The 2024 Tour de France will be the 11th edition of the great race – and there are  few sure things in life: birth, death, taxes and the Tour de France ending on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. But not in 2024. For the first time, the race will finish in Nice – on the south coast of France – instead of Paris thanks to the 2024 Olympics Games, which start in Paris on July 26. 

The Tour runs from Saturday , June 29 to Sunday, July 21, so it was decided that authorities in Paris would have enough on their hands with the Olympics to handle the logistics of another major spectator event.

But it's not just the finish that will be new for 2024: the start – the Grand Depart – will be held in Italy for the first time. The Tour de France is back on Giro d'Italia territory for the 12th time but it's the first time the race has started this side of the border. 

The full route will be announced later in 2023 and details stage maps are usually then released each May online and  in the official race program (we'll post links to that once it's available) .

We have this page for Tour de France road closure information , which we also update with 2024 information after the 2023 race is done and dusted.

See here for accommodation near the route (again, it will be updated once we know the full 2024 route).

Where to find more useful information: the Official 2024 Tour de France Race Guide is the place to go. We'll include links here when it's available

Stage 1: saturday, june 29 - florence to rimini, 205km.

After leaving Florence, the peloton will roll through Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna to a seaside finale in Rimini. There will be some 3700 metres of climbing today. The route also dips into  the principality of San Marino, taking to 14 the number of countries that have hosted the Tour .

Stage 2: Sunday, June 30 -  Cesenatico to Bologna, 200km  

Say two starting near the station in Cesenatico – the final resting place of Marco Pantani. It's then on to another tough day of climbing on the road to Bologna .

Stage 3: Monday, July 1 –  Piacenza to Turin, 225km   

Today will be a day for the sprinters  in Turin, the capital of Piedmont – a regular sprint finish on the Giro d'Italia .   

Stage 4: Tuesday, July 2 – Pinerolo to Valloire,  138km   

The Tour goes up with its first giant on the road: the Galibier at 2642m.  

Stage 5: Wednesday, July 3 – St-Jean-de-Maurienne to Saint-Vulbas, 177km

A sprint finish.

Stage 6: Thursday, July 4 – Macon to Dijon, 163km

A sprint finish with an 800m final stretch .

Stage 7: Friday, July 5 –  Nuits-Saint-Georges to Gevrey-Chambertin,  25km Individual Time Trial

An ITT through the vineyards of Burgundy.

Stage 8: Saturday, July 6 – Semur-en-Auxois to Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, 176km

Five climbs in the first part of the stage could put a strain on some sprinters' legs.

Stage 9: Sunday, July 7 –  Troyes to Troyes, 199km

Fourteen sectors of white roads, 32km in total onto the gravel and dust.

Rest day: Monday, July 8 –  Orleans

Stage 10: Tuesday, July 9 – Orleans to  Saint-Amand-Montrond , 187km

The wind could play a major role, like in 2013 when unexpected echelons marked the stage .

Stage 11: Wednesday, July 10 –  Évaux-les-Bains to Le Lioran,  211km

Some 4350m of vertical gain, Néronne, the Puy Mary Pas de Peyrol, Pertus, Font de Cère.

Stage 12: Thursday, July 11 – Aurillac to  Villeneuve-sur-Lot , 204km

The breakaway triumphed in Villeneuve in both 1996 and 2000 .

Stage 13: Friday, July 12 – Agen to Pau, 171km  

Pau, a Tour regular is here again.

Stage 14: Saturday, July 13 – Pau to Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet, 152km

The first day in the Pyrenees, and a real challenge with famous climbs on the menu .

Stage 15: Sunday, July 14 –  Loudenvielle to Plateau de Beille, 198km

Six climbs and 4850m of climbing for Bastille Day .

Rest day: Monday, July 15 –  Gruissan

Stage 16: tuesday, july 16 –  gruissan to nimes, 187km.

The sprinters may be heavily tipped for success, but the Mistral can blow fiercely at this time of year and break up the peloton.

Stage 17: Wednesday, July 17 – Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux to Superdévoluy , 178km

An ideal route for a large breakaway, but the climbers will also have a chance to shine .

Stage 18: Thursday, July 18 – Gap to Barcelonnette , 179km

Breakaway? Sprinters? It's anyone's guess .

Stage 19: Friday, July 19 –  Embrun to  Isola 2000, 145km  

The ultimate giant is back on the Tour: the Cime de la Bonette and its 2802m of altitude .

Stage 20: Saturday, July 20 -  Nice to Col de la Couillole, 132km

This will be a  mountainous stage from the coast at Nice inland to Col de la Couillole.

This stage doubles as L'Etape du Tour sportive route on July 7. ( See the full route map here ).

Stage 21: Sunday, July 21 - Monaco to Nice individual time trial, 35km   

A break with tradition and an enforced finish in Nice, on the southern coast of France, due to the 2024 Olympics taking over the capital, Paris this week. The  21st and final stage will be contested in a 35km individual time trial from the glitzy streets of Monaco to Place Masséna in Nice. For the first time in a long time, the last stage may not be purely ceremonial. The yellow jersey could be won – or lost – today. 

Bike hire for watching the Tour de France

A reminder that if you need bike hire during the Tour de France you should book early. It ALWAYS sells out and it can be very hard to find quality carbon road bikes closer to the time.  More info here .

Tour de France 2024 route: Two individual time trials, five summit finishes and gravel sectors

Tour de France 2024 route totals 3,492km of racing with 52,320 metres of overall elevation across 21 stages

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

• Stage summary

The Tour de France 2024 route will include five summit finishes, 59km of individual time trialling, and gravel sectors on stage nine, it has been announced by its organiser ASO.

The route for the 111th edition of the race was unveiled in a presentation inside Paris's Palais des Congrès on Wednesday. 

It begins on the 29 June, and finishes on the 21 July, three weeks later. 

As was confirmed last year, the race will begin in Italy for the first time , with stages from Florence to Rimini, Cesenatico to Bologna and Piacenza to Turin. It will mark 100 years since the first Italian winner of the Tour, Ottavio Bottecchia.

Another first is that the Tour will not conclude in Paris for the first time ever, due to the 2024 Paris Olympics, with the final stage coming in Nice. It also means that for the first time since 1989, the final stage will be contested, in a time trial. 

On the way, the race tackles the Alps, the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, including four summit finishes at Pla d'Adet, the Plateau de Beille, Superdévoluy, Isola 2000 and the Col de la Couillole, and 59 kilometres of time trialling across stages seven and 21.

There are 14 gravel sectors on stage nine from Troyes to Troyes, totalling 32km, with six packed into the final 35km in what could be a decisive point of the race. The longest is 4km.

With the final day a hilly time trial in Nice and not the usual procession in to Paris, it is hoped that the race will be alive right to the end of the race. The whole final week, in fact, will be crucial for general classification, with four of the six days potentially decisive.

According to the race organisers, there are eight sprint opportunities along the way, although some are not as straightforward as others, with a breakaway sure to contest some of them. Mark Cavendish will be looking forward to Saint-Amand-Montrond on stage 13, where he won in 2013, and Nîmes on stage 16 especially, where he won in 2008.

Last year, the race was dominated by Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), who crushed all of his competition, including Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), on the stage 16 time trial to Combloux and stage 17's summit finish in Courchevel .

Tour de France 2024 route: stage by stage

Full tour de france 2024 route map.

Tour de France 2024 route week one

The 2024 Tour de France begins how it means to go on, with a lot of climbing. Stage one begins in Florence, and includes 3,800km over 205km, the most ever in an opening stage, according to race director Christian Prudhomme.

The second stage is also hilly, starting from Marco Pantani's hometown of Cesenatico, finishing in Bologna through Emilia-Romagna. It copies the route of the Giro dell'Emilia, including the final climb of San Luca - 1.9km at 10.6 per cent - which is tackled twice.

There is a chance for the fast men on stage three, which covers 225km from Piacenza to Turin. 

Stage four sees the race finally reach France, via the Alps. The Sestriere, the Col de Montgenèvre and the Col du Galiber are all tackled before a descent to Valloire.

Stages five and six, to Saint-Vulbas and Dijon, should be sprint opportunities, but the fast men could be ambushed.

The race's first individual time trial comes on stage seven, but it will be a technical affair as opposed to a pure rouleur 's course, before stage eight should be another chance for the sprinters.

Stage nine could be the highlight of the opening week, and is certainly something new, using the gravel roads of the Champagne region to mix things up. The 32km of gravel across 14 sectors is inspired from the Tour de France Femmes 2022, which used two of the same tracks; it is the biggest use of gravel at the Tour to date.

Tour de France 2024 route week two

After a rest day in Orléans, the closest to Paris the race gets in 2024, there are four stages which head south towards the Pyrenees.

Stage ten will surely be a sprint stage, but the winds could blow, as they did in 2013, when Cavendish won, while stage 11 is a return to medium mountains. The stage to Le Lioran is similar to the one which Greg Van Avermaet triumphed on in 2016, taking the yellow jersey in the process. 4,500m of climbing will make this a tough test for everyone.

It's back to sprinting or breakaways on stages 12 and 13 to Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Pau, respectively, with the latter looking more nailed on for a bunch finish.

Stage 14 is the first Pyrenean test, finishing atop the Pla d'Adet, which marks Raymond Poulidor's victory up there 50 years ago; it follows the Col du Tourmalet and the Hourquette d’Ancizan in just 152 km.

After that, the climbing does not stop. On Bastille Day, Catorze Juillet , the race heads from Loudenvielle to Plateau de Beille, in a stage that covers 198 km, with 4,850 metres of climbing. The Peyresourde is tackled first, followed by the Col de Menté, the Col de Portet d’Aspet, the Col de la Core, and Col d’Agnès, before the final test to Plateau de Beille. It will surely help decide the direction of the race.

Tour de France 2024 route week three

A classic transition stage follows the second rest day from Gruissan to Nîmes, which is planned as a sprint stage, but if the winds blow, mayhem could ensue.

Stage 17 is a return to the mountains with a finish in the ski resort of Superdévoluy on the fringes of the Alps, before stage 18 looks set to be a breakaway day as the race travels from Gap to Barcelonnette.

It is the final three days where the 2024 champion will be crowned, however, with two back-to-back summit finishes in southeast France. Stage 19 finishes atop Isola 2000, with the Col de Vars, at 2,120m, before the Col de la Bonnette, at 2,802m, marks the high point of the race, and then there's Isola 2000.

Stage 20 feels like a Paris-Nice penultimate stage, and kind of is, with some of the favourite climbs from the race tackled consecutively. The Col de Braus is first, 10.2km at 6.3 per cent, before the Col de Turini, 20.6km at 5.6 per cent, and then the Col de La Colimiane, 7.6km at 6.8 per cent, and then, finally the Col de la Couillole, 15.7km at 7.1 per cent. That's 4,500m of elevation in just 132km.

However, that is not the end of the race. This year, there is a final day time trial around Nice, not a procession in Paris. The 35km course includes La Turbie, 8.1km at 5.6 per cent, and the Col d’Eze, 1.6km at 8.1%, before concluding on the Promenade des Anglais.

5 unmissable stages of the 2024 Tour de France

Mountains, gravel, and final-day drama: Here are our pick of the most promising stages of next year's Tour

The fearsome Col du Galibier appears shockingly early in the 2024 Tour de France

The 2024 Tour de France is a thrill-seeker, seeking to capture the increasingly elusive attention of as broad an audience as possible. We have mountains at the start, mountains at the end, and gravel in the middle. We have the hilliest ever opening stage and we have a real race on the final day for the first time in 35 years.

In short, we have plenty of ammo for this run-down of 'unmissable' stages.

The 2024 Tour de France will, of course, be live in full on GCN+ and while you may well watch every stage from start to finish, these for us are the standout days when you're going to want to clear your calendars.

Stage 4: Why take a tunnel when you can climb a col?

July 2: Pinerolo – Valloire, 138km

The profile for stage 4 of the 2024 Tour de France

“Never before has the Tour been so high, so soon,” said Christian Prudhomme as he unveiled this early foray into the Alps. We knew the race had to get from Italy to France, and that means negotiating the Alps, but doing so in this way was not on many bingo cards.

“We could have passed through some tunnels, but we had no interest in doing that, so we preferred to pass over some cols,” Prudhomme added with a mischievous smile.

This is a proper mountain stage, and even if you look at it and think it’s not the likeliest to generate decisive general classification movement, you then remember it’s only stage 4 and that this sort of thing isn’t supposed to happen this early in a Grand Tour.

A full on mountain stage this early is unprecedented, but it's not the first time the Tour has started with some hills. In some respects the first few stages of this Tour are a natural step up from what we saw last year. We have more elevation gain on the opening day in 2024 (3,600m) than we did in the Basque Country last year, when an early foray into the Pyrenees on stages 5 and 6 – on routes that didn’t look ultra-decisive – ended up seeing Vingegaard and Pogačar trade significant blows.

The same is possible on this route, which effectively climbs from the gun, all the way to Sestrières at 2035m. The race crosses the Italo-French border via the Col de Montgenèvre (8.3km at 5.9%) and then it’s time for the Galibier, one of the most iconic mountains of the Tour de France.

It's the southern side of the mountain in action here, totalling 23km at 5.1%, much of that being a steady plod up the Col du Lauteret, where the prevailing headwind could see a contained race. But things suddenly change when you ignore that left turn and head right onto the upper reaches of the Galibier, as the gradient ramps up dramatically, the mountainside vertiginously falls away, and the altitude starts to bite.

This will be as much about the descent as the ascent, with the route re-tracing the steps that made Tom Pidcock a Netflix star, so we’re in for a spectacular finale, however the Galibier leaves it hanging. The draggy nature of much of the climbing may fail to inspire some fans, but you have a Tour de France icon, altitude, and a stunning descent, and then you remember it’s only stage 4.

Stage 9: Gravel storm incoming

July 7: Troyes – Troyes, 199km

The profile for stage 9 of the 2024 Tour de France

Love gravel, hate gravel, you are not missing this. This could be a massive moment for the race; it could be a massive moment in the history of the Tour de France; it could amount to very little at all; but it’s going to be captivating viewing, either way.

There was a sense of shock after Christian Prudhomme had unveiled the parcours for this stage. The very presence of gravel had been heavily touted in the pre-presentation rumour mill, but, sorry… how much?! No fewer than 14 sectors will line the route of stage 9, totalling more than 32km of the so-called chemins blancs (white tracks). That’s not Strade Bianche territory, but it’s considerably more than the 12.9km used when the Tour de France Femmes visited this area in 2022, the 11.6km on offer at next year’s Giro d’Italia, and any helping of cobblestone sectors we’ve had over the years.

It’s going to kick up a storm of dust on the day but it has already whipped up a stormy debate. “It is not necessary,” said an exasperated Jumbo-Visma boss Richard Plugge, a feeling echoed by his Bora-Hansgrohe counterpart Ralph Denk and in more diplomatic terms by his rider, the defending champion Jonas Vingegaard. Remco Evenepoel has already spoken out against the gravel, while his Soudal Quick-Step boss Patrick Lefevere has never hidden his own distaste for gravel and cobbles.

The general argument against is that the heightened risk of mechanical problems or crashes could take a leading contender out of contention or out of the race altogether – rather than being decided on strength and tactics, it increased the role of Lady Luck. The argument in favour draws on both the past and future of cycling. Prudhomme pointed out that some of the sport’s legends were making their mark before long before paved roads were the norm, while gravel as a modern discipline is the sport's major growth area.

The Tour de France has made obvious efforts in recent years to appeal to the social media generation, so it’s no surprise to see them jump on the gravel hype train. If nothing goes drastically wrong on stage 9 next July, we can expect to see them lean further into the drama and entertainment angle, with Tour routes veering further away from the traditional. This is part of the testing ground for how a Grand Tour could and should be designed.

As for the day itself, the luck factor will be impossible to predict but in purely racing terms there is plenty of time to be won and lost. Plugge may have underlined Vingegaard’s bike handling skills, but the Jumbo-Visma reaction doesn’t scream confidence, nor does that of Primož Roglič’s future team Bora-Hansgrohe, while Evenepoel will have flashbacks to his nightmare outing on the Tuscan gravel in the 2021 Giro. That’ll be music to the ears of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), a former winner of Strade Bianche and the reigning champion at the Tour of Flanders. He is, quite simply, a more rugged and rounded rider, and he will surely see this not as an obstacle but an opportunity.

However it falls, the sight of the yellow jersey and co. careering onto the gravel – a haze of dust in the dry, or a mudbath in the wet – will be compelling viewing. Even if nothing much happens, you’ll be holding your breath on the edge of your seat for each sector, but there’s every chance this could be one of the most dramatic days of the whole Tour.

Stage 15: A Bastille Day epic

July 14: Loudenvielle – Plateau de Beille, 198km

The profile for stage 15 of the 2024 Tour de France

Bastille Day, and as if the French fans needed any more incentive to get out there and scream their lungs out, we have a crazy day in the Pyrenees.

Let’s start with the stats: 198km, six climbs, 4850m elevation gain. It’s a big, big day and, what’s more, it comes hot on the heels of another big day. Stage 14 might not be quite as heavy, but it still goes over the Tourmalet, Hourquette d’Ancizan and up Pla d’Adet, meaning the legs will already be dulled for this epic.

It’s another summit finish, up at Plateau de Beille, but more on that later. The stage rips out of the traps, climbing the western flank of the Col de Peyresourde from the gun. The ascent from Loudenvielle measures 6.9km at 7.8% and the bunch is going to explode immediately. Breakaway artists will be on the move, pawns will be placed, lower-rung GC riders will be on the hunt, and we could even see a favourite or two looking to take advantage of the chaos. After the descent there are 20km in the valley but then the Col de Menté hits and it’s vicious (9.3km at 9.1%), followed straight away by the Portet d’Aspet (4.3km at 9.7%).

The valley roads in the middle of the stage should be where things settle back into some sort of pattern, but the shake-up will recommence on the Col d’Agnes (10km at 8.2%), and the short hop over to the Port de Lers. A descent and a short valley stretch then lead to the final climb to Plateau de Beille (15.8km at 7.9%), which didn’t see much action on its last appearance in 2015, but then again this is a harder stage in general. The first few kilometres are the hardest, averaging 9%, and it hangs mostly between 7-8% the rest of the way up. For such a long climb, the average gradient is high, and there’ll be guaranteed damage by the top.

The 2024 Tour route seems to have less of a penchant for super-steep climbs than previous years, with a return to more of the traditional steadier efforts, but this stage features the sharpest gradients of the whole Tour, and also the most elevation gain of a single stage. It’s set to be a defining day.

Stage 19: Up in the clouds

July 19: Embrun – Valloire, 145km

The profile for stage 19 of the 2024 Tour de France

Rivalling stage 15 for the honour of the race’s ‘queen stage’ is this trip down the eastern flank of the French Alps, and it offers a real contrast to its Pyrenean counterpart.

For starters, it’s shorter, by 53km, and it contains almost as much elevation gain. Although it doesn’t start uphill, it’s a more intense affair. Secondly, the climbs are less steep, but longer, the Col de Vars and Cime de la Bonette both around the 20km mark.

The most important factor – and the thing that truly sets this stage apart – is the altitude. 2000 metres has become a sort of mythical benchmark, often referred to as 'the barrier'. Above the barrier, things change as the paucity of oxygen dulling both the muscles and the senses. At that height, you can crack and never recover.

The Tour goes above 2000m on the Galibier on stage 4 and the Tourmalet on stage 14, but stage 19 is ‘the altitude stage’ of the 2024 Tour.

The Col de Vars takes us to 2109m with an 18.8km climb at an average gradient of 5.7% that’s heavily mitigated by a 3km plateau in the middle. It’s then over to the Cime de la Bonette, which, at an eye-watering 2802m, is one of the highest paved roads in Europe.

This is extreme altitude, and while the climb, measuring 22.2km at 6.9%, would be hard enough from seal level, half of it is above the 2000m barrier, where the riders will be toiling for more than half an hour.

The long descent to Isola sets us up for another vertical kilometre on the final climb to Isola 2000, which as the name suggests, punctures that 2000m barrier for a third time. It’s another long climb at 16km, and while it’s a steady traditional ski resort seven percent-er, the day’s exertions will start to take their toll.

It’s the sort of stage, heading into the clouds, where the idea of climbers ‘taking flight’ feels very apt indeed.

Stage 21: Drama til the last

July 21: Monaco – Nice, 34km (ITT)

The profile for stage 21 of the 2024 Tour de France

For the first time in the history of the Tour de France, the race will finish away from Paris, and for the first time since 1989, we’ll have a competitive final day.

Those memories from 35 years ago will only whet the appetite for this 35km time trial between Nice and Monaco. The final day of that 1989 edition, concluding with a time trial into Paris, is one of the most memorable day’s in the race’s rich tapestry, with a pioneeringly aerodynamic Greg LeMond snatching the yellow jersey from Laurent Fignon by a mere eight seconds – the tightest ever Tour.

The arrival of the peloton in Paris is, for many, symbolic. However, the champagne-fuelled procession is not to everyone’s taste, and those who prefer the last day of the race to be, well, a race, will delight in the 2024 finale on the Côte d’Azur.

Provided it’s not a complete walkover to that point, the yellow jersey will be in play until the very last metres and moments of the Tour de France.

If the yellow jersey is indeed in play, then even the flattest of time trials would be gripping, but this is a far more interesting route than most, heading into the hills behind Nice to provide an all-round test of climbing, descending, flat power, and also bike handling.

The route starts in Monaco and spends all of 3km on the flat before heading up La Turbie, a well-trodden training climb for the enclave of Principality-based pros. At 8.1km at 5.6%, it’s a solid climb but more of a steady, seated effort. It provides a link to the Col d’Eze, famous from Paris-Nice, so it’s not the full climb but a steep 1.6km kicker at the top, which is followed by a long, fast, sweeping descent into Nice for a flat final 6km.

It’s a stunning route, perched above the glistening blue waters of the Mediterranean, and it should balance things finely between the remaining yellow jersey contenders, coming down to who’s still firing after three weeks. That’s another part of the novelty; the 2024 Tour effectively has one extra day of ‘real’ racing, and this TT comes after two big summit finishes, and five mountain stages in the space of the previous seven days.

If it goes down to the wire, it will live long in the memory.

Grand Départ Florence Émilie-Romagne 2024

The 111th edition of the Tour de France will start from Florence on Saturday, 29 June 2024 in a historic first for the Grande Boucle.

THE LONGEST WAIT , Christian Prudhomme, Director of the Tour de France

Florence had been talking to us about it for a very long time, Emilia-Romagna nurtured its burning desire, and then Piedmont came on board — Italy truly raised its ambitions to the power of three to host the Grand Départ .

Their ardour and synergies will right a historic wrong as the Tour de France gets under way on the Italian Peninsula for the first time and the riders take their first pedal strokes in this true-blue cycling nation. Exactly a century after Ottavio Bottecchia became the first cyclist from the other side of the Alps to win the Tour, the peloton will go from the birthplace of Gino Bartali, a champion Righteous Among the Nations, to that of Marco Pantani, the unforgettable Il Pirata, worshipped without measure, before paying tribute to the campionissimo, Fausto Coppi. These three stages will take us through majestic landscapes in which the leaders will be forced to take matters into their own hands from the opening weekend. It is going to be magical.

JUST LIKE HOME , Stefano Bonaccini, President of the region Emilia-Romagna et Dario Nardella, Mayor of Florence

"Florence and Emilia-Romagna are physically linked by mountains. The Apuan Alps, the most incredible stretch of the chain surrounding Tuscany, which yielded the marble for Michelangelo’s sublime creations, extend all the way to the Emilia-Romagna Apennines, a mountain range carpeted with charming villages steeped in history on the road from Dante’s birthplace to his tomb in Ravenna.

The other tie that binds our city and our region is our passion for cycling. Three of our scions —Gino Bartali, Gastone Nencini and Marco Pantani— have won the Tour, and our other champions are too numerous to mention. Yet one name stands out from the legend: Alfonsina Strada, a pioneer from Castelfranco Emilia, who in 1924 became the first —and only— woman to take part in the men’s Giro d’Italia. For the Tour de France, this Grand Départ from Florence and Emilia-Romagna will feel just like home."

"It’s an honour to host the Tour de France’s Grand Départ and to be able to showcase Florence and Emilia-Romagna, as well as Turin and Piedmont, to sports enthusiasts from all over the world. The landscapes that will feature in the race will serve as an invitation to come and discover the extraordinary beauty of these regions, which have always been devoted to cycling, at a time when the bicycle is becoming the preferred means of transport for “slow”, meaning that you take your time, green, sustainable and enjoyable tourism. We’re ready to welcome world cycling’s elite with three magnificent stages that will wind their way along our roads next summer. The local organising committee"

HAND IN HAND Florence and Emilia-Romagna are physically linked by mountains. The Apuan Alps, the most impressive part of the chain that surrounds Tuscany, extend towards the Emilia-Romagna Apennines. Their passion for cycling is the other link that unites them, the two locations the birthplace of no fewer than three Tour de France champions between them: Gino Bartali, Gastone Nencini and Marco Pantani. Florence is the cradle of art, literature and architecture, the birthplace of the Renaissance and the Italian language. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is universally recognised as one of the world’s most beautiful cities, thanks to its many monuments and museums, which attract millions of tourists every year. Proud of its past, Florence is also looking to the future with a vision focused on sustainable development, creativity and innovation. Emilia-Romagna is built around the green heart of the Apennines, the Po Valley and the Adriatic coast. The ancient Via Emilia, built in Roman times, runs across it from Rimini to Piacenza, an artery that provided the lifeblood to an area rich in culture and with a history stretching back thousands of years. That heritage that is still alive and well, and is now epitomised by Emilia-Romagna’s current position among the most advanced regions in Europe. This is reflected in its economic activity, focused around tourism and the agri-food, textile and automotive industries.

BREATHTAKING, GROUNDBREAKING

Florence is the cradle of art, literature and architecture, the birthplace of the Renaissance and of the Italian language. Nestled on a territory that for centuries has been characterized by the perfect balance between man and nature, it is a destination for millions of visitors from all over the world every year. Today it is a city proud of its past and future oriented, focused on sustainable development, creativity and innovation.

Emilia-Romagna is a unique region. Land of doing and land of beauty, with the Apennines as great green heart, the Adriatic coast, the Po river and its valley. Via Emilia, which crosses the region and connects from Rimini to Piacenza, is the beating heart of an area rich in culture and a millenary history. It’s a still living legacy, welded with a present that sees Emilia-Romagna as one of the most advanced territories in Europe, thanks to the tenacity, inspiration and industriousness of its citizens.

STAGE 1 | Florence > Rimini | 29 June 2024 | 205 KM

This postcard will provide a snapshot of the Grand Départ in Florence, the Bartali Museum in Ponte a Ema —where the champion was born— and the finish on the Adriatic seafront.

In sporting terms, this trek through the Apennines packs an elevation gain of 3,800 m, from the power climb of Valico Tre Faggi to steeper slopes, in the heart of the Republic of San Marino, the last of which comes near the finish. The first Yellow Jersey may well go to one of the contenders for the overall title.

STAGE 2 | Cesenatico > Bologne | 30 June 2024 | 200 KM

From the spa resort where Marco Pantani used to live, which is also his final resting place, the peloton will ride down gorgeous plains before hitting the first two climbs, including the Cima Gallisterna, coming right before Imola Circuit, where Julian Alaphilippe earned his rainbow stripes in 2020.

Another four difficulties stand between the riders and the finish line, including two ascents to San Luca (1.9km at 10.6%) along the 666 arches of the staircase leading to the Sanctuary. Punchers are in for a real treat.

STAGE 3 | Plaisance > Turin | 1 July 2024 | 225 KM

Pure sprinters will get their first chance to shine on the road from Emilia-Romagna to Piedmont. A course with nary a bump on the road, a detour through Lombardy, a visit to Tortona, where Fausto Coppi drew his final breath, a romp through the Langhe, which boasts delicious truffles and wine-growing landscapes on the UNESCO World Heritage list, some of the roads of Milan–San Remo… Against such a jaw-dropping backdrop, any breakaways will have their work cut out for them to stay clear and pre-empt a bunch sprint.

Cyclisme sur route : Vingegaard, Evenepoel, Roglič, après la chute au Tour du Pays basque, quelles chances de participer aux JO de Paris 2024 ?

La quatrième étape du Tour du Pays basque 2024 a été marquée par une chute massive ce jeudi 4 avril.

Certains des plus grands noms du peloton ont été impliqués dont Jonas Vingegaard , vainqueur des deux dernières éditions du Tour de France, Remco Evenepoel et Primož Roglič , deux autres favoris de la Grande Boucle .

Les trois champions et les autres coureurs blessés dans l'accident sont maintenant engagés dans une course contre-la-montre afin de se remettre complètement avant un été riche, qui comprend notamment le Tour de France et les Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024 .

Trois champions victimes d'une mauvaise chute

À une trentaine de kilomètres de l'arrivée, la descente d'Oleta a fait des dégâts quand une douzaine de coureurs a été impliquée dans une chute à la sortie d'un virage serré vers la droite. Certains d'entre eux sont tombés dans le fossé et même sur des blocs en pierre.

Vingegaard, double tenant du titre sur le Tour de France, a passé plusieurs minutes au sol avant de quitter la course sur une civière et d'être emmené dans une ambulance.

« C'était une mauvaise chute, mais heureusement, son état est stable et il est conscient . Les examens à l'hôpital ont révélé qu'il a une clavicule et plusieurs côtes cassées », a détaillé son équipe Visma | Lease a Bike sur les réseaux sociaux.

« Des examens complémentaires à l'hôpital ont révélé qu'il souffrait également d'une contusion pulmonaire et d'un pneumothorax », ont-ils ajouté ce vendredi 5 avril.

Des fractures mais pas d'inquiétudes pour les grandes échéances à venir

Remco Evenepoel, vainqueur du Tour d'Espagne en 2022, avait son bras droit en écharpe après la chute. Son équipe, Soudal Quick Step, a expliqué que le Belge souffrait d'une fracture de la clavicule droite et de l'omoplate . Elle a annoncé sur les réseaux sociaux qu'il s'était rendu à l'hôpital pour des examens complémentaires.

« Remco se rendra en Belgique vendredi, où il subira une opération de la clavicule et des examens complémentaires à l'hôpital de Herentals. Nous vous tiendrons au courant en temps voulu », a déclaré l'équipe.

Le champion du monde 2022 doit renoncer à la défense de son titre sur Liège-Bastogne-Liège , mais ne perd pas de vue un été dans l'Hexagone.

« Évidemment, mes plans à court terme sont chamboulés mais j'espère que ceux à moyen et long terme resteront inchangés », a-t-il annoncé sur les réseaux sociaux.

Malgré la gravité des diagnostics, la participation au Tour de France et aux Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024 n'est, à ce jour, pas remise en cause pour les deux cyclistes.

Le départ du Tour de France sera donné dans moins de trois mois

C'est aussi le cas pour Primoz Roglič, même s'il n'ira pas au bout du Tour du Pays basque. Le Slovène a également été contraint à l'abandon alors qu'il était le leader du classement général. Le champion olympique en titre du contre-la-montre n'a pas été touché aussi gravement que ses deux rivaux, souffrant simplement de blessures superficielles. Les fans du cycliste slovène espèrent que le coureur de 34 ans sera de retour sur son vélo bien avant la saison des grands tours.

Parmi les autres blessés figurent l'Australien Jay Vine et l'Érythréen Natnael Tesfatsion .

Les coureurs gravement blessés devront se battre contre le temps pour se rétablir et retrouver une forme suffisante avant le Tour de France. La 111e édition de la mythique épreuve débutera à Florence , en Italie, le 29 juin, et se terminera trois semaines plus tard à Nice, le dimanche 21 juillet.

Les épreuves de cyclisme sur route des Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024 débuteront par le contre-la-montre individuel le 27 juillet puis la course en ligne hommes aura lieu le 3 août.

Tour de Houston bicyclists urge for long-term measures to improve rider safety on city's roads

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Thousands of bicyclists took off from downtown Houston Sunday morning for the 17th annual Tour de Houston , a ride that travels through some of the city's most scenic areas.

Participants were in good spirits as they were greeted with beautiful weather at the starting line on Avenida de las Americas, right next to Discovery Green. Mayor John Whitmire joined Apache Corporation, the event's sponsor, to send off each of the three groups, riding in the 20, 40, and 60-mile routes.

The ride almost didn't take place this year.

Back in January, the Mayor's Office of Special Events preliminarily canceled the 2024 event due to a lack of funding. Whitmire said this was done without his consultation and when he found out, he explored other options to keep the event going.

The longest route takes participants through Houston's historic neighborhoods, vibrant districts, and parks before going all the way down to Clear Lake Park in Seabrook. The intersections along the way were not closed, but manned by traffic officers.

While the event allowed bicyclists to ride safely on Houston's roads on Sunday, some riders shared with ABC13 some of the long-term measures they'd like to see to make the city more bike-friendly.

"If they could connect the bike trails together to make even long trails, that would be the best thing the City of Houston could do to improve biking in the city, in my opinion. Connect the widest trails, like White Oak and Spring Creek. Those kinds of mega trails," Ulises Martin said.

"A clearly marked lane for bikes. We do know that we have to share with cars because the City of Houston is so car-oriented. Make a better effort of campaigning to let motorists know to be aware of cyclists," Phi Nguyen said.

Data obtained by ABC13 shows 13 cyclists died in accidents in Harris County in 2023. ABC13 asked the mayor where city officials stand on the issue of bicyclist safety.

"We're growing at a rapid rate. Our general mobility is very important. We've done great things along Allen Parkway. We need to make sure that there's a safe passage in Memorial Park. So there's a lot of things we still have to do," Whitmire said.

Meanwhile, organizers said proceeds from Tour de Houston will go towards the city's RE-Plant Houston Program, which helps plant thousands of trees and reforest parks and greenspaces.

Tour de France 2024 Route stage 16: Gruissan - Nîmes

The 2nd stage of the 2017 Vuelta a España went in the opposite direction. The race from Nîmes to Gruissan added up to more than 200 kilometres and featured less than 600 vertical metres. Strong winds tore up the peloton in the finale before Yves Lampaert took of n the last kilometre. The Belgian took the stage win and the leader’s jersey.

The route from Gruissan to Nîmes travels more inland and the altitude gain is almost 1,200 metres. Which is still good news for the fast men. All the more, sice the toughest climb – Côte de Mas Cordon, 7 kilometres at 3.4% – appears around the midway marker.

Gruissan was not included in the Tour de France before but the opposite is true for Nîmes. The race visited the ancient city three times in the past decade. Alexander Kristoff (2014), Caleb Ewan (2019) and Nils Politt (2021) took the spoils in those editions – the first two in the sprint, the latter from the breakaway.
