We're into the final day of this year's race, so a Tour de France stage 21 live stream is going to be a hot ticket if you want to watch the riders make their final journey into Paris. The Tour de France is free-to-air on ITVX (UK) and SBS On-Demand (AUS) . Make sure you know how to watch for free with a VPN from anywhere .

The 2023 Tour de France is coming to an end and stage 21 is the final chance for the sprinters to battle it out on Paris' most famous avenue, the Champs Élysées. All of the jerseys are wrapped up so we should see the typical champagne-filled procession in and around Paris.

The final stage begins at the Velodrome de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines before setting off on the journey back into Paris where yellow jersey winner, Jonas Vingegaard, will no doubt enjoy some champagne on the road with his teammates. Once they hit the city, the peloton will pass the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre multiple times before the wind-up for the final sprint begins. Alpecin-Deceuninck have been the best leadout unit at the 2023 Tour, with Jasper Philipsen winning four flat sprints. The flying Belgian should have Mathieu van der Poel and co. working to bring him to the final trip up the Champs Élysées safely before he looks to win the final Tour stage for the second year running. Groenewegen was closest to him last year and will be one of the other sprinters left after a brutal Tour trying to dethrone the green jersey wearer. 

With one final stage remaining, it’s helpful to know there are plenty of channels around the world broadcasting Tour de France 2023 live streams to help you keep up with the last bit of action. Here's how to watch stage 21 of the Tour de France 2023 .

Tour de France stage 21: the route

Stage 21: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to Paris Champs-Élysées (Sunday, July 23) The final stage of the 2023 Tour de France is the typical processional stage in and around Paris. It starts at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome which will play host to the track cycling at next year's Olympic Games, before looping back east towards the French capital. The 115.1km route is incredibly flat and only has one category four climb, but that won't threaten Giulio Ciccone's lead of the polka-dot classification. It's all set for the sprinters' royale on the Champs-Élysées with the fast men and leadouts ready to fight for position and battle for the win after completing nine laps of the Parisian circuit. The long finishing road on Paris's most famous avenue has long played host to the final Tour and was last won by Jasper Philipsen, holder of the green jersey, who will be the favourite for the day. 

We recommend VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example

1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service) 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad

2021 Tour de France live stream: How to watch Stage 19 of the race online

A guide on watching the 2021 Tour de France on TV and how to stream the cycling event online

2021 Tour de France live stream: how to watch online

The 2021 Tour de France coverage is almost over, concluding with Stage 21 on Sunday, July 18. It began on Saturday, June 26. Race coverage begins at around at 6 a.m. ET on Peacock and NBCSN. Full schedule of stages below.

The excitement is almost over, as the 2021 Tour de France live streams finish this Sunday, with Stage 21. That said, everything feels final for the overall winner seems obvious. Yesterday, Stage 18 saw Tadej Pogacar win and keep the yellow jersey, solidifying the fact that he's likely winning the whole thing.

Today, on the 207km route to Libourne, most eyes will be on a pair chasing at the points. Michael Matthews (from Australia, representing Team BikeExchange), is on the tail of Mark Cavendish (of Great Britain and Team Deceuninck-Quick Step).

Going into today, Cavendish had a 38-point advantage, and with 20 points on the line, Matthews could get closer to that green jersey. That said, Cavendish is one stage win away from breaking Eddy Merck's record, so we doubt he'll be giving anyone a chance.

The three-week race is now live, with 184 riders in 23 teams, pedaling through 21 stages, including three summit finishes and two individual time trials. The strongest all-around rider will emerge victorious at the end.

The 2021 Tour de France is following its usual summer schedule, after last year's edition was delayed to the fall due to the coronavirus pandemic. That means it's been only nine months since Tadej Pogacar won his first Tour de France. 

Favorites in this year's race include Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers).

Tour de France to begin in Italy for first time in 2024

Three opening stages cover northern swath from Florence to Turin

COPENHAGEN DENMARK JUNE 29 Detail view of a presenter during the Team Presentation of the 109th Tour de France 2022 at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen City TDF2022 on June 29 2022 in Copenhagen Denmark Photo by Stuart FranklinGetty Images

The Grand Départ of the 2024 Tour de France will take place in Italy for the first time in the 111th edition of the race. The first of three stages will begin in Florence on June 29. The Tour de France has visited Italy a number of times but never started in the ‘Stivale’ nation.

Christian Prudhomme, director of the Tour de France, made the announcement Wednesday on the TG Sport broadcast of RAI , disclosing information about the three opening road stages for the three-week Grand Tour. 

The opening stage will cover 205km from Florence to Rimini, on the shores of the Adriatic in Emilia-Romagna. Organisers said the trek through Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna would total 3,700 metres of elevation gain.

Stage 2 will run from Cesenatico for more climbing on the roads to Bologna that will cover 200km. The third stage will cover 225km from Piacenza to Turin for a sprint finish in the capital of Piedmonte.

Italian Grand Départ all but confirmed for 2024 Tour de France 2024 Tour de France will conclude with Nice time trial Overview of Tour de France 2023

It has been reported that an estimated €10 million fee raised by the Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna and Piemonte regions made funding possible for the 2024 Tour to take place in Italy. The start of stage 4 is expected to be in Pinerolo before the race heads into France via the Alps.

The trio of stages will celebrate the 100th year since the first Italian cyclist, Ottavio Bottecchia, won the overall title, doing so back to back in 1924 and 1925. Other Italian riders to have won the Tour include Gino Bartali, Riccardo Nencini, Marco Pantani and Fausto Coppi.

It will mark the third consecutive year for the Tour to hold the overall start outside French borders, the 2022 race beginning in Copenhagen, Denmark and next year’s Tour beginning in the Basque Country, with the team presentation outside the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao.

The 2024 Tour de France will be held a week earlier than usual, with a time trial in Nice on Sunday, July 21, to accommodate the Paris Olympic Games scheduled for between July 26 and August 11. 

It is the first time in history that the race will end outside of the Paris area. It will also be the first time that the Tour concludes with a time trial since Greg LeMond dramatically pipped Laurent Fignon on the Champs-Elysées in 1989.

2024 Tour de France To Begin In Italy And End In Nice

Starting the 2024 Tour de France in Florence will fix an "incongruity" and celebrate Italian cycling, race director Christian Prudhomme told AFP on Wednesday as he confirmed the first-ever Italian Grand Depart.

The 2024 Tour will start with three stages in Italy and, because of the Paris Olympics, will end in Nice, the first time since 1905 that it will not reach its climax on the streets of the capital.

"The Tour has started from all the countries bordering France," said Prudhomme who is in Italy until Friday to present the 26th Grand Depart from outside French borders, the third in a row after Copenhagen in 2022 and Bilbao in 2023.

"It has even started six times from the Netherlands, which has no common border with France. But it has never started from Italy.

"It's an incongruity that will disappear."

The first stage, on June 29, which Prudhomme describes as "a mid-mountain, or even mountain stage, with an elevation gain of 3,700 metres", takes the peloton from Florence over the Apennine mountains to Rimini on the Adriatic coast.

The second, cut out for the punchers, will start from the port town of Cesenatico, the hometown and resting place of 1998 winner Marco Pantani, and will go via Imola to Bologna.

The third is a sprinters' stage from Piacenza to Turin. The fourth stage will also start in Italy before finishing in France.

The Florence start will also be an opportunity to celebrate Italian cycling with 2024 marking the centenary of Ottavio Bottecchia's victory in the 1924 edition, the first by an Italian.

The first stage will pass the Gino Bartali museum, dedicated to the Tour winner of 1938 and 1948. It will also pass the resting place of another two-time champion Fausto Coppi.

"There is an obvious link with the legend of Italian cycling and its champions," said Prudhomme.

This Italian curtain raiser for the Tour comes 70 years after the first outside France in Amsterdam in 1954, and follows years of negotiations between the neighbouring countries so passionate about cycling.

The idea was reignited when former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi texted Prudhomme a photo of his city at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown in March 2020.

"In the midst of a pandemic, Matteo Renzi, the former mayor of Florence, texted me a photo of his city with this word: 'Florence empty, deserted but so beautiful. I haven't forgotten my dreams of the Grand Depart. After the pandemic, let's see'.

"It restarted the thing," said Prudhomme impatient to see the riders finally survey the "open-air museum of Florence, the banks of the Adriatic and the crossing of the Apennines".

The Tour de France is eternal, but 2024 packs plenty of firsts and plot-twists to deliver what should be a thrilling edition.

Not only are big hitters such as Jonas Vingegaard , Tadej Pogačar , Primož Roglič , and Remco Evenepoel expected to clash in a generational battle, the 111th edition of the French grand tour will deliver an interesting backdrop.

Early details reveal a varied and interesting route:

  • 3492km total
  • June 29 to July 21
  • Four territories (Italy, San Marino, France, Monte Carlo)
  • 7 mountain stages
  • 4 summit finishes
  • 32km of gravel roads

With the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris dictating the calendar, the men’s Tour de France — which will runs from June 29 to July 21 — will not finish in Paris as the riders head for Nice for a final-day time trial.

“We were committed to avoid Paris because of the Olympics,” Tour director Christian Prudhomme told Reuters . “There are only 28,000 police forces available and we knew we could not get more.”

Since its inception in 1903, the men’s race has always finished in Paris or its surrounding suburbs, and it has concluded on the Champs Élysées since 1975.

Also in a first, the race will start in Italy with the three opening stages.

Here are the key points:

‘Big Start’ in Italy for historical first

Italy Tour de France

After more than a century, the “big loop” will make its “Big Start” in Italy for the first time.

Stage 1 jumps right into it, with a road stage starting in Florence and ending in Rimini, with a detour through San Marino. The yellow jersey will be up for grabs, with sprinters like Mark Cavendish, Jasper Philipsen, and Wout van Aert will need to endure 3600m of climbing as the route climbs over the Apennines.

Stage 2 pays homage to Marco Pantani and runs from Cesenatico to Bologna will hit the famed San Luca climb in final hour of racing that could throw a spanner in the wheels of the sprinters.

Stage 3 runs across the flats from Piacenza to Torino in what is expected to be the first chance for the sprinters.

Week 1: Into France and up the Galibier

Jonas Vingegaard

The race’s three-day sojourn ends with stage 4 from Pinerolo to Valloire grinds up and over the Alps, including an assault of the HC Col du Galibier (23km at 5.1%).

“The Tour has never been so high so soon,” said Tour director Christian Prudhomme.

Stages 5 and 6 will see the sprinters see more chances as the race leaves the Alps only to return in the final weekend.

Stage 7 delivers a 25km individual time trial across the vineyards of Burgundy. The rolling course isn’t too long, and the GC will remain knotted up for anyone who’s survived the brutal first week.

Stage 8 from Semur-en-Auxois to Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises sees a string of climbs early in the undulating stages to set up a breakaway. 

The opening week closes with a challenging stage featuring no less than 14 sectors of gravel on 34km of racing in a loop around Troyes.

Stage 9 Tour de France 2024

Week 2: Pyrénées loom and a return of Plateau de Beille

Week 2 opens with a transition stage out of Orleans across the flats of central France and the Loire Valley that can be open to strong crosswinds.

Stage 11 dips into the Massif Central, with 4.350 of vertical gain, and the Néronne, the Puy Mary Pas de Peyrol, Pertus, and Font de Cère climbs stacked up late in the back half of the profile.

Stages 12 and 13 are, at least on paper, more chances for the sprinters, but midway into any Tour, breakaway chances increase by the kilometer.

Stage 14 Tour de France

The Tour’s first major mountaintop finale comes in stage 14 with Saint-Lary-Soulan deep in the Pyrénées, featuring the Col du Tourmalet midway through the stage.

Stage 15 sees a return to the Plateau de Beille (15.8km at 7.9%) in the Tour’s second-straight summit finale. Adding to the drama will be France’s Bastille Day, with six climbs and 4850m of vertical, fireworks are guaranteed.

Week 3: Alps and final-day TT decider

Despite a grueling opening two weeks, week three will crown the winner.

Stage 16 opens up the action in what’s likely another chance for the sprinters — who will see likely eight chances in this year’s edition — but the mistral heading into Nimes could prove tricky.

Stage 17 to Superdévoluy tiptoes into the Alps, and breakaway artists will have their chance to take centerstage with three moderate climbs stacked up in the final hour of racing. Another transition stage to Barcelonnette in stage 18 could deliver another breakaway.

stage 19 Tour de France 2024

Back-to-back summit finales high in the Alps will set up the decisive closing weekend anchored by the final-time trial in Nice, the first time the Tour’s ended in an individual time trial since 1989 when Greg LeMond overcame Laurent Fignon in his historic victory.

Altitude will be a key factor in both stages.

Stage 19 sees three summit higher than 2000m, and stage 20 tackles four climbs in a short, 133km circuit-burner ending atop Col de la Couillole. Vertical tops 7000m in two days of racing.

If the race remains undecided, the tension will be sky high in the “dernière bataille” in the 34km individual time trial up and over La Turbie and Col d’Eze climbs.

It’s May, which means it’s time for one of the sport’s hardest races in one of the world’s most beautiful locations: the Giro d’Italia, the first of pro cycling’s trifecta of three-week “Grand Tours.”

Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s race, from the route to its history to the riders to watch and predictions for 2022.

What: The 2022 Giro d’Italia

When: Friday, May 6 - Sunday, May 29

Where: Stage 1 begins in Budapest, Hungary, and ends in Verona, Italy.

Course preview

Overall, the 2022 Giro d’Italia covers 3,410km (2,114 miles) spread over 21 stages, with two individual time trials, six mountain stages (four of which end with summit finishes), six “hilly” stages that look perfect for breakaways, seven days that should end in field sprints, and three rest days.

The race opens with three stages in Hungary, starting with a 195km road stage from Budapest to Visegrád on Friday, with an uphill finish that should make for an exciting sprint. Stage 2 brings the Giro’s first individual time trial (ITT) with a 9.2km city circuit that visits both Pest and Buda on either side of the Danube. Stage 3 covers 201km from Kaposvár to Balatonfüred with a flat finish that should produce the first pure field sprint of the race. A Monday Rest Day gives the race a chance to fly from Hungary to Sicily, where two stages await including a Stage 4 summit finish on Mount Etna, the first of this year’s four mountaintop finishes.

The race then works its way north with three tough stages at the end of the Giro’s first week: Stage 7, a lumpy stage with four categorized climbs and almost 4,500 meters of elevation gain; Stage 8, a short stage with five hilly finishing circuits around Naples; and Stage 9, a high mountain trek through the Apennines that ends with the climb to Blockhaus, one of the longer, steeper climbs in this year’s Giro. By the summit, the Giro’s real contenders should emerge.

The second week begins along the Adriatic coast and heads north and then west through Emilia-Romagna for Stages 10 and 11. Stage 12 begins in Parma and ends along the Mediterranean in Genova; Stage 13 starts in Sanremo, a town known for hosting the finish to the season’s first one-day Monument, Milano-Sanremo. On paper, these stages should favor sprinters and breakaway specialists.

The real action should come on Stages 14 and 15, which close the Giro’s second week. Stage 14 takes the riders on a short but intense ride from Santena to Trentino, with two-and-a-half laps of a challenging circuit featuring five categorized climbs. Stage 15 brings the race into the Western Alps and ends with two First Category climbs before the Second Category climb to the summit finish in Cogne. It’s not the hardest summit finish of the Giro, but after two weeks of racing there will be time gaps. By this point, only a handful of riders should still be in contention to win the race overall.

The Giro always saves its hardest stages for the final week, and this year’s no different. The week opens with two mountain stages (Stages 16 and 17) that aren’t true summit finishes, but might as well be since their finish lines both come fewer than 10km downhill from the First Category summits at the end of each stage.

But even with an ITT looming on Stage 21, the race should all come down to Stage 20, a classic mountain stage through the Dolomites that’s easily the hardest in this year’s race. Ending with a trio of classic summits—the Passo San Pellegrino, the Passo Pordoi (the highest climb in this year’s race), and the Passo Fedaia—this stage should blow the race apart and most likely, determine the Giro’s final champion.

And just in case it doesn’t, Stage 21’s 17km individual time trial in Verona will finish things once and for all.

What happened last year

104th giro d'italia 2021 stage 21

Colombia’s Egan Bernal (INEOS Grenadiers) won the 2021 Giro d’Italia after taking the pink jersey on Stage 9 and defending it all the way to the finish in Milan. But despite wearing the maglia rosa for 13 days, Bernal’s victory was far from easy. The Colombian—who also won the 2019 Tour de France—suffered through a few tough days during the Giro’s third week. Without the support of his teammates—especially fifth-place finisher Daniel Martinez—Bernal might not have won his second Grand Tour.

Italy’s Damiano Caruso (Bahrain-Victorious) finished second, and Great Britain’s Simon Yates (Team BikeExchange) finished third. Slovakia’s Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) won the Points Classification, France’s Geoffrey Bouchard (AG2R Citroën Team) won the King of the Mountains Classification, and Bernal, 24 at the time, was the Giro’s Best Young Rider. INEOS Grenadiers was the Giro’s best team, placing two riders in the Giro’s top-5 overall and winning four stages.

Riders to watch

INEOS-Grenadiers (formerly Team Sky) has won three of the last four Tours of Italy, including the last two in a row. However, neither of the past two winners–Bernal (2021) and Great Britain’s Tao Geoghegan Hart (2020)–will be racing this year’s edition. Instead, the team turns to Ecuador's Richard Carapaz, the reigning Olympic road race champion, to lead the way. Carapaz won the Giro for Movistar back in 2019 and has since finished second at the Tour of Spain (2020) and third at the Tour de France (2021) for INEOS. He’s the top favorite.

His toughest competitors should be last year’s third-place finisher, Yates (Team BikeExchange-Jayco), who recently took two impressive stage wins at the Vuelta Asturias, and Portugal’s João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates), who finished sixth in 2020, fourth in 2021, and looks ready to challenge for the overall win.

Other General Classification contenders include Spain’s Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious), who always looks the part but succumbs to either bad luck or crashes, France’s Romain Bardet (Team DSM), a two-time Tour de France podium finisher who’s rejuvenated his career with the Dutch team, and the Netherlands’ Tom Dumuolin (Jumbo-Visma) who returns to the race that he won in 2017 as more of a dark horse than a favorite.

But there’s life beyond the Giro’s GC contenders. Cavendish (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) returns to the Giro after last racing it nine years ago. We’re hoping that Cav wins a few stages and earns himself a spot on his team’s Tour de France squad–which means we’ll get one more chance to see him try and set the record for the most stage wins in Tour history.

The Giro will also mark the Grand Tour debut of Eritrea’s Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) who’s been one of the season’s biggest revelations. The 22-year-old became the first African to win a Belgian classic when he took Ghent-Wevelgem in March, and now he sets his sights on winning a stage at the Giro. (He’s our pick to win Stage 1 and take the race’s first pink jersey.)

And speaking of the classics, the Netherlands’s Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) makes his Giro debut as well. Winner of two of the last three Tours of Flanders, the Dutchman is hoping to use the Giro to build a solid foundation for his goals later in the season after a back injury ruined most of his off-season. (Not that it showed.)

Last but not least, the 2022 Giro should feature several North Americans, including the USA’s Joe Dombrowski (Astana) who won a stage last year (before crashing out the next day), Will Barta (Movistar), who’s supporting Alejandro Valverde in his final ride at the Giro, and Lawson Craddock (Team BikeExchange-Jayco), who’s hoping to help Yates in his bid to finally win it.

Canada’s Alexander Cataford (Israel-Premier Tech) will also be on the starting line in Budapest. The 28-year-old has started two Grand Tours in his career but has yet to finish one, so keep an eye on his progress once the race gets into its second and third weeks.

Since getting hooked on pro cycling while watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship in Philadelphia, longtime Bicycling contributor Whit Yost has raced on Belgian cobbles, helped build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux as an assistant director sportif. These days, he lives with his wife and son in Pennsylvania, spending his days serving as an assistant middle school principal and his nights playing Dungeons & Dragons.

A thrilling Tour de France finished in late September after it was pushed back due to the pandemic, and some nine months later the same two faces are expected to be out in front when the 2021 edition gets under way.

This year’s Tour starts on Saturday 26 June, with defending champion Tadej Pogacar out to defend his crown and Primoz Roglic hoping to beat his fellow Slovenian.

Roglic held the yellow jersey for 11 stages last year but a stunning mountain time-trial performance from Pogacar in Stage 20 helped the then 21-year-old become the youngest general classification winner for over a century – a display which saw him claim the young rider and mountains classifications to boot.

This year’s battle for the yellow jersey has been dubbed part two of “Pog vs Rog” in some quarters, but Geraint Thomas is among the ever-strong Ineos Grenadiers contingent chasing glory once more.

Here we take a look at the leading contenders, and below there is analysis of the fight for the green jersey as Mark Cavendish makes his Tour comeback .

You can also scroll down to see the full schedule and start times at the bottom.

Tadej Pogacar – UAE Team Emirates

  • Age: 22 | Best result: 2020 winner

Pogacar comes into the Tour in good form having won the Tour of Slovenia earlier in June. The 22-year-old also won the one-day Liège-Bastogne-Liège and headed an impressive field at the Tirreno–Adriatico to justify his tag as favourite for the Tour de France.

The spotlight will be a little brighter as the defending champion, but the Slovenian has a strong team behind him, among them Rafal Majka – a two-time King of the Mountains – and new addition Marc Hirschi, who impressed last year.

“My year so far has gone really well and I’m really looking forward to starting this Tour with good preparation and good condition,” Pogacar said. “I am confident in myself and my team, we can’t wait for the challenge.”

Primoz Roglic –Team Jumbo-Visma

  • Age: 31 | Best result: Second in 2020

Roglic must ride away the pain of last year’s agonising near-miss when taking to French tarmac once more this year. He was able to win last year’s edition of Liège–Bastogne–Liège after the Tour finished, while this year he will be buoyed by his Tour of the Basque Country win – a six-stage race in which Pogacar came third.

Having focused on altitude training over races this year, Roglic is a man on a mission, and has riders including Steven Kruijswijk, Sepp Kuss, Wout van Aert and Tony Martin out to support his cause at Jumbo-Visma.

Geraint Thomas – Ineos Grenadiers

  • Age: 35 | Best result: 2018 winner

Thomas was a surprise omission from Ineos’ roster for the 2020 Tour de France, but he returns as part of a strong pack this time around, with team-mates Richie Porte and Richard Carapaz (below) also deemed contenders if Pogacar and Roglic fall short.

For Thomas, it will be about ensuring this team can work together before a prime general classification candidate becomes clearer, and that means any mistakes could lead to him backing up Porte or Carapaz – or even last year’s British winner of the Giro d’Italia, Tao Geoghegan Hart – in the latter stages.

Porte won the Criterium du Dauphine earlier this month, while Thomas came third after winning the Tour de Romandie in May – his first title since winning the 2018 Tour de France. A good omen, but the Briton will know the Slovenians could take some beating.

Richard Carapaz – Ineos Grenadiers

  • Age: 28 | Best result: 13 th in 2020  

The 2019 Giro d’Italia champion saw his odds shorten after winning the Tour de Suisse recently which, along with the Criterium du Dauphine, is deemed as a good metric for which riders are heading to France in form.

The Ecuadorian will therefore be hoping a strong showing in the early mountain stages (eight and nine) will make him Ineos’ leader heading into the business-end of the Tour, but with a time trial on Stage 20 once more Carapaz will likely need a sizeable lead to hold off Pogacar and Roglic.

2021 Tour de France general classification (yellow jersey) odds Best at time of writing on 23 June: Tadej Pogacar – 13-8 Primoz Roglic – 15-8 Geraint Thomas – 9-2 Richard Carapaz – 8-1 Richie Porte – 22-1 Julian Alaphilippe 28-1

What about Chris Froome?

Chris Froome will be racing at this year’s Tour de France but the Briton will not be targeting a fifth title.

The 36-year-old is gearing up for his first Tour with Israel Start-Up Nation after leaving Ineos, but he will not be leading his team this year – instead supporting Canadian Michael Woods.

Froome finished a lowly 47 th at the Criterium du Dauphine and is still looking to get back to full fitness following last year’s horrific crash. A likely leader next year, this Tour will be about building his confidence and relationships with his team-mates.

Will Cavendish win the green jersey?

Back on the Tour for the first time since 2018, 36-year-old Mark Cavendish is aiming to add to his 30 career Tour stage wins. He is just four shy of all-time record-holder Eddy Merckx, and was included in Deceuninck-Quick-Step’s team with fellow sprinter Sam Bennett injured and therefore unable to defend his green jersey.

“I am delighted to be going back to the Tour de France with Deceuninck-Quick-Step,” Cavendish said. “Obviously, the circumstances with Sam could be better – he had a special Tour last year and I am sad for him not being able to defend his green jersey.

“But at the same time, I am excited to be going back to a race that I have such an affinity with and where I have so much history. It is the biggest bike race in the world, and I am going to do all I can to grab this opportunity with both hands.”

Cavendish last won the points classification in 2011, with Slovakia’s Peter Sagan going on to dominate, claiming seven of the last nine green jerseys.

Already the record-holder, Sagan (Bora–Hansgrohe) is joint-favourite to make it eight this year, but you can expect to see Lotto–Soudal’s Caleb Ewan claiming stage wins too, making the green jersey battle as intriguing as the one for yellow.

No. Words. Can. Describe. How. I. Feel. I will do absolutely everything to honour #thewolfpack boys, the @deceuninck_qst jersey and the greatest race on the planet @LeTour . Big boots to fill for @Sammmy_Be . Can everybody join me in sending him positive vibes please 🙏🙏 — Mark Cavendish (@MarkCavendish) June 21, 2021

Cavendish will hope to be there or there abouts, and after winning four stages of the Tour of Turkey in April and the last stage of the Belgium Tour in June, it will be great to see him back on a Tour that he adores.

Points classification (green jersey) odds Peter Sagan – 9-4 Caleb Ewan – 9-4 Arnaud Demare – 11-4 Wout van Aert – 7-1 Sonny Colbrelli – 15-2 Mark Cavendish – 12-1

How to Watch the Tour de France

The world’s greatest cyclists journey across France in the biggest race of the year and Peacock is the only place to see it all.

Cyclists pass the Arc du Triomphe in the Tour de France

It’s time for cycling’s most anticipated event of the year. The Tour de France brings the best professional cyclists in the world together for a three-week cross-country race. The route is different every year, but the destination remains the same: A grand finish on Paris’ Champs-Elysées. No other competition is quite like it. Even if you don’t normally follow professional cycling, you’ll find yourself drawn in, captivated by the 21-day drama on display. If you want to see it all, there’s one place you need to be. 

What Is the Tour de France? 

The Tour de France is a massive bike race that takes cyclists on a three-week journey through France. With the exact route changing every year, this is a unique challenge unlike anything else on the cycling calendar. The race is broken up into stages, with each day covering a certain portion of the route. Each stage has its own winner, and the winner of the entire event is the person who has the fastest time of all 21 stages. Every stage matters. Even winning one, even if the rider doesn’t win the tournament, will boost that rider’s standing significantly. Only the absolute best, most competitive riders make it to the Tour de France, so tensions are high for the entire three-week race. 

This year’s event will take 176 riders through 3,404 km of road, hill, and mountain terrain. Multiple stages will force cyclists to climb for more than an hour straight. It’s a tough route that encourages athletes to take risks to get ahead. This year’s edition of the Tour de France is sure to be the most memorable yet. 

When Can I Watch Each Stage of the Tour de France

The Grand Départ will be LIVE on both NBC and Peacock. After that, most stages will be exclusive to Peacock, but some will also be broadcast on USA. If you want to see every stage, including the finale on the Champs Elysées in Paris, you’ll want to make sure you have Peacock. 

Stage 1: NBC and Peacock 

Stage 2: Exclusively on Peacock 

Stages 3-7: USA and Peacock 

Stages 8-21: Exclusively on Peacock 

Can I Watch a Stage Later if I Can’t Catch it Live?

Every replay will be available after the conclusion of each stage so you never have to miss a moment. The Tour de France is the most dramatic race on the calendar, so Peacock is making sure you get to see it all. 

Which Cyclists Should I Look Out For? 

Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard is definitely one to watch. He’s an absolute phenom and there’s absolutely a possibility of him repeating this year. He’s not the only favorite though. Tadej Pogacar, who won the Tour in 2020 and 2021, will likely fight for the top spot the whole way through. The battle between these two is one of the most-anticipated elements of this year’s race. 

Australian cyclists Ben O’Connor and Jai Hindley could also make some noise, as could France’s David Gaudu and Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz. They could even pose a threat to the top two favorites if things break their way. Cycling is a fickle and unpredictable sport, after all. There are also a few American cyclists worth paying attention to, particularly Matteo Jorgenson and Neilson Powless. Even if they don’t win the whole thing, or even podium, they have a definite shot at securing some stage wins. That alone is a career highlight for pro cyclists. 

There is no race quite like the Tour de France. It’s long, dramatic, and a true test of endurance. Emotions run high for the entire three weeks, making for the most thrilling race of the year. Get Peacock now to see it all.
