Looking for a free Tour de France live stream for the final day? Plenty of options are available for coverage with English, Spanish, Italian, and French commentary. And if your country doesn't have coverage or is putting it behind a paywall, we can show how to watch the Tour de France for free via a VPN (virtual private network) .

You can find all the international streaming links below. If you're outside those countries, you must use a VPN to mimic their location to watch like a local. We'll show you how in a few simple steps further down this page. Better yet, a VPN will unlock other sporting action, like the events below, and dramatically improve your online privacy across digital devices.

Today's procession race event, stage 21, sets off from Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines for a relatively short 115 km journey to Paris and the famous Champs-Élysées finish line. With the shorter nature of the route, expect a much later start than any other stage of this year's tour as riders will set off at 4:30 p.m. local time and arrive in Paris three hours later. Jonas Vingegaard will be leading the way, unchallenged in the yellow jersey after finishing yesterday's stage, and the competitive part of the Tour de France, with an overall lead of nearly seven and a half minutes.

With its consistent performance, reliable security, and expansive global streaming features, ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there, excelling in every spec and offering many advanced features that makes it exceptional. Better yet, you can save up to 49% and get an extra three months for free today.

How to watch Tour de France in the USA

The best option for US viewers is Peacock, which has shown every live stage of the Tour de France. NBC and USA Network will have coverage on some days, with replays of some events showing much later. The cable TV coverage seems to bit a little hit-and-miss, especially after the first week, so we'd stick with Peacock .

It's not free, but as streaming services go, $4.99 is a reasonable amount per month, and you can always drop it before the month's end, as the Tour concludes in Paris on July 23. Check out the other options on this page if you want a free live stream, including English commentary versions from the UK or Australia. 

Peacock is a streaming service featuring NBCUniversal TV shows, movies, original series, live sports, and news programs. Prices start at just $5.99 a month on one-month deals, with further discounts available on annual plans.

Watch Tour de France live stream for free from anywhere

Tour de France live stream is showing free in multiple countries this year. In most cases, you will have to create a login and sign in to watch the Tour de France online (except for the Italian and Spanish sites), but it's all for free. These channels will also upload coverage to watch on-demand after the race finishes, and there will be also highlight shows. So if you're not free during the race, you can still catch up later in full if you wish.

• Watch at: ITVX (UK) |  France.TV | RAI Sport (Italy) | SBS (Australia) | RTBF (Belgium) | RTVE Play (Spain)

If you're not located in one of those countries with a free Tour de France live stream, you must tune in via a VPN to see these live or on-demand broadcasts. Our preferred option of all the best VPN providers is ExpressVPN , which comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're unsatisfied.

Tour de France stage 20 Live - Wout van Aert sets fastest time as Vingegaard races for yellow

All the action from the final 40.7 kilometre time trial of the Tour de France

The Tour de France: the complete guide How to watch the 2022 Tour de France – live TV and streaming Tour de France 2022 stage 20 preview - Van Aert seeks to continue Jumbo-Visma dominance Tour de France 2022 opening time trial: Lampaert stuns favourites to take yellow jersey

Race Situation

-Stage 20 was a 40.7 kilometre individual time from Lacapelle-Marival to Rocamadour

-First rider off was Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Soudal) at 1305 local time.

-Wout Van Aert  (Jumbo-Visma) claimed the stage win, his third of this year's Tour, with yellow jersey and teammate Jonas Vingegaard in second  and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) taking third.

-Overall there was no change in the top four, with Vingegaard set to claim the overall victory on Sunday ahead of Pogacar and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers). 

Bonjour and welcome to the Cyclingnews live coverage of stage 20 of the 2022 Tour de France.

139 riders are left in the race, and the first down the start ramp in about 20 minutes (at 1305 local time) will be sprinter Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Soudal). Ewan will likely be aiming to save his strength for Sunday, though, and what he hopes would be a repeat win on the Champs-Élysées.

The weather looks sunny and dry for the umpteenth day on the Tour this year and according to the Tour website,   a very gentle 4kmh northwesterly wind is blowing. So close to flat calm.

Here are the results from yesterday's stage 19, won by Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma) and the overall standings

For an insightful preview of stage 20, have a look at Barry Ryan's expert analysis at the link here:   Tour de France 2022 stage 20 preview - Van Aert seeks to continue Jumbo-Visma dominance

Ewan is rolling up to the start ramp, just a minute to go before stage 20 of the Tour de France is underway.

Ewan is away. The course the Australian and the 138 riders left in the race  has no classified climbs, but it isn't pancake flat, either. Rather we're looking at rolling, mainly rural roads with some technical sections.

Stage 20, a fairly lengthy 40.7 kilometre TT,  has three intermediate checkpoints: at Aynac at km 10.5; at Grammat at km 22; and at Couzou at km 32.5.

Temperatures throughout are at somewhere between 22 and 23 degrees celsius, by the way, so nowhere near the oven-like heat that was previously blasting the Tour in much of its second and third weeks.

News of a DNS: according to his team,  for family reasons Nathan van Hooydonck, a key support worker for Jumbo-Visma and Tour de France leader Jonas Vingegaard, will not be taking part in today's time trial. Van Hooydonck was due to start today's TT at 1400 local time.

Current best rider at the first intermediate checkpoint (Aynac km 10.5) is Frederik Frison (Lotto-Soudal), leading with a time of 13:14 over France's Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies)  who's two seconds behind.

And the Tour de France stage 1 time trial winner in Copenhagen, Yves Lampaert (QuickStep-Alpha Vinyl) has just started today's race against the clock. If you're interested in how he managed to do that just over three weeks ago, you can read our full report here: Tour de France: Lampaert stuns favourites to take yellow jersey

Mikkel Berg (UAE Team Emirates) has clocked the best time in checkpoint 1 at km 10.5 in Aynac of 12:37, a full minute faster than Frison. Tadej Pogačar is, incidentally, following Berg from the co-pilot's seat in the following team car, presumably to see how best to tackle the course 'live', a few hours hence.

At km 22 at Grammat, Berg once again clocks the best time, 1:35 ahead of second placed Christopher Juul Jensen (BikeExchange-Jayco)

And here are the start times for the next hour. Worth noting that Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) is off at 1405 and he'll be a serious challenger for the rider currently looking to set the best time, Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates). 39       Mads Pedersen (Den) Trek-Segafredo          14:02:00 40       Andrea Bagioli (Ita) Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team 14:03:30 41       Filippo Ganna (Ita) Ineos Grenadiers 14:05:00 42       Mattia Cattaneo (Ita) Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team 14:06:30 43       Aleksandr Riabushenko (Blr) Astana Qazaqstan Team           14:08:00 44       Sven Erik Bystrøm (Nor) Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux      14:09:30 45       Owain Doull (GBr) EF Education-EasyPost 14:11:00 46       Jasper Philipsen (Bel) Alpecin-Fenix 14:12:30 47       Alexis Gougeard (Fra) B&B Hotels-KTM    14:14:00 48       Jonas Rutsch (Ger) EF Education-EasyPost 14:15:30 49       Benoit Cosnefroy (Fra) AG2R Citroen Team 14:17:00 50       Olivier Le Gac (Fra) Groupama-FDJ 14:18:30 51       Matej Mohoric (Slo) Bahrain Victorious      14:20:00 52       Stefan Bissegger (Swi) EF Education-EasyPost       14:21:30 53       Amaury Capiot (Bel) Arkea-Samsic 14:23:00 54       Marco Haller (Aut) Bora-Hansgrohe 14:24:30 55       Anthony Perez (Fra) Cofidis 14:26:00 56       Hugo Hofstetter (Fra) Arkea-Samsic 14:27:30 57       Jasper Stuyven (Bel) Trek-Segafredo 14:29:00 58       Cyril Barthe (Fra) B&B Hotels-KTM           14:30:30 59       Michael Matthews (Aus) BikeExchange-Jayco        14:32:00 60       Krists Neilands (Lat) Israel-Premier Tech    14:33:30 61       Guy Niv (Isr) Israel-Premier Tech    14:35:00 62       Matis Louvel (Fra) Arkea-Samsic     14:36:30 63       Christophe Laporte (Fra) Jumbo-Visma       14:38:00 64       Jan Tratnik (Slo) Bahrain Victorious 14:39:30 65       Philippe Gilbert (Bel) Lotto Soudal  14:41:00 66       Connor Swift (GBr) Arkea-Samsic   14:42:30 67       Kristian Sbaragli (Ita) Alpecin-Fenix 14:44:00 68       Mathieu Burgaudeau (Fra) TotalEnergies     14:45:30 69       Pierre Rolland (Fra) B&B Hotels-KTM        14:47:00 70       Andreas Kron (Den) Lotto Soudal    14:48:30 71       Stan Dewulf (Bel) AG2R Citroen Team       14:50:00 72       Quinn Simmons (USA) Trek-Segafredo       14:51:30 73       Franck Bonnamour (Fra) B&B Hotels-KTM 14:53:00 74       Martijn Tusveld (Ned) Team DSM   14:54:30 75       Pierre-Luc Périchon (Fra) Cofidis     14:56:00 76       Toms Skujins (Lat) Trek-Segafredo  14:57:30 77       Antoine Duchesne (Can) Groupama-FDJ     14:59:00 78       Silvan Dillier (Swi) Alpecin-Fenix   15:00:30

Four riders have now made it to the finish, and the best time so far is Reinardt Janse Van Rensburg (Lotto-Soudal) with a time of 53:54, a full 63 seconds clear of his teammate Frederik Frison. Frison was 20 seconds up on Van Rensburg at the first checkpoint, by the way, so clearly Van Rensburg turned in a very strong rider in the second part of the course.

Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates) clocks the provisional best time at the finish in Rocamadour, a remarkable time of 50:22. That's 2:31 faster than his closest pursuer, Christophe Juul Jensen (BikeExchange-Jayco), and 3:32 up on Van Rensburg. Big gaps.

Meanwhile Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) has just sliced 14 seconds off Mikkel Bjerg's first intermediate time at kilometre 10.5. But it's worth noting, too, that the second half has already seen some fast starters pay a price later on. The final has a grinding little uphill in the last kilometre that is going to be hard to manage over such a long time trial.

Swiss time trial star Stefan Bisseger (EF Education-Easy Post) is not going to remember this year's TTs in the Tour at all fondly. Having crashed twice in the opening race against the clock in Copenhagen, Bisseger has now just needed a bike change in this one.

At the second checkpoint in Grammat at km 22, Ganna continues to reign supreme in the provisional best times. But he's now 13 seconds faster than fellow Italian Mattia Cattaneo (QuickStep-Alpha Vinyl), with Bjerg 36 seconds down.

Spare a thought for stage 1 winner Yves Lampaert (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) by the way. Victorious in the opening time trial in Copenhagen, Lampaert has completed this one 5:01 down on the current best time set by Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates).

He was playing down his chances prior to today's time trial, but Ganna is a man on a mission today. In the much lumpier final third of the TT, which includes two nasty little drags in quick succession, by the third checkpoint Ganna has nearly doubled  his margin on compatriot  Cattaneo from 13  to 27 seconds.

And Ganna has smashed Bjerg's provisional best time at the finish by a whopping 1:41 seconds. The defending World TT champion has clocked a time of 48:41. 

Meantime we're almost into the third hour of the time trial, and here are the start times from here to 1600 local time. 78       Silvan Dillier (Swi) Alpecin-Fenix   15:00:30 79       Giulio Ciccone (Ita) Trek-Segafredo 15:02:00 80       Pierre Latour (Fra) TotalEnergies     15:03:30 81       Edvald Boasson-Hagen (Nor) TotalEnergies 15:05:00 82       Nils Politt (Ger) Bora-Hansgrohe      15:06:30 83       Fred Wright (GBr) Bahrain Victorious         15:08:00 84       Benjamin Thomas (Fra) Cofidis        15:10:00 85       Nelson Oliveira (Por) Movistar Team           15:12:00 86       Felix Grossschartner (Aut) Bora-Hansgrohe 15:14:00 87       Andrea Pasqualon (Ita) Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux           15:16:00 88       Maxime Bouet (Fra) Arkea-Samsic  15:18:00 89       Jonathan Castroviejo Nicolas (Spa) Ineos Grenadiers           15:20:00 90       Kévin Geniets (Lux) Groupama-FDJ 15:22:00 91       Kobe Goossens (Bel) Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux           15:24:00 92       Maximilian Schachmann (Ger) Bora-Hansgrohe      15:26:00 93       Georg Zimmermann (Ger) Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux      15:28:00 94       Alberto Bettiol (Ita) EF Education-EasyPost 15:30:00 95       Simon Geschke (Ger) Cofidis 15:32:00 96       Lukasz Owsian (Pol) Arkea-Samsic 15:34:00 97       Joe Dombrowski (USA) Astana Qazaqstan Team    15:36:00 98       Ion Izagirre Insausti (Spa) Cofidis    15:38:00 99       Tony Gallopin (Fra) Trek-Segafredo 15:40:00 100     Andrey Zeits (Kaz) Astana Qazaqstan Team 15:42:00 101     Tiesj Benoot (Bel) Jumbo-Visma      15:44:00 102     Michael Storer (Aus) Groupama-FDJ 15:46:00 103     Christopher Hamilton (Aus) Team DSM      15:48:00 104     Stefan Küng (Swi) Groupama-FDJ   15:50:00 105     Dylan van Baarle (Ned) Ineos Grenadiers    15:52:00 106     Michael Woods (Can) Israel-Premier Tech  15:54:00 107     Sebastian Schönberger (Aut) B&B Hotels-KTM      15:56:00 108     Gorka Izagirre Insausti (Spa) Movistar Team           15:58:00 109     Simone Velasco (Ita) Astana Qazaqstan Team         16:00:00

Ganna's compatriot Cattaneo has paid a high price in the very lumpy second half of the time trial and slides to 43 seconds down on the Ineos Grenadiers rider. He's still got second provisional best time, though.

And an interesting piece of data courtesy of our colleagues over at the Tour's official website: at 40.7 kilometres this is the longest time trial in the Tour since the 54 kilometre time trial on stage 20 in 2014. That year (rather like this one), the overall lead was almost completely decided, with Vincenzo Nibali heading towards Italy's first victory since Marco Pantani in 1998. There were some significant changes further down the GC, though, as Jean-Christophe Peraud ousted Thibaut Pinot from the third place, Tejay van Garderen pushed Romain Bardet down to sixth, and Laurens Ten Dam and Bauke Mollema slumped down a spot to ninth and tenth respectively.

This time round, barring major, major upsets the biggest  GC questionmark hangs around Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) and whether he can hang onto fifth place. We'll know the answer a little over a couple of hours from now...

And here's an image of Filippo Ganna mid-way through today's stage

Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious) has just chipped a second off Ganna's best time at the first checkpoint (km 10.5). Wright, let's not forget, was in the thick of the late action on stage 19 in a three-rider late break before being swept up in the finale, but he's clearly got some energy left for today, too.

After a strong start, Wright is fading slightly in the much lumpier middle section. A second faster than Ganna at checkpoint 1, the Bahrain Victorious racer has now gone through checkpoint 2 (km 22), 21 seconds down on the Italian.

Stefan Kung (Groupama-FDJ) starts his time trial. He'll likely be one of Ganna's biggest challengers today for the stage win, together with a certain Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma).

Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), the winner of last year's Tour de France stage 20 time trial, is off at 1616 local time. Last year's time trial was 10 kilometres shorter and notably flatter, but given Van Aert's all-round talents that won't automatically be a problem for the Belgian.

Küng is 5 seconds off Fred Wright's best time at the first checkpoint at km 10.5 and 4 down on Ganna.

Compared to the start of the afternoon and when Caleb Ewan, the first rider off, rolled down the start line more than three hours ago, the temperatures, by the way, have now risen to a very tolerable 27 degrees celsius. Slightly stronger wind at the start, 11kmh tailwind, but nothing dramatic.

And seconds before Wout Van Aert rolls down the start ramp and begins his quest for a third stage win in this year's Tour and the third in succession for Jumbo-Visma, double German road champ Max Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) crosses the finish line with a very decent time of 49:36, less than a minute down on Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers), and fourth in the provisional standings.

At the second intermediate checkpoint at km 22, Küng has lost a little more time on Ganna and is now in third spot, 14 seconds down on Ganna and a second slower than Mattia Cattaneo (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl).

Kung goes through the third checkpoint of stage 20 nearly 50 seconds down on Ganna, his hopes of a victory today all but gone.

Jumbo-Visma promised that Van Aert would go for today's stage, and he has staked a serious claim from the word go, powering through the first checkpoint 14 seconds faster than Ganna.

And a third party has now joined the battle for the stage win. Recently crowned Dutch TT champion Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) is currently racing the course in the same time, give or take a second, as Ganna.

And here's a picture of European Champ Stefan Kung during today's TT

French TV shows the first images of yellow jersey Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) warming up on the rollers for the TV. Meanwhile there's a rider in Jumbo-Visma kit and a green jersey already out on the  TT course who's looking well en route to a top placing, if not the win, for the stage.

And Van Aert goes through the second checkpoint at km 22 a whopping 25 seconds faster than Ganna.

Kung finishes the course 1:13 down on Ganna. Not his day.

Romain Bardet (DSM), eighth on GC, adjusts his helmet prior to taking the start of the day's time trial. With an advantage of over four minutes on Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Qazaqstan) the French climber's main task today will be to stay upright and out of trouble.

Van Aert, meanwhile, thunders on and is about to overtake his two-minute man, Nicholas Schultz (BikeExchange-Jayco). 

Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) continues to forget a very solid performance, even if he has now dropped away from Ganna's times, and is 28 seconds down on the Italian at the third checkpoint (km 32.5)

Van Aert continues to blast his path towards a provisional best time for the stage, 23 seconds ahead of Ganna at checkpoint 3. It's worth remembering though, that Ganna did an excellent final quarter of the TT with its two tough climbs, so the battle may not be quite decided yet.

A serious-looking Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) rolls down the ramps. Currently fifth overall, Quintana has Louis Meintjes (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Materiaux) at 8 seconds behind and Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe) at 35 seconds, meaning the battle for fifth is one of the big outstanding issues this TT will resolve.

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), second overall, rolls down the start ramp. He's the only starter today with two Tour de France TT stage wins in his palmares, one in 2020 (which netted him the entire Tour) and one in 2021 (which netted him a fair chunk of it).

Bauke Mollema crosses the line 40 seconds down and in second place on Filippo Ganna's provisional best time. All 138 riders have now started.

Wout van Aert grinds his way up the final, very draggy, little climb to the finish. Will Filippo Ganna's longstanding provisional best time soon be beaten?

And the answer is a resounding yes. Van Aert crosses the line 41 seconds ahead of Ganna. New best time.

So having clocked the fastest times at all the intermediate checkpoints, Van Aert now leads the provisional stage standings by 42 seconds over Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) and 1:22 over Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo).

With the green jersey home and dry, attention now switches to Jumbo-Visma teammate and yellow jersey Jonas Vingegaard and his defence of the overall lead. Memories of Tadej Pogacar's heist on yellow in 2020 are still fresh in the mind of the Dutch team, but for now the difference between the two on the stage is roughly one second, and Vingegaard has an advantage of 3:26 overall in his favour. 

And things are hotting up for the stage win as well: Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) has taken a 7 second advantage over Pogacar in the opening segment of the time trial and 8 seconds over Wout Van Aert. Meanwhile at the same checkpoint of km 10.5, Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) is only a second further adrift.

Vingegaard, let's not forget, finished third in last year's final TT behind Van Aert, as well as third in the first week TT as well.

All eyes are on the second checkpoint times at km 22, where Van Aert currently defends a 25 lead over Ganna. But with Pogacar, Vingegaard and Thomas all on the rampage out there, that could change very soon.

Thomas goes through checkpoint 2 just six seconds down on Van Aert.

Best time at checkpoint 2 for Vingegaard, 7 seconds faster than Van Aert, 13 seconds on Thomas and 20 on Pogačar. 

It can't be underlined strongly enough, though, that the second half has proved crucial in this time trial so far: that was where Ganna really made the biggest gains and where Van Aert then opened up the throttle the most strongly. A lot could yet happen, in other words.

Thomas shoots past David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), fourth overall. But Thomas is not the only one of the top three overall riding to try to win this time trial.

Thomas flies through the third checkpoint with a disadvantage of just three seconds on Van Aert's provisional best time. The Welshman is closing the gap, but Vingegaard and Pogacar are still to come through the checkpoint.

Pogacar is 20 seconds down on Van Aert at checkpoint 3, shedding another seven seconds on the Belgian compared to checkpoint 2.

At checkpoint 3, Vingegaard is only 1.3 seconds faster than Van Aert, meaning that although the Dane has the fastest time, the gaps are narrowing again. Thomas is also closing the gap, as he's now only five seconds back on Vingegaard. Pogacar, though, has drifted to 22 seconds. With eight kilometres to go, the stage seems to be between Thomas, Van Aert and Vingegaard.

Two very nasty, draggy climbs in quick succession, the second leading to the finish, now will decide the final TT of the 2022 Tour de France.

Vingegaard is incidentally, tearing up the script that a yellow jersey with a cushion of three minutes overall rides defensively on the last time trial.

And Vingegaard has just had a narrow squeak on a downhill, staying upright but fighting to control his bike on a shallow lefthander. 

Thomas crosses the line 31 seconds down on Van Aert. Those last climbs were seemingly critical in the outcome at least in terms of this particular duel for the stgae. 

Pogacar crosses the line five seconds up on Thomas but  27 down on Van Aert. Only one rider can take away the win from Van Aert now.

Vingegaard takes the last few corners carefully, finishing second and Van Aert takes the stage win.

Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) wins stage 20 of the Tour de France, teammate Jonas Vingegaard retains the overall lead with one stage remaining.

Van Aert gave Vingegaard a friendly slap on the shoulder as he pedalled by close to the line, the stage winner simultaneously celebrating both his own victory and Vingegaard's imminent overall win.

And here we have a photo of Vingegaard during the time trial en route to an almost certain first overall win in the Tour. 

Van Aert's win, let's not forget, is his third in the Tour this year, and this is also Jumbo-Visma's third in succession after Jonas Vingegaard's win on Lourdes Hautacam on Thursday and Christophe Laporte at Cahors on Friday. Jumbo-Visma have netted no less than six stage wins so far in the 2022 Tour de France. And who would rule out a seventh on Sunday?

In the overall classification, no changes in the top four, with Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) in the lead, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) at 3:34, Geraint Thomas (Ineos-Grenadiers) at 8:13 and David Gaudu (Groupama-FJD) at 13:56. Beyond that, though, Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe) has moved up to fifth, ousting Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) who drops to sixth. And a little further down, Romain Bardet (DSM) has moved up to seventh, while Louis Meintjes (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Materiaux) drops two spots to eighth. Alexey Lutsenko (Astana-Qazaqstan) and Adam Yates (Ineos Grenadiers) remain in ninth and tenth overall.

Some words from the stage winner, Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma): "I'm emotional, winning this Tour de France with this team is very special, and it's like a dream scenario. Jonas is such a strong guy and specially a good guy, and I want to thank all my teammates, the whole team for this special three weeks."

"I'm supertired after three weeks, and I gave it all today. I want to win races and take this stage. Also that Jonas could secure his yellow. He has such a big heart, he's a special guy." "It was a very hard course, you had to keep something back for the last six kilometres. I measured my strength well and it was special coming up the last climb to this pretty village. So yes, it's again a great day."

And some words from Pogačar, now looking certain to finish second overall in the Tour. "I'm happy it's Paris tomorrow, I'm happy that it's over and it'll be nice to be on the Champs-Élysées. It's been a good three weeks with its ups and downs, we had some bad luck in the team, but I think the battle between me and Jonas was really something special. It's going to be an interesting couple of years ahead for us." "He's stepped up from last year, he's taken control of things from the beginning, he's proved he's a strong rider." Do you want revenge, the TV interviewer asks him? And Pogacar answers, "Of course I'm a little bit more motivated and I'm looking for more challenges." And as for being once again the Tour's Best Young Rider, Pogacar confirms that, "Having the white jersey is a special one, it's the third year in the row for me and I'm very happy." 

And here is a shot of a very contented stage 20 winner Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) on the podium at Rocamadour, celebrating his ninth stage victory in the Tour de France.

An equally content Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) on the podium at Rocamadour as he savours overcoming the last major obstacle prior to claiming his and his team's first Tour de France victory in a little over 24 hours.

And some words, too, from yellow jersey Jonas Vingegaard, particularly focussing on that heart-in-mouth moment when he nearly crashed, confirming too that he eased back a little afterwards: "I was actually feeling like I wasn’t taking big risks but in the corner the surface wasn’t regular and I didn’t take the right angle, so it was a near miss." "After that situation, I was thinking the stage was a bonus. There were only two or three corners left so I took it really easy. But I still went full gas in the finale. It’s a relief to make it to this point and now of course we have to make it to the finish tomorrow."

How to watch the 2022 Tour de France live: your international streaming guide

The 109th edition of the Tour de France is here.

Pull on those racing gloves and pop some popcorn, it's time to watch the Tour de France 2022. The most exciting bike race of the year starts on July 1st in Copenhagen with over 215 cyclists set to compete. 21 stages of the race will take place over 24 days, with the competitors traveling across both flat and mountainous terrain in Denmark and France with a few stops in other countries along the way. 

Tour de France fans in the UK will be able to watch the race live on ITV4, while American viewers will need to log into a streaming service such as Peacock , USA Network (via Sling TV) or YouTube TV to witness all the action as it happens. If none of those options work for you at the moment, a VPN service like ExpressVPN allow you to access virtually any streaming site from anywhere on Earth, thereby bypassing those pesky geo-blocks. 

• Live stream from anywhere: ExpressVPN (try it risk-free)
• Live stream from the USA: Peacock ($4.99/month)
• Live stream from the UK: ITV4 (free for residents)

Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar won the Tour de France in both 2020 and 2021, but can he do so again? If he pulls it off, Pogačar will technically only be the second cyclist in the last 25 years to win the title three years in a row. Pretty impressive stuff for a 23-year-old. Without further ado, let's check out the different ways you can watch the 109th Tour de France from wherever you are.

How to watch the 2022 Tour de France from the USA

Some of the streaming services that offer access to NBC Sports (and the Tour de France) include Peacock's Premium plan, YouTube TV, Sling TV Blue, and fuboTV. Check to see if these services offer any kind of free trial during the race, and consider using a VPN if you're having trouble signing into your account due to location or network restrictions.

Peacock | Starting at $4.99/month

NBC's streaming service Peacock is the official home of the 2022 Tour de France in the United States. Although there is a free plan available, live broadcasts and most sporting events are only available when you sign up for Peacock Premium ($4.99/month) or the Peacock Plus plan ($9.99/month). 

Although the latter plan is advertised as ad-free, expect to see some commercials during special events like the Tour de France. The race is scheduled to start on July 1st at 8am ET / 5am PT. 

How to watch the 2022 Tour de France in the UK

ITV4 and the ITV Hub | Free for UK residents

Cycling fans in the UK are lucky enough to watch all of the excitement live on ITV4 or through the affiliated streaming site ITV Hub, all you need to do is log into your account and you'll be ready to start streaming the race. Stage 1 of the Tour de France will kick off on 1st July at 2:30pm BST . 

How to watch the 2022 Tour de France from anywhere

ExpressVPN | Try it for 30 days with zero risk

As we mentioned above, if you're currently out of the country or simply unable to log into Peacock or ITV Hub due to geo-blocks, the best way to watch the 2022 Tour de France live is going to be a VPN. Simply set your IP address to whatever country you'd like and you're ready to browse the web or stream to your heart's content. 

We rated it as the best VPN that money can buy, so we're a little biased towards ExpressVPN, but really any VPN should do the trick. They're also currently offering a 30-day risk-free trial. Try out the service for a month and if you don't love it, just cancel your subscription and get your money back. 

If you want to go the VPN route but you're a little confused by what it all means, check out our guide on how you can watch Peacock outside of the US with a VPN .

How to Watch the Tour de France

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

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

What Is the Tour de France? 

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

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

When Can I Watch Each Stage of the Tour de France 

If you want to see it all live, you’ll have to set an alarm. Each stage starts early in the morning for those of us in the U.S. Check out the schedule below.

Where can I watch the Tour de France? 

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

Stage 1: NBC and Peacock 

Stage 2: Exclusively on Peacock 

Stages 3-7: USA and Peacock 

Stages 8-21: Exclusively on Peacock 

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

Yes! In addition to full live coverage, Peacock will have full replays available of every stage of the Tour de France. You’ll also be able to stream highlights, recaps, interviews, and much more. Every replay will be available after the conclusion of each stage so you never have to miss a moment. The Tour de France is the most dramatic race on the calendar, so Peacock is making sure you get to see it all. 

Which Cyclists Should I Look Out For? 

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

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

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

How to use a VPN to unblock any restrictions

If you're outside of your preferred broadcaster's boundaries, you can use a VPN to unblock any geo-restrictions and watch a Tour de France live stream as if you were right at home. Here's our step-by-step guide on how to do just that.

• VPN -  standing for virtual private network  - offers security and anonymity as you browse online, using set protocols to encrypt your data and make it unreadable to outsiders.
• As a part of that, you can also  switch your IP address , which identifies your location.
• Most VPNs offer a  list of locations where its servers are based  to join.  Connecting to them switches your IP  to appear as if you're browsing from that country/city. In turn, you can then  access content locked to that country .
• When it comes to finding a VPN, you should make sure you find the  best one that's suitable for your chosen device , with VPN providers offering compatibility for a ton of devices, including  VPN for Mac ,  VPN for Android smartphones , an  iPad VPN , and even a range of fairly nifty  free VPNs .
• Once you've made the decision for the most suitable VPN for your device and your means for using a VPN,  sign-up and install it . 
• To live stream the Tour de France, all you need to do is  select a country showing matches from its list of available servers and connect . You'll then be able to hop over geo-restrictions, with the likes of ITV Hub and Peacock opening its online gates to you.
• We also want to ensure your money is well spent, so we would recommend going for a VPN that offers a risk free trial.  ExpressVPN is one of many providers that has a 30-day money back guarantee .
• Sort yourself out with the best cheap VPN for the Tour de France
• Kit yourself out with Tour de France gear used by pro peloton  
• Feel more like a professional cyclist with 6 things you can own that pro-riders use

After a short but strenuous mountain stage from Saint-Gaudens to Peyragudes, things get serious on this year's final high-altitude challenge.

Stage 18 begins in Lourdes – the site of the famous pilgrimage – and some riders may need help from above to reach the end. After a fairly comfortable start, an intermediate sprint at Laruns is followed almost immediately by the stage's first – and longest – HC climb: the legendary 16.4km Col d'Aubisque, which peaks at a 10 percent gradient.

There's barely any respite before the riders are faced with the Category 1 Col de Spandelles, a new addition to the Tour that should present a real challenge to the climbers, before ending with another irregular ascent to the finish at the ski resort of Hautacam. It's going to be brutal. 

Defending champion Tadej Pogacar managed to get the better of Jonas Vingegaard across yesterday's four categorised climbs, but the Dane still leads the pack by two minutes and 18 seconds. Can the Slovenian eat into it today?

How to watch Giro d'Italia 2024: live stream cycling online

It's up to Geraint Thomas to take the fight to Tadej Pogacar

• Watch FREE streams
• Unblock any stream
• Schedule and start times

This may be Tadej Pogacar's (UAE Team Emirates) first ever crack at the Giro d'Italia, but he's in such menacing form that if he doesn't ride off in the maglia rosa it will be a surprise. It's worth remembering, however, that the Slovenian last won a grand tour three years ago, and if there's a formula for beating him, Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) might just have it. Here's where to watch Giro d'Italia live streams online for free – from anywhere.

Pogacar is prone to the occasional off day, a trait that cost him at each of the past two tours he competed in. Thomas, who's never won La Corsa Rosa in five previous attempts, but came agonizingly close a year ago, when he wore the pink jersey for eight stages but lost it at the death, has a superb team backing him up.

Thymen Arensman and Tobias Foss each have the potential to be stars of tomorrow, so they should prove invaluable to the 37-year-old Welshman, who looks set to retire next year and is looking to make the most of the time he has left.

Both Thomas and Pogacar are planning to race the Tour de France this year too, partly because the 2024 Giro d'Italia route is significantly shorter and less jagged than usual, giving rise to the possibility of a first double since 1998.

Below is our guide to where to watch the 2024 Giro d'Italia – including FREE streams.

How to watch Giro d'Italia for FREE

One of the best things about the Giro d'Italia is that it's completely FREE to watch in many places around the world. For example:

Australia – SBS on Demand

Italy – Rai Sport  

Belgium – Sporza

If you're from any of the countries listed above but you're abroad right now, don't worry about missing out on that free coverage. All you need to do is subscribe to a VPN to watch a free Giro d'Italia live stream and re-connect to your home streaming coverage.

Unblock any stream with a VPN

If you're keen to watch the 2024 Giro d'Italia but you're away from home and the coverage is geo-blocked, then you could always use a VPN to access it (assuming you're not breaching any broadcaster T&Cs, of course). You may be surprised by how simple it is to do.

Use a VPN to watch Giro d'Italia live streams from anywhere.

NordVPN – get the world's best VPN We regularly review all the biggest and best VPN providers and NordVPN is our #1 choice . It unblocked every streaming service in testing and it's very straightforward to use. Speed, security and 24/7 support available if you need – it's got it all. The best value plan is the two-year deal which sets the price at $3.99 per month , and includes an extra 3 months absolutely FREE . There's also an all-important and there's a 30-day no-quibble refund if you decide it's not for you.

- So, try NordVPN 100% risk-free for 30 days

Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three...

1. Download and install a VPN – as we say, our top choice is NordVPN .

2. Connect to the appropriate server location – open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location.

3. Go to the broadcaster's live stream – so if you're from Australia, just head to SBS on Demand and watch the cycling as if you were back at home!

How to watch Giro d'Italia 2024: live stream FREE in Australia

As mentioned above, cycling fans in Australia can watch the 2024 Giro d'Italia for free on SBS Viceland. That means you can also live stream coverage on the free-to-use SBS On Demand platform.

Outside Australia? Don't worry if you're out of the country and want to catch that free live stream – just grab a VPN and you can watch the race as if you were back at home on your laptop, mobile or other TV streaming device. 

How to watch a Giro d'Italia live stream in the UK

Live coverage of the 2024 Giro d'Italia comes courtesy of Eurosport and its streaming arm Discovery+ in the UK. 

A subscription costs £6.99 per month, and lets you tune in on a wide range of devices, as well as the Eurosport TV channels. 

If you're an Aussie away from home, use a VPN to watch the Giro d'Italia free on SBS on Demand from abroad .

Watch Giro d'Italia live stream in the US without cable

The demise of GCN+ means it's time to get familiar with B/R Sports on Max , which has replaced the dedicated cycling streamer.

A subscription to B/R Sports on Max costs $9.99 per month on top of Max. However, for a limited time only, it's available to use for FREE, so long as you already subscribe to Max.

There are three  Max price  points: $9.99 a month with commercials, the $15.99 commercial-free subscription – both offering HD video quality – and the Ultimate Ad-Free plan, which at $19.99 provides 4K streaming, Dolby Atmos audio, and the ability to download up to 100 titles to watch offline.

There’s also the option to save up to 45% when you subscribe to an annual plan . That’s $70 for the ad-supported plan, $105 for the ad-free option, or $140 to go all-in with the Ultimate Ad-Free plan. Either way, when you go annual you essentially bag yourself two months’ worth of free streaming.

How to Watch 2024 Giro d’Italia

With a clear favorite, two time trials, and majestic mountain passes, cycling’s most beautiful Grand Tour promises a spectacle at its finest.

What Happened Last Year

Riders to watch.

Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 Giro d’Italia:

Dates: Saturday, May 4 - Sunday, May 26

How to Watch

If you’re a Max subscriber ($9.99/month), then you have access to the streaming platform’s B/R Sports package, which is the only legal way to stream the Giro d’Italia in the USA. For now, the package is free to all regular Max subscribers, but at some point, it will cost an additional $9.99 each month. That’s not as affordable as GCN+ used to be, but considering everything else you get with the B/R Sports package (such as MLB, NHL, NBA, NCAA Men’s March Madness, U.S. Soccer, and 24 Hours of Le Mans coverage) it’s a pretty good deal.

Max has a user-friendly app for smartphones, streaming devices, game consoles, and smart TVs. There’s also an easy-to-navigate website, which is a helpful option for streaming the race from work. (Don’t worry, we won’t tell your boss.)

You could cancel your monthly subscription at the end of the race, but remember that Max will be offering live streams of many road, mountain, track, and cyclocross races throughout the rest of the year. If that floats your boat, consider getting an annual subscription for $99.99 (or $149.99 for ad-free streaming).

The 107th edition of the Giro d’Italia covers 3,386.7K (2,138 miles) over 21 stages, with two individual time trials, seven stages with uphill finishes, and six to eight stages expected to end with field sprints.

This year’s Grande Partenza takes place in Piemonte, near the French-Italian Alps, with two challenging road stages that will force the Giro’s GC contenders to be at their best right away. Stage 1, a 136K stage from Venaria Reale to Torino, features three categorized climbs–including the Superga and the Colle Maddalena–but it’s a short, punchy, uncategorized ascent just before the finish that could determine the stage winner.

Stage 2 begins in San Francesco al Campo and ends after 150K with this year’s first summit finish–on the Category 1 Santuario di Oropa, the climb on which deceased Italian legend Marco Pantani took one of his most famous stage wins in 1999. By the end of the first weekend, the GC battle will already be in full swing.

The race then begins working its way south, and Stages 3, 4, and 5—which finish in Fossano, Andora, and Lucca, respectively—should be days for the Giro’s sprinters. (Although the finishes of Stages 3 and 4 feature ramps inside the final 10K that could thwart the fast men.) Stage 6 brings the race from the coast into Tuscany (it finishes in Rapolano Terme) and features 12K of the strade bianche (“white gravel roads”) that give March’s Strade Bianche road race its name. If there’s one stage during the first week that has the potential to cause a few surprises, it’s this one.

Stage 7 is the first individual time trial of the Giro, and it’s a tough one: beginning in Foligno, the 37.2K race against the clock starts with over 30K of flat roads. But there’s a nasty sting in the course’s tail: a 6.5K climb to the finish line that starts steep and then ascends more gradually to the line. Riders who don’t pace themselves on the flat part of the course could explode on the final climb. There could be large time gaps here.

Starting in Spoleto, Stage 8 brings the second summit finish of the first week–on the Category 1 Prati di Tivo, a 14K climb in the Umbrian Apennines with an average gradient of 7%. With a field sprint expected in Napoli at the end of Sunday’s Stage 9 (after a 214K stage that starts in Avezzano), Stages 7 and 8 will determine which rider will wear the maglia rosa into the Giro’s first Rest Day.

The second week begins in Pompeii with Stage 10, a 142K stage that features a summit finish on a new climb, the Category 1 Bocca della Selva, a 20.9K climb with a deceiving 4.6% average gradient. The first few kilometers are actually downhill, so the climb is actually harder than its statistics suggest.

We expect Stage 11 (207K) to end with a field sprint in Francavilla al Mare, and Stage 12—with a jagged 190K stage through the Marche region (an area known for its muri or “walls”)—looks like the perfect day for a breakaway filled with puncheurs and riders who perform well in the spring classics. Friday’s Stage 13 is the flattest stage of this year’s race, which is probably a good thing considering the next two stages. This 179K stage from Riccione to Cento will be an active rest day for much of the peloton.

And they’ll need one because the third weekend begins with Stage 14–the Giro’s second individual time trial–a generally flat, 31K course from Castiglione delle Stiviere to Desenzano del Garda. This is a day for the Giro’s time trial specialists; the pure climbers will struggle to stay within shouting distance of their more powerful colleagues.

But they’ll have a chance for revenge on Sunday, when the race heads into the Alps for Stage 15, a 220K monster stage (the longest in this year’s race) with five categorized climbs, including back-to-back 2000m summits (both Category 1 ascents) at the end of the day, with a summit finish at the Mottolino ski resort just above Livigno. This weekend should blow the Giro wide open, leaving just a handful of riders still in contention to win the race overall.

The third week begins the same way the second week ends, with a 200K, high-altitude mountain stage. Stage 16 features the granddaddy of them all: the Stelvio, this year’s “Cima Coppi” as the highest summit in the race. Topping out at over 2700m, the climb comes early in the stage but will nonetheless offer a rude awakening to a peloton that’s coming out of the second Rest Day. After a long ride down into and through a valley, the day ends with the Category 1 Passo Pinei and then a summit finish on the Category 2 Monte Pana, in Santa Cristina in Val Gardena.

At “just” 159K, Stage 17 is much shorter than the previous two mountain stages, but it’s jammed with five categorized climbs, including the Category 2 Passo Sella and the Category 1 Passo Rolle. The day ends with two ascents of the Category 1 Passo Brocon, which the riders climb for a second time on their way to the finish line. This will be an intense stage, and it could pose a challenge for the team defending the pink jersey to control. The riders will be either climbing or descending from start to finish and if someone’s going to stage a third-week ambush, it could come here.

The next two stages offer a break from the mountains. Stage 18 brings a 166K downhill ride from Fiera di Primiero to Padua that should end with a field sprint. Stage 19 looks like the perfect chance for a small group of opportunists–who have likely been saving themselves in the high mountains–to escape and fight for a breakaway stage win in Sappada.

The 154K stage begins in Mortegliano and climbs steadily throughout the day, culminating with three categorized climbs in the second half stage, the last of which the riders summit just 7K from the finish. After so many days of intense climbing–and with one more day in the mountains still to come–the peloton could just sit back and let the break go all the way to the finish.

That sets the stage for Stage 20, the last chance for anyone hoping to steal the 2024 Giro d’Italia from whoever's been leading it. And–as the last two editions have shown us–that’s a realistic possibility. Starting in Alpago, the stage rolls along for about 85K before the first of two ascents of the Monte Grappa, an 18K climb with an average gradient of 8.1%–that’s steep . This isn’t a stage with a summit finish–the race finishes in Bassano del Grappa after a long descent from the top of the Monte Grappa down into the valley below–but even without one, the stage should still provide a dramatic conclusion to the Giro’s GC battle.

The race concludes Sunday in Rome with a 122K road stage featuring several circuits through the Eternal City. The day will begin with clinking glasses of prosecco, and end with one last chance for the sprinters to grab some glory.

For the second year in a row, the 2023 Giro d’Italia was decided on the grand tour’s penultimate day. In 2022, Australia’s Jai Hindley (BORA-hansgrohe) took the pink jersey from Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz (INEOS Grenadiers) on Stage 20. Hindley won a mountain stage at the end of the grand tour’s first week, then hung around near the top of the General Classification before seizing his moment late in the Giro’s final mountain stage and winning the race overall.

In 2023, Slovenia’s Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) followed the same formula, albeit without an early-stage win. After Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step)—who had won two stages and was wearing the pink jersey as the Giro’s overall leader—was forced to abandon the race after testing positive for Covid-19 on the eve of the Giro’s first Rest Day, Great Britain’s Geraint Thomas (INEOS Grenadiers) took the maglia rosa . With the exception of the two days straddling the second Rest Day, Thomas held the jersey for much of the second and third weeks.

But he cracked on Stage 20, an 18.6K uphill time trial from Tarvisio to the summit of the Monte Lussari. Roglič, who entered the day just 26 seconds behind Thomas on GC, won the stage by 40 seconds, taking the pink jersey–and the 2023 Giro–by a slim margin.

Thomas held on to finish second, and Portugal’s João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) finished third. Italy’s Jonathan Milan (Bahrain-Victorious) won the Points Classification, France’s Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) won the King of the Mountains Classification, and Almeida was the Giro’s Best Young Rider.

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates)

With most of the sport’s best grand tour riders (including Roglič) racing the Tour de France this summer, this year’s Giro has a short list of overall contenders, a list that’s headlined by one of the sport’s true superstars: Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates).

The 25-year-old has never raced the Giro, and he takes the starting line this year as the favorite to win and dominate it. Then he’s planning to head to the Tour, where he’s hoping to become the first rider since Italy’s Marco Pantani in 1998 to win the Giro and the Tour in the same season.

Geraint Thomas (INEOS-Grenadiers)

Pogačar’s biggest challenger will likely be Geraint Thomas, who’s coming back to the Giro after last year’s disappointment. The 37-year-old (he’ll turn 38 during the race) will have a strong and experienced team supporting him–and the course suits him–but he’ll have a hard time overcoming Pogačar.

Cian Uijtdebroeks (Visma-Lease a Bike)

We’ll also be keeping an eye on Belgium’s Cian Uijtdebroeks (Visma-Lease a Bike), who made headlines last December when it was announced that he was breaking his contract with BORA-hansgrohe (who had recently signed Roglič away from Jumbo) to join the Dutch superteam.

The winner of the Tour de l‘Avenir in 2022, Uijtdebroeks just turned 21 and is widely considered to be a future grand tour contender. Without Belgium’s Wout van Aert, who’s skipping the Giro due to injuries he sustained in a crash at a race in Belgium a few weeks ago, Uijtdebroeks becomes the focus of the team’s Giro plans. And with a strong squad alongside him, he could finish on the podium and is the easy pick to become the Giro’s Best Young Rider.

Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale)

Other GC contenders include Australia’s Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), a former fourth-place finisher at the Tour de France and Giro stage-winner; Italy’s Damiano Caruso (Bahrain-Victorious), a former Giro podium-finisher; Colombia’s Daniel Martinez (BORA-hansgrohe), a former fifth-place finisher at the Giro; Great Britain’s Hugh Carthy (EF Education-EasyPost), a two-time top-10 finisher; and France’s Romain Bardet (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL), a former Tour de France podium finisher who was seventh at the Giro in 2021 but might be more of stage hunter this year.

Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek)

Other stage hunters include Italy’s Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek), a three-time stage winner who was the Giro’s King of the Mountains in 2019; France’s Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-Quick Step), who’s riding his first Giro; and Canada’s Michael Woods (Israel-PremierTech), who’s hoping to complete a hat-trick of grand tour stage victories with a win in Italy.

Nairo Quintana (Movistar)

One of the most controversial riders in this year’s Giro will be Colombia’s Nairo Quintana (Movistar), winner of the Giro in 2014. But the 34-year-old hasn’t raced since finishing sixth overall in the 2022 Tour de France and then having his results disqualified after testing positive for tramadol, a painkiller that’s banned by the UCI (but not banned by WADA). He’s now back in the WorldTour with the team that made him famous. His return has not been a popular one , though, and it will be interesting to see how he’s received in Italy.

The Giro also offers several stage win opportunities for field sprinters, and that–plus the fact that the Tour de France is very not sprinter-friendly–means there will be lots of them taking the start, including Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek); Belgium’s Tim Merlier (Soudal–Quick Step); Dutch sprinters Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Fabio Jakobsen (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL), and Australia’s Sam Welsford (BORA-Hansgrohe), Caleb Ewan (Jayco AlUla) and Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck); and Eritrea’s Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty).

Last but not least, the Giro will see several North Americans taking the start, with Americans Larry Warbasse (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), Magnus Sheffield (INEOS Grenadiers), and Will Barta (Movistar) joining Woods on the starting line, with more expected to join them as teams finalize their rosters.

Tour de Romandie 2024 stages

The race starts with a very short 2.3km prologue which will be contested by the overall favorites, keen to install a pecking order early on, and the short TT specialists looking for a chance to gain a leaders jersey in a big stage race. 

Stage one follows the next day and it’s a lumpy 165.7km from Château d’Oex to Fribourg which will likely end in a sprint finish, although there are very view big name sprinters on the start sheet.

Stage two is where the GC action will really kick off with two huge mountains and a summit finish at Salvan/Les Marécottes. This 10km final ascent, averaging 7.3%, has slopes maxing out at 14% so will be a proper test for the climbers.

Those same climbers will the next day have to take on the 15.5km continuously undulating time trial around Oron and utilise another skill needed to win a stage race.

Stage four from Saillon to Leysin is 151.7km and takes the riders into higher territory with five classified climbs including the 10km summit finish at the end.

After this the GC battle should be stitched up with just the laps around Vernier to contend with on the final stage which will likely end in a sprint.

Prologue | Tuesday April 23, | Payerne - Payerne. 2.3km

Stage 1 | Wednesday April 24, Château d’Oex - Fribourg. 165.7km

Stage 2 | Thursday April 25, Fribourg - Salvan/Les Marécottes. 171km

Stage 3 | Friday April 26, Oron - Oron. 15.5km

Stage 4 | Saturday April 27, Sailion - Leysin. 151.7km

Stage 5 | Sunday April 28, Vernier - Vernier. 150.8km

Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes,  RIDE BRITAIN . Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running  his 100 Climbs brand  and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.
