Tour de France 2021: stage-by-stage guide

This year’s race begins in France’s cycling heartland before heading to the mountains and a climax in the Pyrenees

Stage one, Saturday 26 June, Brest – Landerneau 197.8km

The Tour opens with a loop through France’s cycling heartland, home to heroes of the past such as the five-times winner Bernard Hinault, and present-day aspirants such as Warren Barguil. A hilly route travels south to Quimper then returns north to finish close to the start, up a steep two-mile climb tailor made for France’s biggest current star, Julian Alaphilippe, who will be under intense pressure to deliver the stage win and yellow jersey. With more brief ascents approaching the finish crashes are inevitable as the field fights for position before the closing hill.

Stage two, Sunday 27 June, Perros-Guirec – Mûr-de-Bretagne 183.5km

More little climbs for a first reshuffle of the overall contenders. Again it’s Alaphilippe’s favoured terrain – another short, steeper ascent to the finish – but the Mur is tackled twice, the first time with 17km to go. Another favourite will be the Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel, cycling’s most exciting talent, who is making his Tour debut. The contest to be at the front for the climb is as daunting as the ascent itself; a crash or puncture will be costly. Earlier, the race visits Hinault’s old stamping ground of Saint-Brieuc, and the Badger would definitely have relished this finish.

Stage three, Monday 28 June, Lorient – Pontivy 182.9km

The first routine stage, with more nods to Brittany’s cycling past and present. The start close to Barguil’s home town of Hennebont will draw plenty of “Wawa” fans, and the route travels down the coast to Carnac of stone row fame, then passes Plumelec and the Cadoudal hill, a celebrated local race venue. A bunch sprint finish looks inevitable; Mark Cavendish returns to the Tour with Deceuninck-QuickStep after Sam Bennett was ruled out through injury, with Australia’s Caleb Ewan a big rival for stage wins and favourite for the green jersey.

Stage four, Tuesday 29 June, Redon – Fougères 150.4km

The race ventures towards Normandy but stops just short of the border at another town with cycling history, home of the late Albert Bouvet, the legendary “Bulldog”, who became a mainstay of the group that organises the Tour. By now the daily pattern will have been set: an early break of a handful of riders from the lesser French teams, scooped up in time for a bunch sprint finish. Along with Ewan, other favourites include the evergreen Peter Sagan, France’s Arnaud Démare, Tim Merlier of Belgium, the Norwegian Alexandr Kristoff and perhaps the Frenchman Nacer Bouhanni.

Stage five, Wednesday 30 June, individual time trial, Changé – Laval 27.2km

A first proper sort-out with a time trial long enough to create gaps but short enough that they shouldn’t be definitive. It’s a classic rolling course, climbing from the start and again towards the finish, an initial chance to assess 2021 winner Tadej Pogacar, runner-up Primoz Roglic, and 2018 winner Geraint Thomas, while short enough to suit Alaphilippe. It also suits specialists such as Belgian Victor Campenaerts and Swiss rider Stefan Küng. This stage is in the Mayenne, home turf of Küng’s FDJ manager Marc Madiot, so he knows what he has to do: win.

Stage six, Thursday 1 July, Tours – Châteauroux 160.6km

It’s 13 years since Cavendish won the first of his 30 Tour de France stage wins here and he will get the chance to add to his tally after he made Deceuninck’s Tour team following the injury to Bennett. The bunch sprint is inevitable, with the same cast as on previous days and by now it should be pretty clear who is on top. After three sprint stages in four days, however, it’s time for something different.

Stage seven, Friday 2 July, Vierzon – Le Creusot 249.1km

The longest stage of the race; stages over 240km were once relatively common but are now a rarity. The first 50km will be hectic, as every rider aiming to win a hilly stage will have this one on his list; the battle to get in the day’s break will be intense. In the final 50km there are two climbs long and hard enough to dislodge the sprinters; if Sagan has not won a stage so far, the chances are he and his Bora team will target this one and aim to bring the race together in the final hour.

Stage eight, Saturday 3 July, Oyonnax – Le Grand-Bornand 150.8km

After a transfer, it’s suddenly mountain time. It’s not the rudest of introductions but the Col de Romme-Col de Colombière diptych will whittle the main group down to 15 at best. The mountains jersey should change hands so there will be riders seeking out the early break to stake their claim on the polkadots. Expect a show of strength over the final climbs from a team looking to control the standings – Ineos most obviously, or Jumbo-Visma – and a stage win for a climber who can sprint such as Rigoberto Urán of Colombia or Tao Geoghegan Hart.

Stage nine, Sunday 4 July, Cluses – Tignes 144.9km

Unusually, this year the Tour bypasses the highest and most iconic Alpine passes, and today’s gloriously scenic Cormet de Roselend is about the best we will see of the massif . The long descents after the Col des Saisies and the Roselend will give weaker climbers a chance to get back to the front group before the final sort-out. The winner will probably come from an early move – the likes of Barguil or Nairo Quintana are obvious candidates – but the draggy Tignes finish climb will suit a rider like Alaphilippe or Thomas rather than a lighter pure climber. Then comes a rest day.

Stage 10, Tuesday 6 July, Albertville – Valence 190.7km

This might be more interesting than your average flat “transition” stage because there’s just enough climbing at key points to suggest that the sprint teams might not have it all their own way. If Sagan is feeling frisky he might try to burn off one or two of the heavier brethren, and if Ewan’s Lotto have lost riders who would normally work to control the stage, or if Deceuninck are marshalling Alaphilippe in the yellow jersey, the chances are a break will succeed with an opportunistic win for a rider like Thomas De Gendt or Søren Kragh Andersen.

Stage 11, Wednesday 7 July, Sorgues – Malaucène 198.9km

Given the reduced quota of climbing in the Alps, today’s unprecedented double ascent of the fearsome Mont Ventoux should be when a definitive picture emerges at the top of the classification. The second ascent of the “Giant of Provence” could do serious damage, particularly if the weather is hot. It’s a day for favourites like Pogacar, Roglic or Thomas to show what they have in the locker, but all eyes will be on Colombian Miguel Ángel López, winner of the Ventoux challenge in early June, posting the fastest time for the climb since 2004.

Stage 12, Thursday 8 July, Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux – Nîmes 159.4km

There are two scenarios for this run through the gorges of the Ardèche and the hills to the west of the Rhône. Either the race will follow the usual pattern of doomed breakaway, late catch, bunch sprint. Or the mistral will blow from somewhere between north-west and east and all hell will break loose late on as the bunch splinters in the wind. The former scenario favours the sprinters, the latter the strongest team in the race: Ineos or Deceuninck, with Sagan as a wild card. A windy day will offer Thomas or Alaphilippe the chance to gain time on the climbers.

Stage 13, Friday 9 July, Nîmes – Carcassonne 219.9km

The second longest stage of the race – and a rare day of over 200km – has a similar look to the previous one, with no major hills and roads that are innocuous enough in clement conditions but can be brutal in a cross wind. By this stage it should be clear who is the best sprinter and if Ewan is heading to achieve his 2021 target of winning stages in all three Grand Tours, also whether Sagan is en route to take a record eighth Tour green jersey or if he’s being threatened by an all-rounder such as Aussie Michael Matthews or Italian Sonny Colbrelli.

Stage 14, Saturday 10 July, Carcassonne – Quillan 183.7km

Only a few stages in this year’s Tour are hilly enough to deter the sprinters and favour the all-rounders as opposed to the pure mountain goats. This is the second, through Cathar country in the rarely visited eastern Pyrenees. Narrow, twisting roads and constant up and downs favour a breakaway, and the battle to be in it will be desperate as even after two weeks the majority of teams will have yet to win a stage. One for a rider like Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet, Bauke Mollema or Simon Yates if they are not involved in the overall battle.

Stage 15, Sunday 11 July, Céret – Andorre-la-Vieille 191.3km

This stage is almost bound to see an early escape contest the finish, because although the late climb of the Port d’Envalira is the highest point on the Tour it’s not steep enough to cause huge damage, so any sparring for the overall standings will come within Andorra on the Col de Beixalis. The overall contenders should finish together unless anyone is having an off day; this is a good one for the stage hunters such as Yates or France’s David Gaudu, but also the best descenders such as Bahrain’s Matej Mohoric and old fox Vincenzo Nibali. There then follows a rest day.

Stage 16, Tuesday 13 July, Pas de la Case – Saint-Gaudens 169km

Five days of climbing in the Pyrenees is almost unprecedented for the Tour, and each is very different: today involves shorter, steep ascents, with the main sort-out likely to come on the Col de la Core before the final shootout on the Portet-d’Aspet. By this point in the race, each day’s breakaway will include many of the same riders, with teams getting increasingly panicked if they haven’t yet won a stage. The overall contenders will want this to be a controlled stage, but these roads are eminently suitable for skirmishing involving the likes of Alaphilippe or Daniel Martin of Ireland.

Stage 17, Wednesday 14 July, Muret – Sant-Lary-Soulan 178.4km

The first of two mountain-top finishes that should decide the race. There’s a lengthy, flattish preamble where a large break should gain several minutes – in recent years these have involved as many as 30 riders – while the final 50kms includes a daunting trio of passes, culminating in the hardest finish of the Tour, the super-steep 10 miles to the Col de Portet. López, Roglic and Pogacar will be the main men here, and the stage win should go to the best climber out of the break – a rider like Gaudu.

Stage 18, Thursday 15 July, Pau – Luz Ardiden 129.7km

Shorter and more straightforward than the previous day; the Col du Tourmalet is arguably the most iconic climb in the Pyrenees and Luz Ardiden one of the classic finishes. There is always room for a surprise attack but on paper, this stage should replicate the verdict of the previous day as it will favour exactly the same kind of rider. Again there should be a massive early escape involving climbers who are out of contention overall, but the brevity of the stage means they are liable to be scooped up late on leaving the stage win for whoever is in the yellow jersey.

Stage 19, Friday 16 July, Mourenx – Libourne 207km

The sprinters will have been attempting to survive for the last few days, with this stage and Sunday’s run in to Paris in their minds. That’s enough incentive for most of them but the outcome of the stage may depend on how many of their teammates have got through the mountains as well. Five successive mountain stages may see off more of the domestiques than usual, and it might see off sprinters who really can’t climb like Kristoff or Ewan. So it’s a day for perhaps a rider like Matthews or Colbrelli, who will deal with the mountains better than most.

Stage 20, Saturday 17 July, individual time trial, Libourne – Saint-Émilion 30.8km

This stage visits the village of Montagne, which will seem like a bad joke to the big-boned types who have grovelled through the Alps and Pyrenees. Since last year’s reversal at La Planche des Belles Filles the Tour has fallen back in love with time trials and this one is long enough to create a surprise or two. In theory the Tour will have gone through more than enough mountains since leaving Brittany to ensure that the strongest climber has ample margin to relax on this stage. But that’s far from certain – and therein lies the great fascination of this race.

Stage 21, Sunday 18 July, Chatou – Paris Champs-Élysées 108.4km

The traditional apotheosis. The Tour organisers have meddled with the sprint format only once since first finishing on the Champs in 1975. However, the other Grand Tours have always experimented with time trials on the last day and perhaps it’s time the biggest race of all tried something different. The club run pace start, the champagne drinking en route and the final dash up Paris’s grandest avenue does have a slightly hackneyed feel. Love it or not, it’s still a fantastic sprint.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tour de France route week summary

Tour de france week one.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tour de France week two

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

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

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

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

Tour de France week three

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tour de France 2023: The stages

Stage one: Bilbao to Bilbao (182km)

The opening stage is very lumpy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Still some hills, but this should be a sprint stage

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

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

Stage four: Dax to Nogaro (181.8km)

A nailed on bunch sprint, surely. Surely!

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

Stage five: Pau to Laruns (162.7km)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bordeaux is always a sprint finish

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stage eight: Libourne to Limoges (200.7km)

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

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

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

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

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

The Puy de Dôme is back, and is vicious

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

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

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

Stage 10: Vulcania to Issoire (162.7km)

Five categorised climbs over this Volcanic stage

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stage 16: Passy to Combloux ITT (22.4km)

A time trial! But not a flat one

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The classic Parisian sprint. Lovely.

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

Giro d'Italia 2024 im News-Ticker verfolgen

An dieser Stelle halten wir Sie im News-Ticker über alle aktuellen Neuigkeiten rund um den Giro d'Italia vom 04. bis 26. Mai 2024 auf dem Laufenden.

+++ 07.05.2024: Heimsieg für Milan - Bauhaus Dritter +++

Phil Bauhaus hat im zweiten Massensprint des 107. Giro d'Italia einen ersten kleinen Erfolg verbucht. Der 29-Jährige fuhr auf der vierten Etappe am Dienstag nach 190 Kilometern in Andora auf Platz drei, muss aber weiter auf seinen ersten Etappensieg bei einer der drei großen Landesrundfahrten warten. Jonathan Milan sorgte nahe der Mittelmeerküste für den ersten italienischen Tagessieg vor dem Australier Kaden Groves.

An der Spitze der Gesamtwertung gab es erwartungsgemäß keine Veränderungen. Top-Favorit Tadej Pogacar verteidigte das Rosa Trikot des Führenden erfolgreich und liegt 46 Sekunden vor dem Vorjahreszweiten Geraint Thomas aus Wales. Eine Sekunde zurück Dritter ist der Kolumbianer Daniel Martinez, Kapitän des deutschen Teams Bora-hansgrohe.

Am Dienstag gab es die erste prominente Aufgabe. Afrikas Radsport-Star Biniam Girmay stürzte auf regennasser Straße zweimal binnen weniger Kilometer und konnte das Rennen nicht fortsetzen. Der Giro bleibt für den früheren Gent-Wevelgem-Sieger mit viel Pech verbunden. Im Mai 2022 hatte Girmay die zehnte Etappe gewonnen und bei der anschließenden Siegerehrung den Korken seiner Champagnerflasche ins Auge bekommen. Daraufhin musste er aufgeben.

Auch am Mittwoch werden die Sprinter den Sieg wohl unter sich ausmachen. Auf den 178 Kilometern zwischen Genua und Lucca sind nur zwei kleine Bergwertungen zu bewältigen. Größere Veränderungen im Gesamtklassement dürfte es erst am Freitag geben, wenn ein 40,6 Kilometer langes Einzelzeitfahren von Foligno nach Perugia auf dem Programm steht.

+++ 07.05.2024: Zwei Stürze: Biniam Girmay gibt beim Giro auf +++

Afrikas Radsport-Star Biniam Girmay hat den 107. Giro d'Italia auf der vierten Etappe aufgegeben. Der Eritreer stürzte am Dienstag auf regennasser Straße gleich zweimal binnen weniger Kilometer und stieg in das Fahrzeug seines Teams Intermarché-Wanty. Auf dem 190 Kilometer langen Teilstück von Acqui Terme nach Andora hatte Girmay zu den Anwärtern auf einen Tagessieg gezählt.

Der Giro bleibt für den früheren Gent-Wevelgem-Sieger mit viel Pech verbunden. Im Mai 2022 hatte Girmay die zehnte Etappe gewonnen und bei der anschließenden Siegerehrung den Korken seiner Champagnerflasche ins Auge bekommen. Daraufhin konnte der 24-Jährige das Rennen am nächsten Tag nicht mehr fortsetzen. 2023 hatte Girmay den Giro ausgelassen, wollte in diesem Jahr wieder mindestens einen Tageserfolg feiern.

+++ 06.05.2024: Belgier Merlier gewinnt dritte Giro-Etappe +++

Der deutsche Radprofi Phil Bauhaus muss weiter auf seinen ersten Tagessieg bei einem Grand-Tour-Rennen warten. Der Bocholter Sprinter konnte am Montag die erste Chance für die schnellen Männer beim 107. Giro d'Italia nicht für sich nutzen. Der Belgier Tim Merlier siegte nach 166 Kilometern von Novara nach Fossano im Massensprint hauchdünn vor dem Italiener Jonathan Milan und Biniam Girmay aus Eritrea auf der größtenteils flachen dritten Etappe. Der 29 Jahre alte Bauhaus, der nicht in die Top Ten fuhr, hatte einen Etappensieg bei der Tour de France im vergangenen Jahr mehrmals knapp verpasst.

Nach seinem Sieg am Vortag trug Giro-Debütant Tadej Pogacar zum ersten Mal das Rosa Trikot des Gesamtführenden bei einer Etappe auf der dreiwöchigen Italien-Rundfahrt. In der Gesamtwertung thront der Favorit aus Slowenien wie erwartet weiter an der Spitze. Der Top-Fahrer baute seinen komfortablen Vorsprung von 45 Sekunden am Vortag auf den Briten Geraint Thomas durch Bonifikationen noch einmal leicht aus. Pogacar versuchte am Ende der Etappe sogar, mit einem Ausreißversuch den Sprintern ein Schnippchen zu schlagen.

Am Dienstag steht bei den 190 Kilometern zwischen Acqui Terme und Andora zunächst der Aufstieg zum Colle del Melogno auf 1032 Meter Höhe bevor. Allerdings ist der Aufstieg der dritten Kategorie gut machbar. Danach geht es fast nur noch bergab und flach in Richtung Ziellinie. Ein Schlussteil entspricht einer Passage des Klassikers Mailand-Sanremo.

+++ 05.05.2024: Favorit Tadej Pogacar übernimmt Spitze auf zweiter Etappe +++

Trotz eines Sturzes hat Rad-Superstar Tadej Pogacar bei der ersten Bergankunft des 107. Giro d'Italia das begehrte Rosa Trikot des Gesamtführenden übernommen. Nach dem knapp verpassten Tagessieg am Vortag gewann der Slowene am Sonntag die zweite Etappe, obwohl er elf Kilometer vor dem Ziel einen Platten hatte und gestürzt war. Am Ende aber zog Pogacar seinen Konkurrenten unwiderstehlich davon und kam als Erster nach 161 Kilometern auf Höhe der Wallfahrtskirche von Oropa an.

Zweiter wurde der Kolumbianer Daniel Felipe Martinez vom Bora-hansgrohe-Team vor dem Briten Geraint Thomas. Bester Deutscher war Bora-Fahrer Florian Lipowitz als Fünfter.

In der Gesamtwertung liegt Pogacar jetzt mit komfortablem Vorsprung vorn. Das Multitalent plant in diesem Jahr den Sieg beim Giro und im Sommer bei der Tour de France. Experten sehen in ihm den aussichtsreichsten Kandidaten auf den Gesamtsieg in Italien.

+++ 04.05.2024: Schachmann verpasst Tagessieg - Narvaez gewinnt erste Etappe +++

Zum Auftakt des 107. Giro d'Italia hat der deutsche Radprofi Maximilian Schachmann knapp den Tagessieg auf der ersten Etappe verpasst und ist auf Rang zwei gefahren. Der gebürtige Berliner lieferte sich am Samstag ein packendes Duell im Schlusssprint mit Favorit Tadej Pogacar, das er für sich entschied. Allerdings musste er sich dem Ecuadorianer Jhonatan Narvaez geschlagen geben, der sich in Turin den Sieg zum Beginn der dreiwöchigen Rundfahrt durch Italien holte. Pogacarr, der in diesem Jahr das Double aus Giro- und Tour-de-France-Sieg anstrebt, wurde Dritter.

Der 30-jährige Deutsche, der schon bei der Baskenland-Rundfahrt eine starke Form gezeigt hatte, bestätigte eindrucksvoll seine Ambitionen auf einen Etappensieg beim Giro. Schachmann, der durch Verletzungspech zuletzt 2022 an einer Grand Tour teilgenommen hatte, attackierte 16 Kilometer vor dem Ziel und positionierte sich in einer aussichtsreichen Verfolgergruppe. Zügig nach dem Start in Venaria Reale hatten sich sechs Fahrer an die Spitze gesetzt, verschafften sich teils einen Vorsprung von knapp drei Minuten.

Im Fokus stand der stadtnahe Berg Superga. Denn der Startschuss des Giro fiel an einem geschichtsträchtigen Tag für die Stadt Turin. Am 4. Mai 1949 stürzte der Großteil der Mannschaft des damaligen Fußball-Teams AC Turin mit einem Flugzeug ab und verunglückte tödlich. Wegen schlechter Witterungsverhältnisse war die Maschine mit einer Kirche auf dem Superga kollidiert.

Auch die zweite Etappe am Sonntag startet unweit von Turin. In der Nähe des Flughafens brechen die Profis auf zur ersten Bergankunft der Rundfahrt. Beim Aufstieg zur auf 1142 Höhenmetern gelegenen Wallfahrtskirche von Oropa steht ein knackiger Schlussanstieg der Kategorie eins bevor. Hier dürfte Superstar Pogacar seine Muskeln spielen lassen.

+++ 04.05.2024: Geschke will sich mit Etappensieg vom Giro verabschieden +++

Simon Geschke würde sich in seiner letzten Saison als Radprofi gerne mit einem Tagessieg beim Giro d'Italia verabschieden. "Die Chance auf einen Etappensieg habe ich bestimmt", sagte der Radprofi der Deutschen Presse-Agentur vor dem Beginn der 107. Auflage des Rennens am Samstag. "Wie realistisch ein Etappensieg für mich ist, wird sich zeigen. Ich fühle mich gut, bin bei 100 Prozent. Vom Team habe ich die Freiheit bekommen, mich in Ruhe auf den Giro vorzubereiten."

Seine französische Cofidis-Mannschaft geht ohne klaren Kapitän in die dreiwöchige Italien-Rundfahrt, die am 26. Mai in Rom endet. "Jeder von uns darf mit Freiheiten rechnen. Wir werden viel auf die Ausreißergruppen setzen. Der Giro ist immer gut dafür geeignet, dass aussichtsreiche Fluchtgruppen entstehen", sagte Geschke, der «große Lust» auf den Giro äußerte. 2014 scheiterte er als Zweiter knapp an einem Giro-Tagessieg auf der elften Etappe.

Der gebürtige Berliner wird nur noch in diesem Jahr als Profi aktiv sein. "Wenn ich gut aus dem Rennen herauskomme, würde ich gerne die Tour de France fahren. Aber das entscheidet das Team." Daneben wünscht er sich, bei der Rad-WM in Zürich im September mitfahren zu dürfen.

+++ 03.05.2024: Radsport-Experte Voigt über Pogacar: "Der haushohe Favorit" +++

Der frühere Radprofi und TV-Experte Jens Voigt hält Tadej Pogacar für den unumstrittenen Anwärter auf den Sieg beim am Wochenende beginnenden 107. Giro d'Italia.

・"Wenn er bei der Ernährung keinen Fehler macht, wenn er nicht vom Rad fällt oder einen riesigen taktischen Fehler macht, kann ich nicht sehen, dass jemand im Giro-Feld ihn im direkten Duell gefährden könnte", sagte der TV-Experte bei Eurosport. Der Slowene sei "der haushohe Favorit".

Nach Voigts Einschätzung werde Pogacar die frühe Bergankunft nach Santuario di Oropa auf der zweiten Etappe nutzen, um "direkt Nägel mit Köpfen" zu machen. Nach dem Einzelzeitfahren auf der siebten und der zweiten Bergankunft auf der achten Etappe werde man ihn "zum letzten Mal im vollen Angriffsmodus sehen".

・"Danach dürfte er mit rund zwei Minuten Vorsprung führen. Ab dann nimmt er den Fuß vom Gas, verwaltet mit seiner Mannschaft die Situation und spart Kräfte während der zweiten Giro-Hälfte Richtung Tour de France", vermutet Voigt.

+++ 02.05.2024: "Nie versprochen": Bora überrascht nach Frust von Buchmann +++

Nach der Nicht-Nominierung für den Giro d'Italia hat Radprofi Emanuel Buchmann mit seinem frustrierten Internet-Posting beim deutschen Top-Team Bora-hansgrohe Verwunderung ausgelöst. "Natürlich waren wir überrascht", sagte der sportliche Leiter Enrico Gasparotto. "Wir haben das als Team eigentlich nicht erwartet, denn aus meiner Sicht haben wir "Emu" nie versprochen, beim Giro 2024 ein Co-Leader für Bora zu sein."

Nach seiner Teilnahme beim Eintagesrennen in und um Frankfurt legte Buchmann nach. "Mir wurde abgesagt, weil meine Form zwar für die besten zehn, nicht aber fürs Podium reichen würde", wurde er vom Portal "radsport-news" zitiert. Laut dem Profi sei das "eine komische Begründung". "Ich verstehe die Entscheidung nicht, aber jetzt kann man nichts mehr dran ändern."

+++ 29.04.2024: Kein Giro-Start! Buchmann sauer auf eigenes Team +++

Radprofi Emanuel Buchmann hat mit Verärgerung auf seine Nicht-Nominierung für den anstehenden Giro d'Italia durch sein deutsches Team Bora-hansgrohe reagiert.

・"Ich kann meine Enttäuschung und Frustration nicht beschreiben, dieses Jahr nicht für den Giro d'Italia nominiert zu sein", schrieb der 31-Jährige bei Instagram.

・All seine Planungen seien auf die Italien-Rundfahrt vom 4. bis 26. Mai ausgerichtet gewesen, und von Bora-hansgrohe habe er sogar die Co-Kapitänsrolle versprochen bekommen, ergänzte der Vierte der Tour de France von 2019.

・"Das Training verlief gut, die Form ist gut." Doch 16 Tage vor dem Start habe er den Anruf bekommen, "dass ich nicht im Aufgebot sein werde".

Zuvor hatte Bora-hansgrohe in einer offiziellen Mitteilung das Team für den Giro bekannt gegeben. Man gehe mit dem Kolumbianer Daniel Felipe Martínez als Kapitän in die dreiwöchige Rundfahrt, wurde Sportdirektor Enrico Gasparotto zitiert. Außerdem wolle man den niederländischen Sprinter Danny van Poppel mit Helfern unterstützen.

Giro d'Italia, 4. Etappe Jonathan Milan mit dem längsten Sprint-Atem

Stand: 07.05.2024 20:11 Uhr

Der Italiener Jonathan Milan hat sich den Sieg auf der 4. Etappe des Giro d'Italia gesichert. Milan bewies am Dienstag (07.05.2024) Bärenkräfte in einem XXL-Sprint.

Der deutsche Sprinter Phil Bauhaus muss indes weiter auf seinen ersten Etappensieg warten. Am vierten Tag der Italien-Rundfahrt kam der 29 Jahre alte Bocholter im Massenspurt auf Platz drei. Der Sieg ging an Milan, der sich nach 190 km von Acqui Terme nach Andora vor dem Australier Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) durchsetzte.

"Trek hat den Sprint für Milan sehr gut vorbereitet und ich habe mich an das Hinterrad gehängt. Am Ende habe ich leider nicht genug Energie gehabt, war zudem etwas zu nah an der Bande. Ich denke, man kann mit dem dritten Platz zufrieden sein und darauf aufbauen" , sagte Bauhaus.

Pogacar weiter in Rosa

Milan (Lidl-Trek), Olympiasieger auf der Bahn in Tokio, hatte im vergangenen Jahr die Punktewertung beim Giro gewonnen. Der slowenische Top-Favorit Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) verteidigte das Rosa Trikot des Gesamtführenden ohne Probleme.

Die Strecke war eine Art Hommage an den Klassiker Mailand-Sanremo. Wie bei "La Primavera" führte dieses Teilstück aus dem Landesinneren mit einer recht langen Anfahrt zum einzigen Berg, dem Colle del Melogno , einer Herausforderung der dritten Kategorie. Anschließend ging es hinunter zur ligurischen Küste, wo das Feld teilweise dieselben Straßen nutzte, die auch beim Frühjahrsmonument befahren werden.

Nebel und nasse Straßen: Aus für Girmay

Gleich nach dem Start hatte sich eine vierköpfige Ausreißergruppe abgesetzt, die sich bald auf das Duo Stefan de Bod (Südafrika/EF Education–EasyPost) und Francisco Munoz (Spanien/Polti–Kometa) reduzierte. Das Feld zog bei Nebel und feuchter Straße das Tempo erst im Anstieg zum Colle del Melogno an.

Die schwierigen Bedingungen wurden Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty) zum Verhängnis. Der Sprinter aus Eritrea, am Montag Dritter in Fossano, gab nach zwei Stürzen auf.

Ausreißer fünf Kilometer vor dem Ziel gestellt

Fünf Kilometer vor dem Ziel war der Ausreißversuch von de Bod und Munoz beendet, die Teams formierten sich für den kurzen, aber heftigen Anstieg zum Ziel. Der Italiener Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) griff auf der Jagd nach seinem siebten Giro-Etappensieg vergeblich an, 500 Meter vor dem Ziel flogen die Sprinter heran.

Die fünfte Etappe am Mittwoch führt entlang der Mittelmeer-Küste in Richtung Süden, über 176 km geht es von Genua nach Lucca. Zu bewältigen ist in der ersten Hälfte eine Bergwertung der dritten Kategorie, gut 20 Kilometer vor dem Ziel noch eine der vierten. Es folgt die Abfahrt in Richtung Lucca. Der Giro endet am 26. Mai traditionell in Rom.
