Le Tour de France 2017 - Stage Twenty One

The competition for the 2018 Tour de France yellow jersey was as tight as it has been in years. Geraint Thomas won the race, edging out Tom Dumoulin and teammate Chris Froome, who was riding for his fifth yellow jersey.

They took on a difficult and varied course. This year’s Tour covered nearly 2,100 miles, and included team and individual trials, a brutal cobbles stage, and mountains stages both long and very short over devilish climbs, old and new.

There are a ton of ways to fall in love with this Tour , and this year’s iteration touched them all, from the white jersey competition and a glimpse at cycling’s future, to the green jersey competition, in which Peter Sagan once again blew away the competition.

You can relive all of it below.

Saturday, July 28

Summary: Tom Dumoulin eked past Chris Froome to win the last competitive stage of the Tour de France. Geraint Thomas secured the yellow jersey with a strong third-place ride of his own. Primož Roglič struggled (by his standards) by finishing eight, and slipping off the podium to fourth place overall.

Stage 19: 200.5 kilometers from Lourdes to Laruns

Friday, July 27

Summary: Primož Roglič descended his way to victory from the summit of the Col d’Aubisque to move up to third place on the general classification and turn Saturday’s time trial into a fascinating podium battle amongst him, Tom Dumoulin, and Chris Froome. Geraint Thomas, meanwhile emphasized that he is the strongest rider in France, calmly and easily following attacks on the Tour’s last mountain stage, then sprinting from a bunch to take second place.

Stage 18: 171 kilometers from Trie-sur-Baïse to Pau

Thursday, July 26

Summary: Arnaud Démare won a plain ‘ol sprint finish among the few sprinters left in the Tour who haven’t yet been nipped by a time cut. Peter Sagan accelerated but didn’t challenge for the stage — he has already sewn up the green jersey competition if he can stay upright, and he was likely still hurting from a hard fall on Stage 17. All of the yellow jersey contenders made it across the finish line without much drama. ( Full recap )

Stage 17: 65 kilometers from Bagnères-de-Luchon to Saint-Lary-Soulon Col du Portet

Wednesday, July 25

Summary: Nairo Quintana won Stage 17 with a solo effort from the base of the 16-kilometer climb to Saint-Lary-Soulan, showing the form that made him such an exciting rider in 2013. Behind him, Chris Froome cracked, finishing 48 seconds behind yellow jersey bearer and teammate Geraint Thomas and effectively knocking himself out of contention for a fifth Tour victory. The race is now effectively down to two men: Thomas, and fifth-place finisher Tom Dumoulin.

1. Nairo Quintana (Movistar) - 2h 21’ 28”

2. Dan Martin (UAE Team Emirates) - + 28”

Stage 16: 218 kilometers from Carcassonne to Bagnères-de-Luchon

Tuesday, July 24

Summary: It was wild day everywhere except in the general classification competition. First, riders were accidentally pepper sprayed while police were breaking up a protest. Then Philippe Gilbert went solo and suffered a scary crash on the descent from Col de Portet d’Aspet (he appears to be OK). THEN Adam Yates crashed while descending to a stage victory in Bagnères-de-Luchon, allowing Julian Alaphilippe to slip past and secure his second stage win of the 2018 Tour.

Meanwhile, there was no change in the top 10 of the GC.

10. Pierre Latour (AG2R La Mondiale) - + 1’ 18”

Stage 15: 181.5 kilometers from Millau to Carcassonne

Sunday, July 22

Summary: A long descent before a flat finish assured this would be an uneventful day for the general classification contenders, who all rolled in together about 12 minutes behind the real race. Magnus Cort Nielsen was much too powerful for Ion Izaguirre and Bauke Mollema, who all broke away together in the crosswinds into Carcassonne. Rafal Majka made a brave solo attempt on the Category 1 climb to Pic de Nore, but was caught near the bottom of the descent.

10. Julien Bernard (Trek-Segafredo) - + 2’ 38”

Stage 14: 188 kilometers from Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux to Mende

Saturday, July 21

Summary: It was a day of two races, with the general classification contenders content to let a big breakaway take a lead of more than 20 minutes. Omar Fraile won the stage with a move on the steep three-kilometer climb to the finish in Mende. Jasper Stuyven, who finished third, was the most aggressive rider on the day, going solo with 35 kilometers left in the stage, but getting caught with just a few hundred meters left in the final climb by Fraile and, eventually, Julian Alaphilippe.

Much later, the yellow jersey contenders duked it out. Primož Roglic nipped roughly eight seconds with a solo move midway through the climb. The current podium — Geraint Thomas, Chris Froome, and Tom Dumoulin — followed Roglic, finishing together. Despite riding near his hometown, Romain Bardet was the most notable struggler, giving up 14 seconds to Thomas, the yellow jersey bearer.

Stage 13: 169.5 kilometers from Bourg d’Oisans to Valence

Friday, July 20

Summary: A by-the-numbers flat stage that must have been a relief for the riders after a breathless Stage 12. Peter Sagan won his third stage of the 2018 Tour in a defanged bunch sprint after a number of the Tour’s pure sprinters were eliminated from the race because of time cuts in the Alps .

Stage 12, 175.5 kilometers from Bourg-Saint-Maurice Les Arcs to Alpe d’Huez

Thursday, July 19

Summary: Geraint Thomas won his second stage in a row, emerging from a slug fest up Alpe d’Huez to win a sprint finish, capping a wildly entertaining day. 10th-place finisher Steven Kruijswijk gave the best effort of the day, going solo on the ascent to Col de la Croix de Fer to nearly win the stage.

Wednesday, July 18

Summary: Geraint Thomas won the stage with an attack with five kilometers to go, overcoming Tom Dumoulin and securing the yellow jersey. Teammate Chris Froome finished 20 seconds behind, setting up palace intrigue going forward with the Sky teammates now the best positioned riders for the yellow jersey. ( Full recap )

Stage 10, 158.5 kilometers from Annecy to Le Grand-Bornand

Tuesday, July 17

Summary: Just two days after France won the World Cup, Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe soloed away from the field with 30 kilometers remaining in the Tour’s first mountain stage and won handily, securing the polka dot King of the Mountains jersey in the process. Farther back, little changed in the general classification. ( Full recap )

Stage 9, 156.5 kilometers from Arras Citadelle to Roubaix

Sunday, July 15

Summary: A hectic day of crashes and dust was capped with a beautiful stage victory for John Degenkolb. The German rider who had suffered a horrific training accident in 2016 was moved to tears after the victory, which he dedicated to a close friend who passed away recently.

It was a much worse day for BMC Racing, which lost Richie Porte to a crash early in the race, then saw assumptive team leader Tejay Van Garderen lose minutes to crashes and mechanical errors of his own. Education First-Drapac’s Rigoberto Uran was another big loser, shipping nearly two minutes on the stage because of a late crash. ( Full recap )

10. Timothy Dupoint (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) - + 27”

Stage 8, 181 kilometers from Dreux to Amiens Métropole

Saturday, July 14

Summary: Dylan Groenewegen won a hectic sprint on Bastille Day. Peter Sagan broke early for the line after leadout trains never materialized. André Greipel and Fernando Gaviria chased and rubbed shoulders when Gaviria tried to pass in the collapsing space between the lefthand barriers and Greipel’s meaty shoulders. Gaviria tried to make the Gorilla move over with a head butt — which is probably not the smartest thing to do at 60-plus kilometers an hour, but thankfully this wasn’t Sagan-Cavendish redux. Greipel and Gaviria finished second and third at the line, respectively, but race commisaires decided to declassify both of them , making Peter Sagan the technical second-place finisher.

Further back, Stage 6 winner Dan Martin suffered a one-minute, 16-second setback because of a hard fall with roughly 17 kilometers to go, continuing the week’s big theme of yellow jersey contenders shooting themselves in the foot.

Stage 7, 231 kilometers from Fougères to Chartres

Friday, July 13

Summary: The longest stage of the 2018 Tour de France was also its least eventful. At least Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen broke up the Gaviria-Sagan hegemony, outdueling both in an uphill sprint for his first stage win of the 2018 Tour. There no changes in the general classification. We have one more transition stage Saturday before COBBLES.

Stage 6, 181 kilometers from Brest to Mûr-de-Bretagne Guerlédan

Thursday, July 12

Summary: Dan Martin launched a long solo attack near the bottom of the second turn up the Mûr de Bretagne to win Stage 6, perhaps solidifying his general classification hopes while others faltered. Chris Froome suffered somewhat, finishing eight seconds back. Worse off were Romain Bardet and Tom Dumoulin, who lost 31 seconds and 53 seconds, respectively. Both riders suffered mechanicals late in the stage. Dumoulin had to time trial with two other teammates to limit his losses. Bardet was able to get back with the bunch, but fell back as the pace picked up on the final climb.

Stage 5, 204.5 kilometers from Lorient to Quimper

Wednesday, July 11

Summary: Peter Sagan won his second stage of the 2018 Tour de France, following Philippe Gilbert’s attack on the final climb to the finish in Quimper and ultimately pulling away from Sonny Colbrelli at the line. There was little change to the general classification — many of the biggest contenders finished in a group two seconds back of the stage leaders. ( Full recap ).

Stage 4, 195 kilometers from La Baule to Sarzeau

Tuesday, July 10

Summary: A four-man breakaway nearly went the distance, which would have been fun, because it consisted of two Frenchmen — Jerome Cousin and Anthony Pereze — and two Belgians — Guillaume van Keirsbulck and Dimitri Claeys — on the same day as the France-Belgium World Cup semifinal. The break was fully roped in with just under one kilometer to go, setting up a traditional sprint that Fernando Gaviria won in a near-photo finish for his second stage win of the 2018 Tour.

Stage 3, 35.5 kilometers in Cholet

Monday, July 9

Summary: BMC Racing won the stage, putting classics-specialist and defending Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet in a much-deserved yellow jersey. Richie Porte (BMC), Chris Froome (Sky), and Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) all made up a significant chunk of the time they lost on Stage 1 crashes. ( Full recap ).

Stage 2, 182.5 kilometers from Mouilleron-Saint-Germain to La Roche-sur-Yon

Sunday, July 8

Summary: Peter Sagan won his first (and not likely last) stage of the 2018 Tour de France, edging out a charging Sonny Colbrelli on a false flat finish. The final bunch sprint was smaller than expected because of a crash on a hard right bend with approximately one kilometer to go that took out Stage 1 winner Fernando Gaviria, among many others. Sagan will wear yellow for the team time trial on Stage 3.

Stage 1, 201 kilometers from Noirmoutier-en-L’île to Fontenary-le-Comte

Saturday, July 7

Summary: The first breakaway of the Tour de France consisted of French riders Yoann Offredo, Jerome Cousin, and Kevin Ledanois. Ledanois won the polka-dot jersey on a dinky climb. They all gave a valiant effort under the sun, but the were completely closed down with 10 kilometers to go.

Young Colombian star Fernando Gaviria won a bunch sprint over Peter Sagan, but the big story will be the crashes that took place in the final kilometers, taking out several general classification contenders. Chris Froome, Richie Porte, Nairo Quintana, and Adam Yates all lost siginificant time. ( Recap ).

Geraint Thomas won the 2018 Tour de France on Sunday, finishing safely in the peloton at the end of Stage 21. (Alexander Kristoff won the final stage on the Champs-Élysées.) Thomas was joined on the podium by second-place finisher Tom Dumoulin and third-place finisher Chris Froome. Peter Sagan earned his sixth green jersey as winner of the Points Classification, while Julian Alaphilippe took the climber’s polka dot jersey. Pierre Latour won the white jersey as the Tour’s Best Young Rider.

Stage 20 - Geraint Thomas

Cycling: 105th Tour de France 2018 / Stage 20

Geraint Thomas was untouchable on the climbs this year, but his track background—he’s a double Olympic gold medalist in the team pursuit—also makes him an impeccable time trialist. As expected, he was comfortably in control during the Tour’s lone individual time trial and cruised home in third to preserve a 1:51 overall lead before tomorrow’s largely ceremonial stage to Paris.

Who’s really winning?

Well, Thomas. But more broadly: Team Sky. It won two stages with Thomas, put riders in first and third overall, and has one of the sport’s most promising young talents on hand in Egan Bernal. Riding his first three-week Grand Tour ever, the 21-year-old Colombian was one of Thomas’ most vital support riders in the mountains and still finished 15th overall. His future looks bright and, as long as he stays with Sky, so does the team’s.

Stage 19 - Geraint Thomas

Cycling: 105th Tour de France 2018 / Stage 19

Geraint Thomas remained the overall leader after fending off attacks from all of his rivals at the end of Stage 19, the Tour’s final day in the mountains. Primož Roglič won the stage in Laruns and rose from fourth to third in the General Classification, knocking Chris Froome out of the top three. Thomas finished in second on the stage and now leads the Tour by 2:05 over Tom Dumoulin and 2:24 over Roglič.

With only two stages left in the Tour, Thomas looks assured of winning the race overall. Saturday’s 31K individual time trial is his final test, but given his track record in previous Grand Tours he should perform well enough to defend his lead. The bigger question is who will join him on the final podium in Paris. With Dumoulin, Roglič, and Froome separated by only 32 seconds, second- and third-place overall are still up for grabs.

Stage 18 - Geraint Thomas

Cycling: 105th Tour de France 2018 / Stage 18

Geraint Thomas hasn’t given up the yellow jersey since taking it on Stage 11. The Welshman finished safely with the main peloton on Stage 18, losing no time to any of his rivals. (Arnaud Démare won the stage over Christophe Laporte and Alexander Kristoff.) Heading into Stage 19, the final mountain stage of the Tour, Thomas still leads Tom Dumoulin by 1:59 and Chris Froome by 2:31.

Thomas has a comfortable advantage heading into Friday’s final Pyrenean stage, with only Dumoulin as an outside threat to his place atop the General Classification. Team Sky has proven itself to be the strongest squad in the race and should have no trouble protecting Thomas’ lead.

Stage 17 - Geraint Thomas

Cycling: 105th Tour de France 2018 / Stage 17

Not only did Geraint Thomas brilliantly defend his yellow jersey on the hardest stage of the Tour, but he actually extended his lead, attacking near the finish on the Col du Portet summit to gain time on his closest rivals. More importantly, Chris Froome cracked 2K from the finish, leaving no doubt as to the true leader of Team Sky. Thomas now leads Sunweb’s Tom Dumoulin by 1:59 and teammate Froome by 2:31.

Thomas has ridden a perfect race so far, and with four stages left he looks assured of taking the biggest win of his career. After a flat stage on Thursday, he faces one last day in the mountains (Friday) and an individual time trial (Saturday). But given the way he’s been riding, only sickness or bad luck could derail him now. Froome was the day's biggest loser. He came into the race hoping to win his fifth Tour, but is now in danger of not even finishing on the podium.

Stage 16 - Geraint Thomas

Cycling: 105th Tour de France 2018 / Stage 16

Geraint Thomas made it through the first of three days in Pyrenees, escorted up and down the day’s major climbs by his Sky teammates. He still leads the Tour by 1:39 over teammate Chris Froome and 1:50 over Sunweb’s Tom Dumoulin. Julian Alaphilippe, who leads the Tour’s King of the Mountains competition, won the day in Luchon for his second stage victory this year.

Thomas survived another day at the top of the General Classification and looks one step closer to winning his first Tour de France. Stage 17 is his last major hurdle: At only 65K in length and with three major summits, it’s the toughest day of the Tour. If Thomas still has the yellow by tomorrow’s finish, he should keep it all the way to Paris.

Stage 15 - Geraint Thomas

Geraint Thomas finished safely with the main peloton on Stage 15, meaning the Welshman still wears the yellow jersey as overall leader. Astana’s Magnus Cort Nielsen won the 181.5K stage from Millau to Carcassonne, but sits too far down the General Classification to threaten the overall lead. Thomas still leads the Tour by 1:39 over Sky teammate Chris Froome and 1:50 over Sunweb’s Tom Dumoulin.

Team Sky controlled Stage 15 from start to finish, protecting Thomas and Froome at the front of the bunch while letting a large breakaway filled with out-of-contention riders escape. After a rest day on Monday, the Tour enters the Pyrenees for a series of stages that could decide the final outcome. Can Thomas defend his lead through Paris? Will Froome be ready to pounce should his teammate falter? Does Tom Dumoulin have the legs to defeat both of them? Stage 16 should start to give us some answers.

Stage 14 - Geraint Thomas

Another day in yellow for Geraint Thomas, and the Welshman looked solid on the steep ramps of the Cote de Croix Neuve. Despite attacks from Primoz Roglic and Tom Dumoulin, he never seemed to be in much difficulty and had little trouble reeling in Dumoulin and limiting the gap to Roglic. His Sky teammate Chris Froome, who sits in second overall, also rode strongly.

Team Sky is looking its usual dominant self. After some serious work early in the stage to control the gap to a 32-rider breakaway, Sky finally backed off, allowing the leaders an astonishing 19-minute advantage at the base of the final climb. Are those cracks? Probably not. Rather, Sky seems to have made a tactical decision to save its strength for the Pyrenees.

Stage 13 - Geraint Thomas

Geraint Thomas got through another stage with the race lead safely in hand. Not only did Team Sky notch another day in yellow, they got some welcome help from teams like Trek-Segafredo and Groupama-FDJ. With so many sprinters out of the race already, those left were motivated for the finish and directed their teams to help chase the day’s breakaway, giving Sky a much-needed day off.

Over three days in the Alps, the race saw some of its best sprinters drop out. Double-stage winners Fernando Gaviria and Dylan Groenewegen went home, as did Mark Cavendish, Marcel Kittel, and Andre Greipel. That essentially cleared the field for Peter Sagan, who won the bunch finish today for his third stage victory this year. Barring a mishap, he looks set to tie Erik Zabel’s record of six green jerseys come Paris.

Stage 12 - Geraint Thomas

Geraint Thomas defended his yellow jersey by winning his second straight mountaintop finish on Thursday. The Welshman sprinted clear of a small group of favorites at the summit of Alpe d’Huez, extending his overall lead to 1:38 over teammate Chris Froome and 1:50 over Sunweb’s Tom Dumoulin.

With Thomas and Froome still in first and second place overall, it remains Team Sky’s Tour to lose. But the competition hasn’t give up yet, particularly Dumoulin and AG2R’s Romain Bardet, the only riders who launched serious attacks against the Sky duo on Stage 12. Look for these two to lead the resistance once the race hits the Pyrenees next week.

Stage 11 - Geraint Thomas

After biding his time for more than a week, Geraint Thomas finally pulled on the yellow jersey. The Welshman had been sitting only a handful of seconds away from the overall lead since last Monday’s team time trial, and after winning Stage 11’s summit finish in La Rosière, he finally moved to the top of the General Classification. Thomas now leads the Tour by 1:25 over Sky teammate Chris Froome and 1:44 over Sunweb’s Tom Dumoulin.

The General Classification finally erupted on the slopes of La Rosière, with Team Sky on track to win its sixth Tour de France. Dumoulin and Movistar’s Alejandro Valverde did their best to put Sky under pressure, but the British team never let them get too far up the road. On the final climb, first Thomas then Froome rode away from the GC group, with Thomas winning the stage and Froome finishing third. The teammates now sit first- and second-place overall, making the 2018 Tour Sky’s race to lose.

Stage 10 - Greg Van Avermaet

Greg Van Avermaet valiantly defended his yellow jersey on the first of three days in the Alps, keeping his spot as the overall leader yet again. The Belgian went on the attack early in Stage 10 and hung on to finish fourth. He now leads the Tour by 2:22 over Geraint Thomas and 3:10 over Alejandro Valverde. Julian Alaphilippe, meanwhile, won the stage and took the polka dot jersey as the new leader of the King of the Mountains competition.

Despite extending his lead, Van Avermaet is not a true threat to win the 2018 Tour. Team Sky looked formidable in controlling the race behind the breakaway, with three riders cresting the summit of the day’s final climb while leading the group containing the Tour’s overall contenders. With two tough Alpine days ahead, Sky looks ready to blow the race apart.

Stage 9 - Greg Van Avermaet

After nine stages, Greg Van Avermaet still wears the yellow, adding to his lead on the cobbles of Stage 9 by winning the day’s Bonus Sprint and finishing second at the finish in Roubaix. He now leads Geraint Thomas by 43 seconds and Philippe Gilbert by 44. John Degenkolb won the stage, with Yves Lampaert coming in third. Van Avermaet will carry the lead into the Tour’s first rest day on Monday, with the Alps coming Tuesday.

Today was a bad day for several GC contenders, but none more so than Richie Porte, who crashed 10K into the stage and broke his collarbone. It’s the second consecutive year that the Australian has crashed out the Tour, both times on Stage 9. As the race heads into its first rest day, Alejandro Valverde leads the “Virtual GC” with Chris Froome close on his heels. Three hard days in the Alps come next, so expect the GC picture to become much clearer. Van Avermaet will most likely lose the yellow to one of the overall favorites.

Stage 8 - Greg Van Avermaet

Dylan Groenewegen won his second stage in a row, but Greg Van Avermaet held onto the yellow jersey for another day by finishing with the main peloton on Stage 8 in Amiens. The Belgian added a second to his lead thanks to a Bonus Sprint in Loeuilly, and now leads Team Sky’s Geraint Thomas by 7 seconds and his BMC teammate, Tejay van Garderen, by 9. Sunday’s Stage 9 features 22K of cobblestone roads, and Van Avermaet is a master at riding them. Look for him to keep the yellow through Monday’s rest day.

Dan Martin, who finished sixth in last year’s Tour, won Thursday’s stage atop the Mûr de Bretagne and looked ready to score another top-10 finish overall. But a crash today saw the Irishman lose more than a minute—a major setback, considering how densely packed the GC contenders currently sit. The extent of his injuries is still unclear, but with Sunday’s cobbled stage to Roubaix up next, he could lose his shot at another high finish at the Tour.

Stage 7 - Greg Van Avermaet

For the fifth day in a row, Greg Van Avermaet pulled on the yellow jersey. The Belgian finished 16th in the field sprint at the end of Stage 7, the longest of this year’s Tour. Dylan Groenewegen won the stage, ahead of Fernando Gaviria and Peter Sagan. However, none of these riders pose a threat to Van Avermaet’s place atop the General Classification.

Van Avermaet actually extended his lead today, thanks to the 3-second time bonus he scored by winning a Bonus Sprint in Nonvilliers-Grandhoux. He now leads Geraint Thomas by 6 seconds and his BMC teammate Tejay van Garderen by 8 second. Saturday’s Stage 8 is not expected to shake up the GC, but Sunday’s cobbled stage to Roubaix certainly will.

Stage 6 - Greg Van Avermaet

Greg Van Avermaet finished 12th on the uphill finish atop Mûr de Bretagne, which was just enough to hold onto the yellow jersey. (Dan Martin won the stage ahead of Pierre Latour and Alejandro Valverde.) Van Avermaet leads by 3 seconds over Geraint Thomas and 5 seconds over BMC teammate Tejay van Garderen. With two easy transitional stages up next followed by Sunday’s cobbled stage to Roubaix, he has a good chance of keeping the yellow until the Tour’s first rest day.

Lost amid Chris Froome’s doping drama was the fact that his teammate, Geraint Thomas, was quietly building a case to lead Team Sky should Froome not be allowed to race. Thomas, who won the Tour’s opening time trial last year, took June’s Critérium du Dauphiné, a mountainous warmup that often serves as a predictor of what happens in July. The Welshman was not involved in the crash that took down Froome on Stage 1, which means he’s essentially lost no time so far. He’s also an accomplished Classics rider who can certainly handle himself on the cobbles of Stage 9. Should Van Avermaet falter, look for Thomas to take yellow before the race hits the Alps next week.

Stage 5 - Greg Van Avermaet

Greg Van Avermaet Tour de France Stage 5

Greg Van Avermaet finished seventh on Stage 5’s tough uphill finish in Quimper, successfully defending his yellow jersey. Peter Sagan won the stage (his second of the Tour), but due to time lost during Monday’s team time trial was not a threat to take overall lead. Van Avermaet now leads his BMC teammate, Tejay van Garderen, by 2 seconds. Philippe Gilbert still sits third overall, at only 3 seconds behind. Tomorrow’s finish really suits Gilbert, making him a serious threat to Van Avermaet’s spell in yellow.

It’s still a little early, but when it comes to the Tour’s Points Classification, Sagan looks on track to win a record-tying sixth green jersey . The world champion has finished either first or second on each of the four road stages so far, giving him a hefty lead in the competition. Assuming he makes it to Paris, the green jersey looks like it’s his.

Stage 4 - Greg Van Avermaet

Greg Van Avermaet finished safely in the bunch at the end of Stage 4, meaning he’ll spend another day in the yellow jersey. Fernando Gaviria won his second stage of the Tour, but even with the 10-second time bonus, the Colombian could not overtake Van Avermaet in the General Classification. The next two stages are tough, with lots of climbing on tap as the race heads through the heart of Brittany. But Van Avermaet can handle it, giving him a chance to hold onto his jersey for a few more stages.

After only four stages, Sunweb’s Tom Dumoulim is the current leader of the “virtual GC” as the best-placed of the Tour’s overall contenders. The Dutchman avoided crashes during the first three road stages, and his team finished fifth in Stage 3’s team trial. Two challenging stages in Brittany lie ahead, but things look good so far for the 2017 Giro d’Italia winner.

Stage 3 - Greg Van Avermaet

Team BMC won today’s 35K team time trial in Cholet, and in doing so put Greg Van Avermaet into the yellow jersey. Team Sky and Quick-Step Floors finished the day in second and third, 4 and 7 seconds behind BMC. Van Avermaet is tied with teammate Tejay van Garderen on time, but took yellow by virtue of being placed higher at the day’s start. Team Sky’s Geraint Thomas sits third overall at 3 seconds behind, and Quick-Step’s Philippe Gilbert is fourth at 5 seconds behind.

It’s still a long way to Paris, but Rigoberto Uran must be feeling happy. The Colombian, who finished second overall last year, lost no time during the dangerous opening stages this weekend. His team, EF Education First–Drapac, finished only 35 seconds behind BMC and even closer to Sky and Mitchelton-Scott—all teams whose GC leaders lost nearly a minute after crashes on Stage 1. If Uran stays out of trouble during the rest of the Tour’s first week, he’ll enter the Alps well positioned to challenge for the overall victory.

Tour de France 2018: Magnus Cort Nielsen wins stage 15 – as it happened

Magnus Cort Nielsen secured his first Tour de France stage win while Geraint Thomas kept hold of his yellow jersey for another day at least

22 Jul 2018 News: Sky's Moscon kicked out of Tour de France
22 Jul 2018 Magnus Cort Nielsen wins the 15th stage of the Tour de France!

News: Sky's Moscon kicked out of Tour de France

And with that, I’m gone. It’s been an intriguing day, in which Magnus Cort Nielsen announced himself with a fine climb and a strong sprint, and in which the big GC battle was postponed for another 48 hours at least. Bye for now!

Geraint Thomas is re-presented with his yellow jersey. How long will he keep it for? Tomorrow is a rest day, which is followed by three mountain stages with one flat stage snuck among them, an individual time trial and a procession to Paris.

And Bauke Mollema:

He’s really fast, and it was a tactical final. We worked well together [to chase Majka], that went really well, then everybody was looking at each other, a bit of a game with 10km to go. I got away with Izagirre and Nielsen. He’s so fast, it was really difficult to drop him, and I think he deserved to win today.

Here’s Magnus Cort Nielsen:

It’s amazing. Something I’ve been dreaming of. This is my first year here on the Tour and I’m so happy to take my first victory. It really was perfect. They said this was the stage for me, and I should go out in the breakaway, and everything worked out perfectly.

Here’s our first-take report on today’s stage:

The GC favourites cross the line in a big group, positions again unchanged, 13min 10sec behind Cort.

Team Sky are all together at the front of the peloton, with Froome and Thomas riding side by side, chatting.

The peloton is 1.7km away from the finish line, and in no kind of hurry.

There was a nasty crash as the bulk of the breakaway came through to cross the line, with Damien Howson and Arthur Vichot among them. All recovered to cross the line.

And a top 10:

Today’s top five:

1. Magnus Cort Nielsen 2. Ion Izagirre 3. Bauke Mollema 4. Michael Valgren 5. Toms Skujins

Magnus Cort is the first Danish rider top win a Tour stage since Nicki Sørensen won in 2009. #TDF2018 — Gracenote Olympic (@GracenoteGold) July 22, 2018

The peloton is still over 10 minutes away from the finish line.

Michael Valgren comes in fourth and receives a hug of gratitude from his compatriot and team-mate.

Magnus Cort Nielsen wins the 15th stage of the Tour de France!

That’s a first ever Tour de France stage win for the 25-year-old Dane!

Magnus Cort Nielsen celebrates as he crosses the finish line.

350m to go: Nielsen still in the lead, waiting for someone to challenge him.

1km to go: Magnus Cort Nielsen is absolutely bossing this. Can either of the other two outsprint him at the end?

2km to go: Into Carcassonne they go, and it’s one of three for victory: Izagirre, Mollema or Cort Nielsen.

5km to go: Ion Izagirre, Bauke Mollema and Magnus Cort Nielsen have gone ahead, assisted by some team-mates who contrived to let them go, and they seem set to fight for first.

8km to go: The leaders are being battered by a savage crosswind as they head towards Carcassonne. It has turned a little tactical at the front of the group, where positioning for the final sprint is more important than outright speed at this point.

10km to go: Majka has stuck with the seven riders who caught him, and one of the eight will win the stage.

13km to go: A helicopter shot shows a strange pattern of yellow lines on the old walls of Carcassonne. On ITV4 they’re puzzled about what they’re there for, but if you stand at precisely the right spot it all makes sense.

15km to go: Majka is going to be caught in the next minute or two.

16km to go: So, in short, there’s a terrific culture of trufficulture in Villeneuve-Minervois.

17km to go: The leaders have just gone through Villeneuve-Minervois, the last town before the finish. “Our village, with its rich history of viticulture, trufficulture, and forestry is turning resolutely towards the future,” apparently.

18km to go: This is what the final kilometre of today’s stage looks like. Will Majka still be at the front when he gets there?

This is what the last kilometer looks like for S15 #TDf2018 Will it be a small group sprint, or will we see a late attack and a solo win? Majka's lead is 16 seconds with 22kms to go. pic.twitter.com/Hg66eKE02r — Trek-Segafredo (@TrekSegafredo) July 22, 2018

23km to go: There is now a seven-man group chasing Majka, composed of Magnus Cort Nielsen and Michael Valgren Andersen of Astana, Bauke Mollema and Toms Skujiņš of Trek-Segafredo, Domenico Pozzovivo and Ion Izagirre of Merida and Lilian Calmejane of Direct Energie. They are just 15sec behind the leader.

26.5km to go: Majka is about to reach Cabrespine, famous mainly for a giant cave. “The background and the lighting effects make it a spectacle like no other,” apparently.

31km to go: Rafal Majka has a lead of 25sec over Mollema and Cort Nielsen, and they are screaming down the hill towards the finish line. Daniel Martin is just about to crest the Pic de Nore, exactly a minute ahead of the peloton.

40km to go: Bauke Mollema and Magnus Cort Nielsen have gone on their own to chase Majka down. They are 29sec behind the leader.

41km to go: It is barren and exposed towards the top of the Pic de Nore, with a howling wind to deal with. Majka has just completed the climb.

42km to go: Rafal Majka continues on his own, at the front of the race. There’s 2km of climbing to go, and the remainder of the race is mostly downhill. There’s an eight-man group, currently led by Domenico Pozzovivo, attempting to catch him, but they’re currently 41sec behind.

Rafal Majka of Poland and Team Bora Hansgrohe.

44km to go: Dan Martin was 6min 54sec behind in the GC classification at the start of the day. Despite that disadvantage, Team Sky have decided not to let him get away from the peloton, and are accelerating to pull him back.

45.5km to go: Halfway up the Pic de Nore and Rafal Mijka has not just caught the leaders, he’s overtaken them.

46km to go: Here’s a photo of Michal Kwiatkowski, with telltale eagle livery:

46km to go: Rafał Majka has set off at the front of the breakaway group, trying to catch the leaders. And Dan Martin has broken off the front of the peloton.

47km to go: “Who’s the Sky cyclist with red on helmet, shirt and what’s that for? Aggressive performance?” wonders Paul in Holland. That’s Michal Kwiatkowski, who has special bespoke kit as Polish champion. The clue is the eagle emblem, which you can see if you get close enough.

49km to go: Magnus Cort Nielsen, who has never won a Tour de France stage but certainly has the ability to do so, is at the front of the group now.

50km to go: So those in the breakaway who want to win the stage have to start working on catching the leading pair. They have thus upped the pace, and the 24 riders involved have stretched out along the road. Ion Izagirre is at the front of the group, and Sagan near the back. Whether that’s because he’s tactically biding his time, or because he’s not feeling at his best, remains to be seen, and probably will be seen in the next 10 minutes or so.

51km to go: With 10km of solid climbing to go before the leaders reach the peak of the Pic de Nore, the leading pair have a two-minute lead over the rest of the breakaway, and a 13min lead over the peloton.

54km to go: The sprint points in full:

1. Julien Bernard (20 points) 2. Fabien Grellier (17) And then, a minute or so later: 3. Peter Sagan (15) 4. Greg Van Avermaet (13) 5. Pawel Poljanski (11) 6. Rafal Majka (10) 7. Daryl Impey (9) 8. Arthur Vichot (8) 9. Damian Howson (7) 10. Silvan Dillier (6) 11. Imanol Erviti (5) 12. Sonny Colbrelli (4) 13. Daniel Bennati (3) 14. Romain Sicard (2) 15. Magnus Cort Nielsen (1)

58km to go: And so to the Pic de Nore, which in profile looks something like this:

We will soon be at the bottom of the first-category Pic de Nore (12.3km, 6.3%), nicknamed "the little Ventoux", a climb which was part of the Criterium International between 1995 and 1998. #TDF2018 pic.twitter.com/tVOLLksIss — Quick-Step Cycling (@quickstepteam) July 22, 2018

60km to go: Bernard is first to the line in Mazamet, with Grellier just behind.

61km to go: The intermediate sprint to Mazamet is just 1km away, with the front two, as they are now, 50sec ahead of the rest of the breakaway, and the peloton another 10 minutes back.

68km to go: Julien Bernard has almost caught up with Grellier. The rest of the breakaway is about 25sec behind.

69km to go: Grellier is still on his own, with a small lead over the rest of the breakaway. The peloton is increasingly distant, though, almost 10min behind the leader now.

@Simon_Burnton Sky are at the front as it's the safest place to be. — Mac Man (@McAndyMac) July 22, 2018

74km to go: Fabien Grellier, a Direct Energie team-mate of the last person to do so, Lilian Calmejane, has set off alone at the front.

75km to go: The breakaway group has a lead of 9min 20sec over the peloton.

83km to go: As the riders head up another small but inconvenient bump in their path, the Cold de Caunan, Sagan has attempted to split the leading group. It looked on for a while, but he didn’t quite succeed.

86km to go: Maybe Sagan was just peckish, as Brassac also holds the feed zone.

88km to go: “Why do Sky do all the hard work at the front of the peloton?” wonders Jobin on Twitter. “Surely other teams like Dimension Data have an advantage by not doing any turns at the front?” I think the great benefit is that it gives the impression that Sky are totally in control, bending the race to their will.

92km to go: There has not been a lot of action of late, but Peter Sagan has just had the first whiff of sprint points fill his grateful nostrils, and has thus taken the lead of the leading group.

102km to go: And in a couple of minutes the gap disappeared entirely. Calmejane has been caught by the rest of the breakaway pack. At the other end of the group, Daryl Impey is one of three riders that have slipped a little behind the rest.

104km to go: Calmejane, about 45sec ahead of the rest of the breakaway, has a lengthy chat with the Direct Energie team car.

105km to go: Now they head up the Col de la Bassine, which is just a little bonus bump today. From here it’s largely downhill to the day’s sprint at Mazamet. The Col de la Bassine is at 903m above sea level, and Mazamet at 234m. 18.5km of tough climbing after Mazamet they crest the Pic de Nore, at 1,205m.

111km to go: Calmejaine heads into Lacaune les Bains. This is the second most exciting Sunday’s entertainment in Lacaune les Bains this month: they have a festival of charcuterie on next week, which starts with spit-roast hams at 8am and gets better from there.

116km to go: Calmejaine is first over the hill, over a minute ahead of anyone else.Serge Pauwels, Toms Skujins and Arthur Vichot hoover up the remaining points.

Taylor Swift's Eras: How the most successful concert tour ever got started in Arizona

Taylor Swift launched The Eras Tour era with a sold-out two-night stand at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday and Saturday, March 17-18, 2023, the opening salvo of a record-breaking tour that has dominated headlines and, in many ways, the conversation ever since.

The Eras Tour is a phenomenon as big as Swift herself, if such a thing is possible — the highest-grossing tour of all time and the first tour in history to generate more than $1 billion in revenue.

The concert film — "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" — released in theaters worldwide on Oct. 13, 2023, quickly became the highest-grossing concert film in history , a record previously held by Justin Bieber.

Following The Eras Tour launch, Swift immediately shot to No. 1 on Pollstar's Artist Power Index chart , ending 2023 as Time magazine’s perfectly obvious choice for Person of the Year .

"Swift’s accomplishments as an artist — culturally, critically and commercially — are so legion that to recount them seems almost beside the point," Time wrote.

Then, after running down a laundry list of those accomplishments while placing her alongside Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and Madonna as a pop star, Time explained why this year more than any other year.

"As a celebrity — who by dint of being a woman is scrutinized for everything from whom she dates to what she wears — she has long commanded constant attention and knows how to use it," Time wrote.

"But this year, something shifted. To discuss her movements felt like discussing politics or the weather — a language spoken so widely it needed no context. She became the main character of the world."

By that point, USA TODAY had hired its own Taylor Swift reporter and Swift had grabbed another first — first billionaire in history with music as the main source of income .

How the Year of Taylor Swift began in Glendale, Arizona

And to think: The Year of Taylor all began in Glendale, which renamed itself Swift City for the weekend in her honor.

A symbolic rebrand, the Swift City storyline played out on digital billboards along freeways and in Glendale's Westgate Entertainment District, where State Farm Stadium is located, welcoming fans to Swift City.

For what it's worth, we would've gone with Glendale (Taylor's Version) .

Swift had launched the Reputation Tour in that same stadium five years earlier.

She really likes us!

The Eras Tour is 'a journey through all of my musical eras'

In announcing the tour, Swift had promised “a journey through all of my musical eras,” which by any reasonable metric, is a lot of ground to cover — 10 hit albums, four of which have been released since the conclusion of the Reputation Tour in late 2018.

And she made it look easy, enjoying the journey as much as the Swifties who flocked to the show did while revisiting her catalog one era at a time in a marathon set that ran more than three hours, squeezing in 44 songs before the night was through.

Her earliest eras weren’t as prominently featured in the journey as her recent albums. There was only one song, “Tim McGraw,” from her first album, “Taylor Swift,” and one, “Enchanted,” from her third release, “Speak Now.”

The early albums she’d already rerecorded in “Taylor’s Version” editions by the time the tour launched were given more time in the spotlight. There were three songs from her second album “Fearless” and four from her fourth album, “Red.”

Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour: 5 magic moments at State Farm Stadium that Arizonans saw first

The Eras Tour favored the eras since the Reputation Tour

It made sense that Swift would give more stage time to the albums she hadn’t had a chance to tour since being forced to pull the plug on Lover Fest, the tour she had planned in support of 2019’s “Lover,” in response to the pandemic that took everybody off the road in 2020.

Not quite an hour into her performance on Night 1 in Glendale, Swift asked fans, “Is it just me or do we have a lot of things to catch up on?”

Noting that “it’s been a really long time since I’ve been on tour,” she said they’d “added four new members to the family” since that last tour, introducing them by name as “Lover,” “Folklore,” Evermore” and “Midnights,” her latest release, which brought the concert to an end with a seven-song sampler.

It was a breathtaking journey through 17 years’ worth of musical eras with the artist connecting with at every step along the way.

When Taylor dove into a stream and sang 'All Too Well'

The stage show was designed to reach the back rows of the stadium with a breathtaking blend of artful set design — that “Folklore” cabin was cottagecore gold — and film projected on the massive screen behind the stage.

It was a concert packed with highlights, the most theatrical of which came at the end of an understated “Tim McGraw,” which Swift performed alone on a satellite stage, accompanying herself on an upright piano. At the song’s conclusion, she stood up and appeared to dive into a stream to swim beneath the runaway to the main stage.

As entertaining as that was, the full 10-minute version of “All Too Well” from “Red (Taylor’s Version),” the longest song to top the Billboard Hot 100, emerged as the concert’s emotional centerpiece, a heartbreaking triumph that ended in a haunting shower of paper snowflakes.

That opening-night performance also introduced the concept of “ surprise songs ,” two unannounced acoustic songs she planned to slip into the set each night just to keep fans guessing in the Era of the Online Setlist, where a quick Google search can reveal all.

The Era Tour is scheduled to conclude on Dec. 8, 2024, in Vancouver, Canada.

Madonna has announced that she will conclude her blockbuster ‘Celebration’ tour with a free concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Saturday, May 4th at Copacabana Beach.

The show will be free of charge as a thank you to her fans for celebrating more than four decades of her music over the course of the epic global run of the tour. Sponsored by Itaú Apresenta, it will mark Madonna’s first show in Brazil since 2012.

After a three-month delay due to a serious bacterial infection that the singer said placed her in a coma, Madonna’s ‘Celebration’ tour launched in London in October with a record six sold out shows at the O2, moving across Europe before coming to North America late last year.

The Celebration Tour continues tonight with the second of two shows in Dallas before making stops in Houston, Atlanta, Austin and more. The upcoming dates also include three nights in Miami at the Kaseya Center (April 6th, 7th, and 9th) and five nights at Palacio De Los Deportes in Mexico City.

Kamala Harris to tour blood-stained building where 2018 Florida school massacre happened

Associated Press

PARKLAND, Fla. — Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday is expected to tour the blood-stained classroom building where the 2018 Parkland high school massacre happened, accompanied by some victims’ family members who are pushing for stricter gun laws and improved school safety.

Harris’ visit will be the latest by elected officials and law enforcement and education leaders in recent months to the boarded-up, three-story building, which stands on the north side of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The tragic landmark has loomed over the school’s 3,600 students from behind temporary fencing since the Feb. 14, 2018, shooting that left 14 students and three staff members dead and 17 wounded.

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona toured the building in January and several members of Congress, mostly Democrats, have gone through since law enforcement returned custody of the building to the school district last summer.

When Harris goes inside, she will see bullet-pocked walls and floors still covered in dried blood and broken glass. Shoes left behind by fleeing students and wilted Valentine’s Day flowers and balloons are strewn about. Textbooks, laptop computers and papers remain on desks. Only personal items such as backpacks and purses have been removed.

Former student Nikolas Cruz, then 19, fired about 140 shots from his AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle during his six-minute attack. He pleaded guilty in 2021.

“The building is a time capsule,” said Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a Stoneman Douglas graduate who helped organize the visit. Harris, he said, will “learn about the failures of the building, the failures of the response to the shooting by law enforcement, the failures in the training of the teachers, the failures of threat assessments of the shooter and the failure of all the warning signs.”

Some Stoneman Douglas families who participate in the tours, along with President Joe Biden, want the sale of AR-15s and similar guns banned, as they were from 1994 to 2004, but there isn’t sufficient support in Congress. Opponents, which include other victims’ families, argue that such a ban would violate the Second Amendment and do little to stem gun violence.

Linda Beigel Schulman said the tour will show Harris the carnage a mass shooting creates — it no longer will be an abstract concept. Beigel Schulman’s 35-year-old son, geography teacher Scott Beigel, was killed as he ushered students to safety in his classroom. The papers he was grading when the shooting began remain on his desk.

“She understands how important gun violence prevention is for us,” Beigel Schulman said of the vice president. “But when you go into the actual building and see what actually happened, it doesn’t matter that it is six years later, it really does something to you.”

Max Schachter, whose son Alex died in the shooting, uses the tours to persuade officials to enact school safety measures such as making doors and windows bullet-resistant. Alex, 14, died from shots fired through the window of his classroom’s door. Schachter said while there is disagreement over gun laws, school safety brings the sides together. He pointed particularly to a fall visit by Utah officials leading to that state enacting a $100 million plan to harden its schools.

“I couldn’t save Alex, but every time I have officials come through that building, lives are saved,” Schachter said.

During Harris’ visit, the White House says, she will announce a program to provide technical assistance and training to Florida and the other 20 states that have similar “red flag laws.” Florida’s law allows officers, with a judge’s permission, to temporarily seize guns belonging to anyone shown to be a danger to others or themselves. The statute has been used more than 12,000 times since it was enacted six years ago in response to the Parkland shooting. Harris also will call on states without red flag laws to adopt them.

The building where the Parkland massacre happened were preserved as evidence for the 2022 penalty trial of Cruz, who received a life sentence instead of the death penalty, angering the victims’ families. The structure also was saved for the trial of the school’s sheriff’s deputy, Scot Peterson, who was acquitted last year on charges that he retreated instead of confronting Cruz.

Cruz’s jury toured the building, but Peterson’s judge rejected prosecutors’ request to bring his panel to the school. The Broward County school district plans to demolish the building this summer over the objection of some victims’ families who want to show it to more officials.

Even officials who don’t support stronger gun laws learn from the tours, leading to better discussions, Moskowitz said. He believes there is broad support in Congress for increased school safety spending and a federal “red flag” law.

Cruz had a long history of troubling and bizarre behavior, including animal torture. In the weeks before the shooting, he had been reported to local law enforcement and the FBI by people fearing he was planning a mass shooting, but no action was taken. He legally purchased 10 guns in the 17 months between his 18th birthday and the massacre.

Tour de France 2018 route revealed

21 stages include cobbles, dirt roads, two time trials and three big mountain finishes

The route of the 2018 Tour de France has been revealed in Paris, with organiser ASO continuing a blend of tradition and innovation as they look to shake up the racing and seemingly make it harder for Team Sky and Chris Froome to dominate yet again.

The 105th edition of the Tour de France is one of the shortest in recent years with a total distance of 3329km. The 21 days of racing includes a 35km team time trial on stage three, 15 sectors and 21.7km of Paris-Roubaix cobbles on stage 9, a classic finish at L’Alpe d’Huez after three days in the Alps, and then a grand finale of mountain stages in the Pyrenees, before the hilly 31km time trial on the final weekend will decide the winner of the yellow jersey.

Stage 10 – the first mountain stage of the race – includes a section of dirt road on the Plateau des Glières. It is 100km from the finish but comes after a 6km climb at 11 per cent. Stage 17 to the summit of the Col de Portet is only 65km long but half of the stage is uphill. It is the shortest road stage of the 2018 Tour but could be one of the hardest. The sweeping 8.6km haul to the finish at the summit – some 2216 metres above sea level – has been described as a new Tourmalet.

There appears to be fewer opportunities for the sprinters in 2018. Eight stages classified as flat stages, but several of these could be affected by crosswinds and stage 9 includes the cobbles. Extra time bonuses of three, two and one seconds at key points on the road stages up to and including stage 9 could also inspire more aggressive racing. On stage 6 to Mur de Bretagne, the bonus seconds are awarded on the first passage of the steep climb, just 16 km from the finish back at the summit. Under the new UCI rules, the 22 teams will consist of only eight riders.

Race director Christian Prudhomme confirmed ASO’s desire to shake up the racing whenever possible.

“We especially wanted to emphasize stage variety and the routes that may prove decisive, combining legendary climbs with brand new ascensions or ultra-dynamic formats, to provide a vision of modern and inspired cycling,” Prudhomme said.

A race of two parts

The 2018 Tour de France starts in the Vendée region on Saturday July 7, a week later than usual due to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. It ends three weeks later in Paris on Sunday July 29 with the now traditional evening stage and circuits of the Champs-Elysees.

The Etape du Tour sportive ride will be held on July 8, on the route of stage 10 between Annecy and Grand-Bornand, but the women’s event, La Course, was again given little attention by ASO and confirmed as a single day of racing over 118km to Le Grand Bornand on the same day as the men.

The 21 stages are divided into two parts. The first nine stages were described as for the sprinters, rouleurs and baroudeurs, as the race visits the Vendée coast, Brittany and the north of France. The cobbled stage from Arras to Roubaix brings down the curtain of the first part before the transfer to Annecy for the first of two rest days.

Stage 1 from Noirmoutier-en-l’Ile to Fontenay-le-Comte does not include the Passage du Gois but does include 100km along the French coast and twisting lanes before the finish. In 2015 BMC beat Team Sky by a single second to win the team time trial. Any bigger time gaps in the 35km around Cholet in 2018 could seriously affect some riders’ overall chances.

New UCI president David Lappartient will be feted on stage 4 with a finish in his home town of Sarzeau, while Prudhomme described stage 5 to Quimper as a day for the Ardennes Classics riders due the rolling, narrow roads. The stage 6 finish on the Mur de Bretagne will also be spectacular with two climbs of the steep 2km climb in the heart of Brittany. Cadel Evans won here in 2011, while Alexis Vuillermoz used his aggression and climbing skills in 2015. The double climb and the extra time bonuses will only add to the excitement.

The sprinters get their chances in Chartres and Amiens and some may also be up there on the 154km stage 9 to Roubaix, but all eyes will be on how the overall contenders handle the pavé.

Cobbles are nothing new to the Tour de France but riders have never faced such a quantity – 15 sectors and 21.7km on the pave. The stage profile shows that the riders will cover the legendary Mon-en-Pevele, Pont-Thibaut, Templeuve, Cysoing and Camphin-en-Pevele sectors with the finish outside the Roubaix velodrome. A puncture or crash there could end someone chances of overall victory.

The Alps, then the Pyrenees

Stage 10 from Annecy marks the start of the mountains of the 2018 Tour de France, with three important stages in the Alps to Le Grand Bornand, La Rosière-Montvalezan and L’Alpe d’Huez.

The climbing starts straight away on stage 10 with the Montée du Plateau des Glières (6km at 11 per cent) leading up to the two-kilometre section of rough dirt roads across the plateau. The stage will remember the bravery of the French resistance during World War Two. It could see the race explode even with 100km left to race, with the steep Col de Romme and the Col de la Colombiere in the finale.

Stage 11 is short at 108km but is also packed with climbs, while stage 12 has already earned the title of ‘Queen stage’ from Froome because it features close 5,000 metres of total climbing and finishes at L’Alpe d’Huez. There is no new finish above the ski resort or a descent of the Val de Sarenne, but the 175km stage covers the Col de la Madeleine, the spectacular Lacets de Montvernier and the Col de la Croix de Fer before the legendary 21 hairpins up to L’Alpe d’Huez.

The 2018 route avoids the South of France and the Mediterranean coast, crossing to the Pyrenees via a flat stage to Valence, an uphill finish to Mende by way of the new 10 per cent Côte de la Croix Neuve, and a second rest day in Carcassonne.

From the ancient walled town, the riders can see the jagged Pyrenean peaks on the horizon. They face four days of suffering there, with three tough mountain stages divided by a visit to Pau and a chance for the sprinters.

Stage 16 to Bagneres-du-Luchon is 218km long and includes three major climbs in the last 80km. In 2015, Froome attacked alone on the descent of the Col du Portillon, using a tucked pedalling style to distance his rivals and take the yellow jersey.

Stage 17 is one of the shortest road stages of the last 30 years at 65km, but some 38km of the stage are uphill and the finish is atop the Col de Portet (16km at 8.7 per cent). The stage perfectly represents Prudhomme’s desire for shorter stages and as a consequence more intense racing.

Stage 19, after the flat finish in Pau, heads back into the high Pyrenees for 200km of racing. The Col du Tourmalet is a mere warm-up, coming after 108km of racing, with the steps up via the Col des Bordères, the Col du Soulor and the Col d’Aubisque will hurt before the descent to the finish in Laruns. The 2018 Tour de France will be about descending as well as climbing.

The final overall winner will be decided by a 31km time trial on the final Saturday, with the rolling roads between Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle and Espelette in the French Basque Country also worthy of a stage profile.

Technique and bike skills will be as important as power and aerodynamics. The Côte de Pinodieta comes after 28km and climbs for 900 metres at 10.2 per cent. It is no ordinary time trial but will decide the final overall winner and who gets to ride into Paris in the yellow jersey.

“It is a time trial for puncheurs,” Prudhomme said concluding the route presentation. “We all dream of a spicy finish in Espelette, the world capital of chilli peppers.”

Chris Froome could celebrate his fifth victory in 2018 and join the greats of the sport. However this technical, ever-testing course also suits Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb), Richie Porte (BMC) and Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida).

The team time trial and the cobbles will be a handicap for Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale), Thibaut Pinot (FDJ), Simon and Adam Yates (Orica-Scott), and Nairo Quintana (Movistar) but the mountain finishes and steep gradients give them a chance to fight back and stay in the battle for overall victory in Paris.
