory . The Soudal Quick-Step rider was part of a four man breakaway that managed to hold on all the way to the line by just a handful of seconds ahead of the peloton.

Stage 19: Moirans-en-Montagne to Poligny (172.8km)

Another sprint, maybe, or a heartbreaking chase which fails to bring the breakaway back

Matej Mohorič of Bahrain Victorious took an emotional victory in Poligny after a chaotic day of racing. The Slovenian rider launched an attack with Kasper Asgreen and Ben O'Connor on the final climb of the hilly stage before beating his breakaway compatriots in a three-up sprint for the line. It was Mohorič's third-ever Tour victory.

Stage 20: Belfort to Le Markstein Fellering (133.5km)

One last chance. Six categorised climbs, will it shake up the GC?

The race might be very near Germany at this point, but Belfort remained French after the Franco-Prussian War, unlike the territory the penultimate stage travels into. 

This is the last chance saloon for all teams and riders who aren’t sprinters, especially those with GC ambitions. However, it is not quite the task of the previous Alpine days, with the six categorised climbs not the most testing. Still, there will be a lot of people trying to make things happen.

Stage 21: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to Paris (115.1km)

The classic Parisian sprint. Lovely.

This will be the last time the Tour heads to Paris until at least 2025, so make the most of those shots of the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées. The classic procession will happen for the first 55km until the race hits the Champs for the first time 60km in. From that point on, anything goes, although that anything will probably be a bunch sprint.

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) won the Tour de France for the second  year in a row after finishing safely in the main field with his Jumbo-Visma teammates. Jordi Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe) sprinted to victory on the Champs-Elysées, beating green jersey Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) by less than a tyre width to take his first stage victory of the Tour de France.

Vingegaard topped the general classification with a 7:29 ahead of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and 10:56 on Pogačar’s teammate Yates.

Stage 20: Tour de France: Pogacar rebounds to take stage 20 victory as Vingegaard seals his second overall title / As it happened

Rebounding after a disastrous stage 17 on Col de la Loze, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) won the final mountain stage of the 2023 Tour de France. Crossing the line in third, with the same time, was Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) who is set to claim the overall victory for a second year, with just Sunday’s final parade stage to Paris left to race. Felix Gall (AG2R-Citroën) was second on the stage. Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), who delivered one final attack on his home roads to the delight of the huge crowds massing the roads, was caught on the final climb.

There were no changes in the top 3 on the general classification, Vingegaard, Pogačar and Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) are set to be on the final podium. Fourth on the stage, Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) moved up to fourth overall.

Stage 19: Tour de France: Mohoric outsprints Asgreen in drag race to stage 19 finish / As it happened

There was no rest and little recovery on a wickedly fast stage 19 of the Tour, where the winning breakaway took 100 kilometres to go clear. Three riders attacked from the 36-rider move, with Matej Mohorič giving Bahrain Victorious their third stage win after Pello Bilbao on stage 10 and Wout Poels on stage 15. The GC contenders all came in together almost 14 minutes behind.

Stage 18: Tour de France: Kasper Asgreen seizes stage 18 victory from all-day breakaway / As it happened

Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-QuickStep) won the closing sprint on stage 18 of the Tour de France to hold off his breakaway companions and a surging peloton. After 185 kilometres at the front of the race with Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny) and Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-QuickStep) and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X), it came down to the final 200 metres to secure the win for Asgreen, leaving Pascal Eenkhoorn (Lotto Dstny), who had bridged across 58km earlier, in second and Abrahamsen third. 

There were no changes in the general classification on the largely-flat stage between Moûtiers to Bourg-en-Bresse, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) remaining in yellow.

Stage 17:   Tour de France: Vingegaard dashes Pogacar's GC hopes on stage 17 across Col de la Loze / As it happened

Felix Gall (AG2R Citroën) attacked from a reduced front group with under 13km to go and held on for a solo victory across the Col de la Loze on stage 17 of the Tour de France. Race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) stamped his authority on the queen stage by dropping his main rival Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) on the final climb. Pogačar finished the stage 7:37 down – 5:45 behind Vingegaard – leaving him still in second place overall but a massive 7:35 back of the Dane.

Stage 16: Tour de France: Vingegaard removes all doubt, crushes Pogacar in stage 16 time trial / As it happened

After two weeks of racing for seconds, Jonas Vingegaard finally carved out a significant gap over second-placed Tadej Pogačar in the stage 16 time trial in Combloux. Vingegaard won the stage by 1 minute 38 seconds over his rival to extend his lead in the GC to 1:48.

Stage 15: Tour de France: Wout Poels blasts to blockbuster stage 15 solo victory / As it happened

The stalemate between Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) continued on the third mountainous day in a row at the Tour de France. The duo marked each other’s attacks on the final climb to Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc and ultimately crossed the finish line together. Attacking from the break, Wout Poels (Bahrain Victorious) won stage 15 after an 11km solo ride to to claim his first Tour de France stage win.

Stage 14: Tour de France: Carlos Rodríguez strikes for win on stage 14 as Vingegaard gains valuable second on Joux Plane / As it happened

Rivals Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) continued their intense battle on the final climb on stage 14 of the Tour de France with the yellow jersey Vingegaard gaining one second in an evenly matched duel. Both riders used their respective teams to dispatch all the other riders before fighting it out on the Col de la Joux Plane. Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers) took advantage of the situation to fly down the descent to take the win in Morzine, and move up to third overall.

Stage 13: Tour de France: Kwiatkowski wins stage 13 on Grand Colombier as Pogacar closes in on yellow / As it happened

The Tour de France overall standings remained neck-and-neck between leader Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar on stage 13, the second hors-categorie summit finish of the race. Michał Kwiatkowski (Ineos) won the stage from the breakaway, while UAE Team Emirates burned up the team to set up Pogačar. Vingegaard was on guard and fended his rival off until the final metres, losing eight seconds total but keeping the maillot jaune.

Stage 12:   Tour de France: Ion Izagirre secures solo victory on frantic stage 12 / As it happened

Ion Izagirre (Cofidis) won stage 12 of the Tour de France with a solo attack 30km from the line in Belleville-en-Beaujolais. His long-range breakaway rewarded the Basque rider with his second career Tour win, the last one coming in 2016. Mathieu Burgaudeau (TotalEnergies) outsprinted Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) 58 seconds back to complete the podium. 

The hectic first half of the hilly 168.8km stage saw lots of attack, including Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) who was rewarded as the most combative rider. There were no changes between the top GC leaders, with Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) still in yellow and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) in second and in the best young rider jersey.

Stage 11: Tour de France: Jasper Philipsen flies to fourth sprint victory on stage 11 / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) showed more blistering speed, proving himself the best sprinter of the Tour de France on stage 11 to Moulins even without any lead-out from Mathieu van der Poel.

It was a squeaky clean sprint from the Belgian who has endured a flood of hate-mail about his previous sprints.

Daniel Oss (TotalEnergies) was the day's sole breakaway rider and caught with 13km to go. The GC standings remained the same as all of the contenders finished in the peloton.

Stage 10: Tour de France: Pello Bilbao scorches sprint from breakaway to win stage 10 / As it happened

Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) out-sprinted Georg Zimmerman (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) and Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën) to win stage 10 of the Tour de France on a sizzlingly-hot day. The Spaniard was part of the day's breakaway that brought six riders into Issoire, where he claimed the first stage victory of his career.

The breakaway gained 2:53 on the group containing race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), rival Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) third-placed Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) to keep the top four in the GC standings the same.

Stage 9: Tour de France: Michael Woods triumphs with stage 9 victory atop Puy de Dôme / As it happened

The Tour de France reached the mythical ascent of the Puy de Dôme at the finish of stage 9 where Michael Woods (Israel Premier Tech) triumphed with the day's victory after being part of a large breakaway that gained upwards of 15 minutes on the main GC contenders during the stage.

On the upper slopes of the ascent, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) then surged with 1.5km to go, to put valuable seconds into Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). Vingegaard now leads Pogačar by 17 seconds in the battle for the yellow.

Stage 8: Tour de France: Mads Pedersen beats Jasper Philipsen to win crash-marred stage 8 / As it happened

Stage 8 was a highly anticipated day for the puncheurs, even so, Mark Cavendish had his sights set on a 35th career stage win at the Tour de France, but it wasn't meant to be as the Manxman crashed with 60km to go and forced to abandon the event.

In a chaotic finish to the hilly run-in to Limoges, which saw a late-race crash take down Simon Yates (Jayco AlUla), Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) stormed to the victory in a close sprint ahead of Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma). Jonas Vingegaard finished safely in the field and carries the yellow jersey into stage 9 with a finish at Puy de Dôme.

Stage 7: Tour de France: Philipsen denies Cavendish, completes hat-trick in Bordeaux / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) blasted across the line in Bordeaux to win stage 7 of the Tour de France, winning by one bike length over Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan). Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) finished third in the sprint.

For Philipsen, it was his third victory of the three sprint stages in the first week of the 2023 race. He bolted down the main avenue and passed Cavendish in the closing 50 metres, holding the Manxman's attempt at a record 35th Tour stage win  at bay.

Stage 6: Tour de France: Tadej Pogacar claws back time with victory at Cauterets / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) won stage 6 with a massive attack across the final 2.7km and stormed back into the general classification mix. He distanced Jonas Vingegaard at the line at Cauterets by 24 seconds, while the Jumbo-Visma rider took the overall lead and yellow jersey away from Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe), who was 2:39 back in sixth place. 

Vingegaard now has a 25-second advantage over rival Pogačar, while Hindley held the third spot in the overall, 1:34 back, after the massive 144.9km climbing day in the Pyrenees. 

Stage 5: Tour de France: Jai Hindley wins stage 5 as Vingegaard drops Pogacar in Pyrenees / As it happened

The first of the Pyrenean stages at the Tour de France had the potential to shake up the general classification, and it did just that as Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) went on a day-long attack, won stage 5 into Laruns and took the yellow leader's jersey in the process.

Hindley moved into the overall race lead by 47 seconds ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and 1:03 on Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek), as Tadej Pogaçar (UAE Emirates) slipped to 6th now at 1:40 back.

Stage 4: Tour de France: Jasper Philipsen wins two in a row in crash-marred stage 4 / As it happened

There was no doubt who won stage 4 at the Tour de France, with Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) securing his second-consecutive sprint stage win in Nogaro. A day for the sprinters ended in carnage, however, as several riders crashed along the motor speedway circuit that hosted the finish.

There were no changes to the overall classification as Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) finished in the field at the end of the 181.8km stage and will wear the yellow leader's jersey into stage 5.

Stage 3 - Tour de France: Jasper Philipsen wins stage 3 after impressive lead-out from Mathieu van der Poel / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen  (Alpecin-Deceuninck) rocketed across the line in a bunch sprint in Bayonne to win stage 3 of the 2023 Tour de France. A half a wheel behind, Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) claimed second and Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Dstny) third.

All the general classification contenders, including Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) in the yellow jersey, finished safely in the field with no time changes after 193.5km from the hills of Spanish Basque territory to the roads of France.

Stage 2 - Tour de France: Victor Lafay gives Cofidis their first win since 2008 on stage 2 / As it happened

Victor Lafay (Cofidis) put in a stunning attack to claim stage 2 in San Sébastian. The Frenchman clipped off the front of a select group that formed after the Jaizkibel and stole the show from Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), who won the sprint for second.

Tadej Pogačar added to his tally with a time bonus for third and also won the five bonus seconds atop the Jaizkibel ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). His teammate Adam Yates held the lead by six seconds.

Stage 1 - Tour de France stage 1: Adam Yates wins ahead of twin brother Simon in Bilbao / As it happened

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) won stage 1 of the Tour de France in Bilbao, outsprinting his brother Simon Yates (Jayco-Alula)  after the duo escaped together after the final climb of the Pike. Adam Yates leads the general classification by 8 seconds over his brother, and 18 seconds over his teammate Tadej Pogačar who finished third on the stage.

Enric Mas (Movistar) abandoned the stage after crashing with Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) with 23km to go. Carapaz ultimately crossed the line, over 15 minutes from Adam Yates. Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) along with other contenders Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) and Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) are 22 seconds down overall.

Tour de France 2023 teams

The 2023 Tour de France will be made up of 22 teams, 18 WorldTour teams, the two top-ranked second-division teams, and two discretionary wild-card teams.

Tour de France 2023 schedule

Tour de france history.

Jonas Vingegaard is the reigning champion, having won his first Tour de France in 2022. The Danish rider denied Tadej Pogačar a trio of consecutive victories, the Slovenian having snatched the 2020 title before dominating the 2021 race. 

Pogačar himself 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.

Peter Sagan getting once dominated the green jersey for the points classification but has been usurped in the past three years, with Wout van Aert establishing himself as the dominant man of all terrains in 2022. Sagan still holds the all-time green jersey record with seven wins in nine participations. Erik Zabel's six jerseys lie second, ahead of Sean Kelly's four.

In addition to his yellow jersey, Vingegaard won the polka-dot jersey for the mountains classification in 2022, as Pogačar did the previous two years.  Richard Virenque holds the record for polka dot jersey wins at seven, and it won't be beaten anytime soon as Pogačar and Rafał Majka are the only current riders to have won more than one king of the mountains title, with two.

Pogačar has won the white jersey for best young rider three years in a row and, at 24, is still eligible for a fourth crack in 2023.

Tour de France 2024 : dans les Pyrénées, Saint-Lary travaille sur un site d'arrivée inédit pour l'avenir

• Mathieu Ferri
• France Bleu Occitanie ,
• France Bleu Béarn Bigorre

Le Tour de France revient au Pla d'Adet l'été prochain, là où Raymond Poulidor a gagné en 1974. Depuis, Saint-Lary a aussi ouvert le col de Portet, avec une première arrivée en 2018. Mais la commune des Hautes-Pyrénées travaille sur un autre site, encore plus haut !

Entre Saint-Lary-Soulan et le Tour de France, la belle histoire dure. La Grande Boucle revient dans la station des Hautes-Pyrénées le 13 juillet prochain, avec  une arrivée au Pla d'Adet . Là où le Tour est arrivé pour la première fois en 1974, avec la victoire d'étape mémorable de Raymond Poulidor, prenant le dessus sur le maillot jaune Eddy Merckx.

Jusqu'en 2014, les coureurs sont toujours arrivés au Pla d'Adet, avec notamment les succès de grands noms comme Joop Zoetemelk en 1975, Lucien Van Impe par deux fois (1976 et 1981), ou encore Mariano Martinez (le grand-père de Lenny) en 1978. Dernier vainqueur en date : Rafael Majka en 2014.

Mais en 2018 , révolution : le Tour monte plus haut ! Arrivée inédite au col de Portet, dont la route a été goudronnée. Un site majestueux à 2.215 mètres d'altitude , après 17 kilomètres de montée. Le Colombien Nairo Quintana est le premier vainqueur au sommet, le 25 juillet 2018. Puis, en 2021, Tadej Pogacar s'impose avec le maillot jaune sur les épaules.

Encore plus haut que le col de Portet

Mais 2.215 mètres, ce n'est pas encore assez haut pour le maire de Saint-Lary-Soulan. André Mir confie au micro de France Bleu que la commune travaille à un autre site d'arrivée dans les années futures, dans le prolongement du col de Portet.

" Je ne voudrais pas trahir de secret, mais c'est vrai qu'on travaille pour faire en sorte que cette arrivée au col du Portet soit encore améliorée, optimisée, avec peut-être la possibilité d'arriver jusqu'au sommet de Tourette qui est le point culminant de la station".

Tourette, c'est 2.400 mètres d'altitude . Et le site est accessible par un télésiège. Ce qui peut compter un jour d'arrivée du Tour, pour faciliter l'accès et l'évacuation du public et des suiveurs. Pour l'instant, il n'y a pas de route après le col de Portet, mais seulement une piste caillouteuse.

Et côté sportif, André Mir y voit aussi un grand intérêt : " il y a   effectivement un dénivelé qui risque de faire de sacrés dégâts, même chez les meilleurs grimpeurs. Ce n'est qu'un projet, mais il va falloir convaincre bien sûr les services de l'État, mais également ASO (la société organisatrice du Tour) puisque ce sont quand même eux qui sont décisionnaires à ce niveau-là".

Stage Detail

Florence > Rimini

It’s rare for the Tour de France to start with more than 3,600 metres of climbing – in fact it’s never happened before! – and it’s also the first time that the race has visited the home city of Gino Bartali. The succession of hills in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna are likely to be the setting for an immediate and testing confrontation between the contenders for the title, particularly the climb into San Marino (7.1km at 4.8%), where the race will add a 13th name to its catalogue of foreign visits.

Cesenatico > Bologna

The passage across the Emilia-Romagna region is straightforward enough to begin with as it takes the peloton to Imola and its famous motor racing circuit. The final part of the stage, featuring the climb to the Sanctuary of San Luca (1.9km at 10.6%), the traditional finale of the Giro dell’Emilia, which will be tackled twice in the final 40km, offers fertile terrain for the peloton’s puncheurs.

Piacenza > Turin

The sprinters will have started the 2024 Tour with their teeth gritted, but now they’ll have something to sink them into with the finish in Turin. Prior to that, the peloton will pay a passing tribute to Fausto Coppi by heading through Tortone, where il campionissimo died. By that point, though, the sprinters’ domestiques will already be hard at work, their focus on ensuring a sprint finale. There’ll be little room for manoeuvre for the breakaway riders.

Pinerolo > Valloire

The race leaves Italy after a long climb to the resort of Sestrières, where Coppi triumphed in 1952, the border subsequently reached at the Col de Montgenèvre. Then, after ascending the Lautaret pass, the riders will tackle the 2,642-metre Galibier. This will be the first opportunity for the favourites to test themselves in the high mountains.

Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne > Saint-Vulbas

The race’s temporary exit from the Alps will be made via Chambéry. Soon after, the peloton will be in La Bridoire, where the finish of the Classique des Alpes Juniors is regularly held. That’s a race for climbers, but they won’t get a look-in here as they head for Saint-Vulbas. After the Côte de l’Huis, tackled with 34km remaining, the wide roads beyond will be ideal for keeping a close eye on the breakaway riders. The winner’s bouquet looks destined to go to a sprinter.

Mâcon > Dijon

Fans of medieval architecture will be treated to aerial images of Cluny Abbey and much more. The breakaway will set off with the ambition of holding off the peloton’s pursuit though the vineyards of the Côte Chalonnaise, but the sprinters should have the last word on the 800-metre straight into the prefecture of the Côte-d’Or.

Nuits-Saint-Georges > Gevrey-Chambertin

Individual time-trial

Great wines for great riders! But before venturing into the heart of the vineyards, the time trial specialists will spend almost two-thirds of this time trial on forest roads. The climb of the Côte de Curtil-Vergy (1.6km at 6.1%), which comes in the final section, will test their tolerance to pain. On the face of it, there shouldn’t be any big gaps between the best riders, but who knows?

Semur-en-Auxois > Colombey-les-deux-Églises

Although no altitude records will be broken, the first two-thirds of this stage does feature five categorised climbs. The relentless ups and downs may put a strain on the legs at the point when the sprinters’ team-mates are starting to think about setting up a bunch finish. But the last three kilometres of the final straight, which rise slightly but steadily, could be the ideal place to bring the peloton back together.

Troyes > Troyes

The Tour’s first week concludes with a new feature: white roads, which are already an emblematic feature of Strade Bianche and Paris-Tours. The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift made the first passage across Champagne’s gravel roads close to Troyes in 2022. There will be 14 sectors, including six in the final part of the stage, extending to 32km in total, each sector pitching the riders onto the gravel and into the dust.

Orléans > Saint-Amand-Montrond

Heading through the Sologne forest, it’ll be difficult to predict the outcome of this stage, as the weather may play a significant role. After leaving Issoudun, the riders will find themselves on roads exposed to the crosswinds that scattered the peloton a decade ago. With three changes of direction in the last 30 kilometres, there’s a real chance of echelons forming.

Évaux-les-Bains > Le Lioran

There’s only one stage across the rugged Massif Central, but what a stage it is! With 4,350 metres of vertical gain, the riders will have to be on their mettle at all times, and particularly in the final 50 kilometres, when the degree of difficulty rises a level with a series of very challenging obstacles: the climb to the Col de Néronne, then to the Puy Mary Pas de Peyrol with its fearsome final two kilometres, then continuing on to the Col de Pertus, the Col de Font de Cère and the ascent to Le Lioran. They provide all manner of opportunities for eager climbers to attack.

Aurillac > Villeneuve-sur-Lot

The aesthetic landscapes of the Cantal and Lot regions won’t distract the baroudeurs (breakaway specialists) from the knowledge that there’s something for them to play for. The terrain here is all hills, with the climb to Rocamadour standing out – it’ll be tackled in the opposite direction to the route taken by the 2022 Tour time trial. The second part of the stage is more suited to the sprinters’ teams that are set on chasing the break down. However, on two previous and similar stages into Villeneuve-sur-Lot, the breakaway managed to hold off its pursuers.

The Lot-et-Garonne serves up some lovely balcony roads early in the stage, when the formation of the breakaway will be closely monitored by the sprinters’ teams, who will have studied the route carefully. If they judge their effort correctly, they won’t be caught out by the day’s escapees. However, amidst the hilly terrain approaching the finish, the Blachon and Simacourbe climbs could pose a problem for those sprinters who don’t feel comfortable in the hills.

Pau > Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d’Adet

The dynamic format of the first Pyrenean stage is accentuated by the fact that battle is unlikely to commence until the riders have gone through Lourdes. From that point, with 80 kilometres remaining, there’ll be a festival of climbing, featuring the Col du Tourmalet, the Hourquette d’Ancizan and the climb to Pla d’Adet. Fifty years on, the finish line will be exactly where it was when Raymond Poulidor celebrated victory in the 1974 Tour.

Loudenvielle > Plateau de Beille

The third Sunday of the Tour could prove crucial. Whatever’s happened on the previous days in the mountains, the terrain on this stage is ripe for revenge or confirmation, with 4,850 metres of vertical gain on the menu over almost 200 kilometres of racing. All manner of scenarios could play out, and it’s not unrealistic to imagine that team-mates of the GC contenders will attempt to infiltrate the breakaway climbing the Peyresourde. That would prove invaluable given what lies ahead, especially in a finale that features the climbs of the Col d’Agnes and the Port de Lers followed by the final haul up to Plateau de Beille.

Gruissan > Nimes

The sprinters may be heavily tipped for success when the race heads away from the coast near Narbonne, and maybe even when the riders pass over the Pic Saint-Loup. But the Mistral can blow fiercely at this time of year and could well upset the plans of the sprinters if those teams that feel at home when it’s windy end up scattering the peloton.

Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux > Superdévoluy

As the race homes in on the southern Alps, there will be no significant obstacles crossing the Drôme. The tests beyond that, though, are likely to encourage the formation of a large breakaway group, whose members will have a chance to shine, assuming they can deal with the climbs in the final 40 kilometres. We’ll get a clearer idea of this on the ascent of the Col Bayard, although the final selection should be made on the Col du Noyer (7.5km at 8.4%), with the final decision coming on the approach to the Superdévoluy ski station.

Gap > Barcelonnette

The altimeter drops temporarily, although the sprinters will still have to go right to their limits in order to claim the final bouquet within their grasp. That’s down to the fact that once the peloton has admired Lake Serre-Ponçon, the day’s attackers will have a few hills to exploit as they seek to maintain their lead. A strong puncheur might be able to go clear on the Côte de Saint-Apollinaire, and they’ll even more opportunity to do so on the Côte des Demoiselles Coiffées.

Embrun > Isola 2000

The menu for this ultra-mountain stage could well make you dizzy, but it’ll also whet the appetite of the very best climbers. Although the stage is less than 150km long, the riders will climb above 2,000 metres on three occasions, the biggest test the climb to the summit of La Bonette, the highest road in France at an altitude of 2,802 metres. Its 360-degree panorama is breath-taking.

Nice > Col de la Couillole

The Paris-Nice regulars will be racing over familiar terrain, but that won’t make things any easier if the contest for the Yellow Jersey is still raging, particularly over such a short distance. Battle could commence as early as the climb to the Col de Braus. There will then be no respite on the climbs of the Cols de Turini, de la Colmiane and finally de la Couillole, the final ascent extending for 15.7km at an average gradient of 7.1%. We’ll all be holding our breath!

Monaco > Nice

Everyone remembers the last occasion the Tour finished with a time trial, when Greg LeMond stripped the yellow jersey from the shoulders of Laurent Fignon on the Champs-Élysées in 1989, by just eight seconds. Thirty-five years on, we can but dream of a similar duel, involving two or three riders, an authentic athletic confrontation whose outcome would determine the final podium of the 111th edition, and the first to finish far from its familiar Parisian setting, the ultimate finale destined for Place Masséna, just a few pedal-strokes from the Promenade des Anglais.

Five key stages of the 2024 Tour de France

T he 2024 Tour de France will feature an atypical but fascinating route. For the first time, the race will kick off in Italy and end in Nice rather than Paris. 

The 25th foreign Grand Départ in the 120-year history of the Tour de France means that the race has started in every country bordering France aside from Andorra.

The 2024 Paris Olympics has also necessitated moving the final stage south to Nice, the first time the race has finished outside Paris and for an extra dramatic twist, the race concludes with a time trial for the first time in 35 years.

It'll be a Tour de France route far from the usual, then, although all the same ingredients that make the race what it is: high mountains, hills, time trials, and this year gravel – make up the 21 stages.

Full details of all the headline stages, barring the stage 7 time trial, have been unveiled and we've pored through the route to highlight five of the key stages of the 2024 Tour de France.

Stage 4: Pinerolo – Valloire, 138km

A Grand Départ in Tuscany , taking in several hilly stages en route to Turin and the French border mean a special treat for fans, as the race hits the high mountains just four days into the race.

Any riders who aren't quite in top shape at the start, or who have suffered with illness, form, or crashes in Italy, won't welcome the long drag to Sestriere (39.9km at 3.7%), the Col de Montgenèvre (8.3km at 5.9%) and of course the Col du Galibier (23km at 5.1%).

The climbs aren't new to the Tour, of course, with Sestriere last featuring in 2011 and the Galibier featuring on back-to-back days two years ago – when Jumbo-Visma piled the pain on Tadej Pogačar before Tom Pidcock put on his stunning descending display .

Any yellow jersey earthquakes such as the Jonas Vingegaard display we saw on stage 11 in 2022 are unlikely at this early stage in the race, but with two climbs over 2,000 metres as early as stage 4 – the Galibier peaks at over 2,600 metres – there are bound to be some GC casualties.

At just 138km and with a descent to the finish in Valloire, the stage looks tailor-made for an audacious breakaway as the GC men battle behind.

We've already seen Ineos Grenadiers' Tom Pidcock show what he can do on the way down the Galibier – could he repeat the feat in 2024? 

It might be tough to get the leeway to do the same next July but we'll no doubt witness some stunning feats of descending once again on the flowing and picturesque road down the famous climb.

Names including Fausto Coppi, Eddy Merckx, Luis Ocaña, and Marco Pantani have all led the Tour over the Galibier in the past. It'll be another special name which does the same on July 19 next year.

Stage 9: Troyes - Troyes, 199km

With the Tour taking the long way around France to the Pyrenees, the race enters something of a lull after crossing the border into France via the Galibier. Sprint and transitional stages, as well as the 25km stage 7 time trial lead the way to the next major climbing day at Le Lioran on stage 10.

However, Tour organisers have disrupted the race narrative up by throwing a big chunk of gravel into the mix, with stage 9 hosting 32.2km of the rough stuff spread over 14 sectors around Troyes.

Remco Evenepoel and team managers including Jumbo-Visma's Richard Plugge and Soudal-QuickStep's Patrick Lefevere have questioned the inclusion of gravel on the Tour route. However, there's no doubt that the stage will be a spectacle to behold, even if luck is set to play a part on the day.

"We had to come up with something clever," Tour route planner Thierry Gouvenou recently said of the routing across the mountain-free mid-section of the country.

That has resulted in the mix of hills – 2,000 metres of elevation – and white gravel tracks reminiscent of Strade Bianche that make up stage 9.

Those roads around Troyes featured in the Tour de France Femmes two years ago, with just 12.9km of gravel bringing high drama and chaos to the peloton. 

With almost three times as much awaiting the riders in the men's race next summer, there's bound to be more of the same, even if debates about luck, fairness, and safety are bound to rear their heads.

Notable recent Grand Tour dalliances with gravel roads have included the legendary slugfest to Montalcino at the 2010 Giro d'Italia , the 2021 Giro's stage 6, won by the late Gino Mäder, and the gravel peak at the Montèe de Plateau des Glières at the 2020 Tour.

Those stages, as well as races including Strade Bianche and Paris-Tours, suggest that stage 9 of the 2024 Tour will be one of the highlights of the race.

Stage 14: Pau – Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet, 152km

After early appointments at the Galibier and the mid-mountains at Le Lioran in the Massif Central on stage 10, the 14th stage of the race brings the first major summit finish of the race as the peloton hit the Pyrenees.

The finish at Pla d'Adet is the first of four summit finishes of the race, with two apiece featuring in the southern mountain range and the Alps in the east.

At 152km, stage 14 is the shorter of the two Pyrenean days by 47km, and it also features fewer climbs. However, the day brings three climbs back-to-back-to-back with little let-up in contrast to the long spells on the valley roads during stage 15.

For that reason, we've marked it as the one to watch in the Pyrenees, with the triple header of the Col du Tourmalet (19km at 7.4%), the Hourquette d'Ancizan (8.2km at 5.1%), and the finisher at Pla d'Adet (10.6km at 7.9%) sure to host a major GC showdown.

The Tourmalet is a well-known quantity at this point, featuring as it does for the fourth time in six years and the 84th time in Tour history. It should serve as a perfect stage to weaken tired legs or even for a certain team to push the pace if a rival falls behind early.

The path up the Hourquette d'Ancizan is one less well-trodden. The climb is on the route for only the sixth time, having made its debut in 2011. Once again, it's unlikely to host the decisive moment in the stage, more laying the groundwork for the final climb.

When the riders get to Pla d'Adet, they'll see the hardest test of the day up ahead of them with double-digit gradients welcoming them in the early stages of the climb to the line and uneven gradients ranging between 7% and 9% the rest of the way, barring a 2km spell at around 5% towards the top.

With plenty of hard stages left on the docket, the 2024 Tour might not be won on Pla d'Adet, but it can certainly be lost on this stage.

Stage 19: Embrun – Isola 2000, 145km

A backloaded Tour de France route means that there's a lot to look forward to in the last week.

A testing mountainous stage 17 to Superdévoluy gives way to a day in the hills on the road to Barcelonnette and then the final two big mountain tests – Isola 2000 on stage 19 and then the four-mountain 133km stage to the Col de la Couillole on the penultimate day.

We've gone with stage 19, the final day in the high mountains, as our pick for the fourth key stage of the 2024 Tour. 

It might have fewer climbs (three vs four) and less climbing (4,500 metres vs 4,700) by comparison with stage 20, but three ascents above the 2,000-metre mark bring with them a huge chance to upend the general classification.

The high point of the Tour, the 2,802-metre Cime de la Bonette (22.9km at 6.9%) is back on the race for the first time since John-Lee Augustyn led the race over the top before crashing on the descent back in 2008. Previous riders to lead over the summit include Philippa York and Federico Bahamontes.

The Col du Vars (18.8km at 5.7%) leads into that monstrous climb, with a very long descent then leading into the final climb of the day to the finish at the ski resort of Isola 2000.

The 16.1km climb measures in at an average of 7.1%, with the hardest sections coming early and in the middle before gradients of 5-6% in the second half as the altitude will no doubt take its toll.

Once again, the climb is a lesser used one at the Tour, last featured on the route in 2008 and 1993, the latter hosting a finish as Tony Rominger beat Miguel Indurain to the line for the second of his three stage wins that year.

Back then, the Spaniard was in yellow and on the way to his third Tour win with a comfortable margin of over three minutes to second-placed Alvaro Mejia. 

Let's hope that the GC isn't as settled when the riders hit Isola 2000 next July.

Stage 21: Monaco – Nice, 34km

An atypical Tour de France concludes in an atypical way. Does anyone remember the last time the Tour concluded with a time trial?

The 1989 battle between Greg Lemond and Laurent Fignon is surely by now seared into the mind of any Tour de France fan, and next year race organisers have taken the brave step of attempting to recapture that magic with the first stage 21 time trial since.

Everyone watching the Tour next July will be keeping their fingers crossed for something approaching the same level of drama in Nice on July 21. Will the top favourites of Jonas Vingegaard, Tadej Pogačar , Remco Evenepoel, and Primož Roglič be within striking distance of each other after 20 days of racing?

If they are then they'll have over 700 metres of climbing packed into this 34km run from Monaco to Nice to contend with.

A short flat run to get things underway soon gives way to the 8.1km, 5.6% climb to La Turbie, before a short descent and a short but sharp ascent to the Col d'Eze (1.6km at 8.1%). With 10km of climbing coming in the opening 17km of the TT, all eyes will be on equipment selection and possible bike changes.

The closing half of the race is a speedster's dream, with 7km of flat roads mixed in with a 9km descent down the Col d'Eze. From the climbing to the descents, the potential for high drama runs all the way through this finishing stage.

Perhaps for the first time since that epic day in 1989, the closing stage of the Tour de France is a must-watch stage, and for that reason, it's our final key stage of the 2024 Tour.

Tour de France 2023 : Victor Lafay brise le sortilège et s’octroie la première victoire française

Le Français a remporté, dimanche à Saint-Sébastien, la deuxième étape en surprenant les favoris dont Wout van Aert et Tadej Pogacar, et offre à Cofidis son premier succès sur le Tour depuis quinze ans.

Contrairement à 2022, il ne faudra pas attendre l’antépénultième étape pour obtenir un succès tricolore sur le Tour de France . Dimanche 2 juillet, Victor Lafay (Cofidis) s’est chargé de débloquer le compteur des locaux, s’adjugeant la deuxième journée de cette 110 e  édition de l’épreuve, à Saint-Sébastien (Espagne).

La veille, le coureur de 27 ans avait déjà été le seul à pouvoir prendre les roues de Jonas Vingegaard et de Tadej Pogacar, lorsque les deux derniers vainqueurs de la Grande Boucle avaient décidé de s’extirper dans la côte de Pike. Cette fois, il a fait mieux, coiffant tous les prétendants au classement général sur les bords de la plage de Zurriola – dans une ville qui réussit bien aux Français puisque Dominique Arnould s’y était aussi imposé, en 1992.

Bien calé au fond d’un groupe de vingt-quatre, Victor Lafay a surpris tout le monde en s’échappant sous la flamme rouge, les fesses collées à la selle. « Je savais que ça attaquerait à la fin, je me suis dit : “Je fais le kilomètre.” J’ai vu que ça ralentissait un peu et j’y suis allé » , détaillait-il après l’arrivée. Il a résisté jusqu’au dernier moment au retour des favoris, réglés au sprint par Wout van Aert – déçu par sa deuxième place au point de frapper son guidon de rage – et Tadej Pogacar. « J’ai pensé : “Je vais me faire bouffer, je vais me faire bouffer !” A aucun moment, je me suis dit que c’était fait » , disait Victor Lafay en plaisantant, quelques minutes après son triomphe.

En 2022, pour son premier Tour de France, le Lyonnais avait abandonné au cours de la 13 e  étape à cause de difficultés respiratoires. Grâce à « une attaque préméditée » , de son propre aveu, il s’est offert une revanche et son premier succès pour cette épreuve. Le plus beau de son palmarès, qui compte trois autres victoires, dont une sur le Tour d’Italie. « C’est juste incroyable. La dimension d’une victoire sur le Tour va, forcément, me faire “exploser”, mais il faut que je garde la tête froide » , savourait l’intéressé en conférence de presse.

« Délivrance » pour Cofidis, après quinze ans de disette

Son numéro du jour lui permet de grimper à la quatrième place du classement général, à 12 secondes du leader, Adam Yates, de se parer du maillot vert du meilleur sprinteur, et confirme son week-end remarquable. Une prouesse nourrie par les regrets de la veille : « Hier, j’étais vraiment frustré, j’avais les jambes pour gagner ou en tout cas jouer devant, d’autant plus qu’il y avait le maillot jaune en jeu donc je l’avais un peu en travers [de la gorge] . »

"From Vermeer to Van Gogh" at the Carrières des Lumières in Baux-de-Provence

Until December 31, 2023

To approach the genius of the Dutch masters of painting through a digital creation, a true immersion in nature and the subjects that inspired them, this is what the long program of the Carrières des Lumières in Les Baux-de-Provence, in Provence, proposes throughout 2023. From Vermeer to Van Gogh via Rembrandt, Hendrick Avercamp or Jan Steen, the exhibition projects visitors into a fascinating world of color and chiaroscuro. Painting light and its atmosphere is the main theme of the exhibition in the extraordinary quarries of Baux-de-Provence. Direct or subdued, cold or sunny, it reveals the facades, the intimacy of the homes, whilst inviting introspection or contemplation. Truly magical!

"Living Memory" at the Musée de la Romanité in Nîmes

From April 21 to December 31, 2023

For the first time since its inauguration in June 2018, the Musée de la Romanité in Nîmes, Occitanie, is exploring the link between antiquity and the present world. For this archaeology museum with its daring architecture and scenography, it is an opportunity to highlight its archaeological collections linking contemporary and digital together. Carte blanche was given to the artist Olivier Laric to show that the works are more alive than ever, especially in a world marked by the digital revolution and the use of the Internet which finds a new place, a new value and a new function. Instructive as well as comforting.

"Souvenir d'Alsace, Charles Fréger" at the Musée Alsacien in Strasbourg

*From 9 June 2023 to 1 April 2024

Situated on the banks of the Ill in Strasbourg, the Musée Alsacien, with its distinctive half-timbered façades, is a key site for the transmission of the region's identity. So it's not surprising that Charles Fréger, a renowned contemporary photographer, chose this place to present four years of work on the question of Alsatian identity and the propaganda in force between 1870 and 1918. A total of 80 photographs, ceramics, embroidery, glass, illustrations and films make up this unique exhibition.

"Popular costumes and haute couture" at the Mucem in Marseille

From July 12 to November 6, 2023

Since Paul Poiret, the great French couturier and perfumer of the 20th century, fashion designers such as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Lacroix and Jean-Paul Gaultier have never ceased to be interested in the forms and imaginary world of regional and traditional costumes. Through an exhibition full of colors and materials, rich in history and customs, the Mucem in Marseille, Provence highlights the correspondences, borrowings and creative processes deployed by the designers. The textile collections of the Mucem as well as loans from numerous French and foreign museums (Palais Galliera, Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, Musée de Quimper, Musée Yves Saint Laurent - Paris, Musée de la Mode de Marseille, Musée Municipal de Bucarest) truly serve as a framework.

"Aya Takano, Nouvelle mythologie" at the Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon

*From 22nd September 2023 to 7th January 2024

An international painter represented by the Perrotin Gallery, illustrator and manga artist Aya Takano is a leading figure in the superflat art movement inspired by Japanese culture. Almost 20 years after her first exhibition, the Musée d'Art Contemporain de Lyon is back this autumn with a retrospective of several of her masterpieces, as well as works shown for the first time. Between impertinence and eroticism, the exhibition "Nouvelle mythologie" questions the oppositions between the natural and the artificial, the feminine and the masculine. An unsettling exhibition!

"Fantastic animals" at the Louvre-Lens in Hauts-de-France

*From 27 September 2023 to 15 January 2024.

Snakes, dragons, unicorns - animals play a significant role in many of today's best-selling literary works, such as Harry Potter and Games of Thrones. But their authors were not the first artists to give prominence to these creatures of the imagination. What role do animals play in the history of art? How are they represented? What links do human beings have with animals? The Musée du Louvre Lens attempts to answer these questions at its autumn exhibition, featuring 250 sculptures, paintings, objets d'art and film extracts. Fascinating.

"Suzanne Valadon: Un monde à soi" at the Nantes Museum of Art

With 130 paintings, the Musée d'Arts de Nantes celebrates the work of Suzanne Valadon. The muse of Auguste Renoir and Henri de Toulouse Lautrec in her early years, the artist known as "Maria" soon developed a passion for drawing and a favourite subject: nudes, both male and female, which highlight the fragility of the body in the midst of everyday life. The exhibition also reveals this daring artist's penchant for painting. Visitors will discover a body of work influenced by the Pont-Aven School and the use of bright colours. Between portraits and works by contemporary artists, this exhibition shows the true place of Suzanne Valadon's work in the history of art.
