Tour de France coverage from Cycling Weekly, with up to date race results, rider profiles and news and reports.

The Tour de France 2024 begins on Saturday 29 June 2024 and marks the 111th edition of cycling's flagship race. In the first Grand Départ for Italy, the race starts in Florence and traces a path east across the country, before heading back west towards France and into the Alps. 

The race also tackles the Apennines, Massif Central and Pyrenees mountain ranges, and passes through Italy, San Marino, Monaco and France. This edition breaks from tradition, finishing not in Paris but in Nice, due to the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

The three-week event is the second in the trio of Grand Tours, coming after the Giro d'Italia and before the Vuelta a España .

Tour de France 2024: Overview

Tour de france 2024: the route.

One for the climbers, the 2024 Tour de France route incorporates four summit finishes, spans four mountain ranges, and features the hilliest opening stage in history. One of the most interesting and intriguing routes of recent years, sitting between the predominantly hilly week one and week three sits a flatter week two, and stage nine - with an abundance of white roads; 14 sectors in total. There's plenty for the sprinters as well as the general classification and climbing specialists, although there are going to be some tough mountains to get over to reach the sprint stages, and to finish the three weeks. For the first time in 35 years, a final day time trial means the yellow jersey won't be decided on the penultimate day.

Tour de france 2024: the teams.

There will be 22 teams of eight riders at the 2024 Tour de France. This includes all 18 UCI WorldTour teams, as well as the two best-ranked UCI ProTeams, and two further squads invited by the organiser, ASO. 

Tour de France 2024: General classification riders

The general classification riders set to appear on the start line in Florence on June 29 are as of yet unconfirmed.

Reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard is extremely likely to be there to defend his title, and there should be no challenges from within the team since Primož Roglič's move to Bora-Hansgrohe. However, Roglič will be making his own bid for the win as the new team leader, with the route suiting him well. 

Following the route announcement in October, Tadej Pogačar said that the "end of the journey makes me smile", with the final 2 stages starting and finishing close to his home in Monaco. Pogačar is hoping to take back the top step in 2024 after two years of missing out on yellow to Vingegaard.

Remco Evenepol intends to make his Tour de France debut in 2024. Although he took a win in 2022 at the Vuelta, his performance in other Grand Tour races has been either inconsistent or blighted by illness. If he's to compete against the likes of Vingegaard and Pogačar, he'll have to up his game. It's not yet known who Ineos Grenadiers will hand the reins to, but, coming 5th overall and taking a stage win in his Tour debut in 2023 , Carlos Rogríguez seems a likely choice.

Tour de France 2024: Sprinters

It's going to be a tough year for the sprinters. Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck was one of the star men of last year's Tour de France, taking four stage wins and the green sprinter's jersey at the end of the three weeks. If the Belgian returns in 2024 then he will definitely be looking to defend his jersey.

Mads Pederson of Trek-Segafredo has won stages in all three Grand Tours and is likely to gain victory again in some of the harder sprint stages in 2024.

All eyes will be on Mark Cavendish in the 111th Tour de France after he postponed retirement to target the Tour win record, currently shared with Eddy Merckx, and gain his 35th win. He said, however, that he was "in shock" and that this was the "toughest course" he had ever seen , when it was revealed in October. 

Tour de France 2024: On TV

As you'd expect the Tour de France will be avialable to watch in a lot of places this July.

The race is expected to be live-streamed on GCN +, Discovery+ and Eurosport , as well as ITV4, in the UK and in Europe. Subscription costs are £6.99/month or $8.99/month, and £39.99 or $49.99 for a year.

A Flobikes  annual subscription will cost you $209.99 if you want to watch in Canada, while in the USA  NBC Sports  via Peacock Premium ($4.99 per month) will show the race. Australians can can watch the Tour for free on SBS on Demand.

And, of course, if you want to watch your local stream from anywhere in the world you'll need a VPN from a trusted company like ExpressVPN .

Tour de France: The jerseys

Much like every year in recent memory, the Tour de France jerseys and classifications are yellow for the overall leader, green for the leader in the points standings, polka-dot for the mountain classification, and white for the best young rider.

Along with the jersey prizes, there is an award for the most combative rider of each stage, with the winner wearing a red number on the following day. This is awarded each day, with a 'Super Combativity' award decided by a jury at the end of the race for the most active rider throughout the entire event.

There is also a team classification where the time of the first three riders from each team is put together to create a single time. This is then done in a similar way as the individual general classification.

In addition, there are plenty of bonus seconds up for grabs at the race. There are ten, six and four bonus seconds available at the end of each stage for the first three riders, as well as bonus sprints that are dotted throughout the race on key climbs to try and make the racing more entertaining for spectators.

Of course, there's also prize money up for grabs. For winning the 2023 edition of the race, Jonas Vingegaard collected €535,220 (£463,100), a sum which is customarily shared out among the team's riders and staff.

Tour de France FAQ

How does the tour de france work.

The Tour de France is one of a trio of races that are three weeks long, known as the Grand Tours, alongside the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España. The Tour is the best known and arguably the most prestigious.

It is the second of the three races in the calendar with the Giro taking place in May, the Tour usually in July, and the Vuelta in August and September.

The Tour, like all Grand Tours, takes on varying terrain with flat days for sprinters, hilly days for punchers and mountains for the climbers and GC riders, along with time trials, so that a winner of the race has to be able to perform on all types of road.

The main prize in the race, known as the general classification, is based on time with the overall leader wearing the yellow jersey. The race leader and eventual winner is the rider who has the lowest accumulated time over the 21 days of racing. Riders can win the Tour de France without winning a stage, as Chris Froome did in 2017. Time bonuses of 10, six, and four seconds are given to stage winners though, creating incentive for those general classification riders to chase individual victories and lower their overall time.

In 2020 it took race winner Tadej Pogačar 87 hours 20 minutes and 5 seconds to complete the race with the second-place rider overall 59 seconds slower. That continues all the way down to the last place rider, which was Roger Kluge (Lotto-Soudal) who finished 6 hours 7 minutes and 2 seconds behind.

The white best young rider's jersey is worked out in the same way but only riders under the age of 26 are eligible for the jersey.

The polka-dot mountains jersey and the green points jersey are based on a points system and not time. The only reason time would come into account would be if riders are tied on points, then it would go to who is the best placed in the general classification.

The team classification is based on the general classification times of the first three riders of a team on each stage. The time of those three riders is added up and put onto their team's time, creating a GC list much like in the individual classifications. The leading team gets to wear yellow numbers and helmets on each stage.

The final classification available is the combativity prize. This is decided by a race jury or, in more recent years, Twitter. This takes place just before the end of each stage and often goes to a rider from the breakaway who has put in a daring performance or attempted to liven up the stage by attacking. The winner of the combativity award gets to wear a special red race number on the following day's stage.

There is a final prize added to this with the Super Combativity prize being awarded on the podium in Paris. This is decided in a similar fashion to pick out the most aggressive, entertaining, and daring rider of the whole three weeks. Again, usually going to a rider who has featured regularly in the breakaway.

Stage winners do not wear anything special the day after apart from getting a small yellow jersey to stick on their number on their bike, this can be replaced if they win multiple stages.

Teams used to come to the race with nine riders but the UCI, cycling's governing body, decided that nine riders from each team was too dangerous and dropped it to eight, however more teams now take part.

How long is the Tour de France?

The Tour de France takes place over 23 days with 21 of them being race days. The riders get two days of resting; they usually fall on the second and third Monday of the race.

This year's race is 3,492km long, which is 2,170 miles, around the same distance from Washington DC to Las Vegas, or Helsinki to Lisbon. 

Road stages can range from anything around 100km to something approaching 250km, sometimes more. This year the shortest road stage is stage 20, from Nice to Col de la Couillole, with the longest being 229km on stage three in Italy, from Plaisance to Turin.

Road stages often take around four to five hours with the longer days sometimes nudging over seven hours.

Time trials are always much shorter. Team time trials have long since gone out of fashion in the world of road racing so individual time trials are the main focus these days. 

In 2024, the Tour has two individual time trials for the riders to tackle, the first on stage seven at 25km long from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Gevrey-Chambertin, and the second on the final stage from Monaco to Nice, at 34km long.

When does the Tour de France start?

The 2024 Tour de France starts on June 29 in Florence, Italy, with a road stage. There will be three full stages in Italy, before the fourth heads into France. The race finishes in Nice three weeks later.

The 2024 edition of the race runs from 29 June - 21 July, covering 21 stages.

Tour de France 2023 preview: Full schedule and how to watch live

Another thrilling battle at the 2023 Tour de France is in sight as Tadej Pogacer will try to take back the Tour de France crown that he lost to Jonas Vingegaard last year. Here is all you need to about this year’s race which begins on 1 July in Bilbao, Spain.

The Tour de France 2023 has all the makings of another road cycling thriller.

Will the world’s most prestigious race be the third act in the epic battle between defending champion Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark and 2021 champion Tadej Pogacar ?

Soon we will have all the answers with the 110 th edition of the French Grand Tour starting on Saturday (1 July) in Bilbao, the largest city in the Basque Country, Spain.

Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) is hoping to be crowned champion again, after he won last year’s race as just the second Dane in history ahead of Slovenia’s two-time Tour de France winner, Tadej Pogacar

It is the 110 th edition of the French Grand Tour that will feature Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion Richard Carapaz , silver medallist Wout van Aert and bronze medallist Pogacar.

La Grande Boucle will cover 3,404 km over the 21 stages, with the final stage taking place at the Champs-Élysées in Paris on 23 July. There are eight flat stages, four hilly stages, one time trial and eight mountain stages. Four of these have summit finishes, including the stage to the mythical Puy de Dôme.

176 riders will be on the start line at the Guggenheim Museum, one of Bilbao’s major tourist attractions, with eight riders for each of the 22 teams.

Below you will find everything you need to know about this year’s Tour de France.

Tour de france 2023 general classification riders to watch.

In 2022, we witnessed a breathtaking duel between Vingegaard and Pogacar , and they are coming into this year’s race as the two big favourites.

The 26-year-old Dane has participated in four stage races this season, having won three of them in dominant fashion - O Gran Camiño, Itzulia Basque Country, and most recently the Critérium du Dauphiné.

Pogacar and Vingegaard last faced each other at the Paris-Nice in March, where the 24-year-old Slovenian claimed victory ahead of David Gaudu and Vingegaard .

UAE Tean Emirates captain Pogacar has claimed no less than 14 victories this season including Paris-Nice, Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold Race and La Flèche Wallonne, before he crashed and broke his wrist at the Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

The two-time Il Lombardia winner made his comeback last week, claiming both the Slovenian national time trial and road race championship.

2022 Giro d’Italia winner Jai Hindley is going to be the leader on a strong BORA - Hansgrohe team. At the Critérium du Dauphiné, 27-year-old Hindley finished fourth behind Adam Yates of the UAE Team Emirates and his compatriot Ben O'Connor of AG2R Citroën Team.

With his win at last year’s Giro, the Australian has shown that he has the endurance needed to compete in a three-week Grand Tour.

22-year-old Mattias Skjelmose (Denmark) stunned the world of cycling by winning the Tour de Suisse earlier this month ahead of the likes of Remco Evenepoel and Juan Ayuso .

He continued his impressive run and was crowned Danish road race champion on Sunday (25 June), after a spectacular solo effort in the final kilometres.

The Trek-Segafredo rider has participated in one Grand Tour previously as he rode the Giro d’Italia last year finishing just 40 th . This year’s Tour de France will be a test of his stamina.

And dont count out Enric Mas. The 28-year-old Spaniard has finished second in the general classification at the Vuelta a España three times and is hoping to make the podium at the Tour.

The Movistar rider came in top six overall in three stage races this season.

Other key riders at the Tour de France 2023

Green jersey.

Last year's points competition winner Wout van Aert has already announced that the green jersey will not be a target for him as he aims to win stages and prepare for the UCI Cycling World Championships that takes place just two weeks after the finish in Paris.

That leaves Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck as the favourite to take the crown. The Belgian clinched two stages last season - including the most prestigious sprint finish on the Champs-Élysées - and he has already six race wins this season. His versatile teammate Mathieu van der Poel seems to be in the shape of his life, and if the Paris-Roubaix winner gets the freedom to chase the green jersey, watch out for the Dutchman.

The biggest threat might come from Soudal-Quick Step that always target stage wins with their sprinter. Fabio Jakobsen will be their trusted sprinter, like last year. The Dutchman is supported by a strong sprint cast with the most experienced lead-out man in the peloton, Michael Mørkøv, to set him up. 

Sprinter’s teams like Team Jayco Alula with Dylan Groenewegen and Lotto Dstny with Caleb Ewan will also chase stage wins and are contenders for the green jersey.

Denmark’s Mads Pedersen and Biniam Girmay of Eritrea are not only great sprinters but also good climbers. That ability can secure points for the green jersey classification on the more hilly stages. Pedersen took his first Tour de France stage win in last year’s edition and claimed the green jersey in the Vuelta a España, but like van Aert he has announced his focus is to arrive in top shape at the UCI Cycling World Championships in Glasgow.

Polka dot jersey

In the last three editions of the Tour de France, the winner of the king of the mountains classification has also been the overall winner of the Tour de France. Therefore, Pogacar and Vingegaard are the top contenders this year.

For the French riders it will be a special achievement to be on the podium in Paris wearing the polka dot jersey. Thibaut Pinot , who was king of the mountains classification at the Giro d’Italia in May is keen on challenging the two top guns as is 2019 polka dot jersey winner Romain Bardet .

Tour de France 2023 route and important stages

The 2023 Tour de France begins with a hilly stage containing some 3,400 metres of climbing. Contenders for the overall win will have to be ready from the start on the hills around Bilbao. The stage suits classics specialist like Mathieu van der Poel , Wout van Aert and Julian Alaphilippe who all want to be the first rider to wear the yellow jersey at this year’s Tour de France.

After another hilly stage in the Basque Country to San Sebastian on stage two, the peloton will cross the French border and resume the race with flat stages on day three and four. 

Stage five will take the peloton on the first mountain stage in the Pyrenees which includes Col du Soudet and Col de Marie Blanque. The following day, the riders will tackle the mythical mountain Col du Tourmalet before finishing the stage on the category 1 climb Cauterets-Cambasque. Week one concludes with an eagerly anticipated summit finish to the volcano Puy de Dôme that returns to the Tour after a 35-year absence.

On stage 13 in week two, the teams face a gruelling finish to Col du Grand Colombier in the Jura mountains. The two following days will also test the riders’ climbing skills with stage 15 featuring a summit finish to Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc in the Alps to end week two.

The final week kicks off with stage 16, the only individual time trial in the race. It is just 22 kilometres long but contains a fair amount of climbing, especially in the second part of the route. After the time trial, the queen stage of the Tour de France with more than 5000 metres of climbing is sure to generate plenty of drama. Colo de la Loze, the highest point of the race at 2304m, is the biggest obstacle on this stage being 28 kilometres long, with an average gradient of six percent.

Two flatter stages follow ahead of a short but mountainous penultimate stage in the Vosges on stage 20. It will be the last chance for the general classification contenders to gain time before the celebrations in Paris.

Tour de France Route, Stages and Results 2024

Tour de France 2024 - Four contenders, four different paths to the big showdown

A closer look at Vingegaard, Pogačar, Roglič and Evenepoel's 2024 race schedules

There are four main contenders for the 2024 Tour de France, and Rolf Aldag has been around this game long enough to know that their every move – and, above all, their every head-to-head contest – will be analysed to the nth degree all the way from here to the Grand Départ in Florence on June 29.

After sketching a rough outline of Primož Roglič’s deliberately sparse racing schedule at Bora-Hansgrohe’s media day in Palma de Mallorca on Wednesday, Aldag was keen to downplay the importance of any clashes between his new leader and the other Tour favourites in the early part of the year.  

“We cannot feed the excitement of the fans and the media about ‘Wow, when are we going to see the Big Four clashing together with Primož, Jonas, Remco and Tadej?’” Aldag said. 

“Where we want to clash is at the Tour de France , so it’s not really relevant if we aim for Catalunya or Pais Vasco. What’s relevant is whether the races help us towards Nice and the end of the Tour.”

After Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard presented their schedules in December, Roglič and Remco Evenepoel followed suit at their recent media days. Vinegaard, the defending champion, is the logical favourite for the Tour, of course, and the two-time champion Pogačar, his most obvious challenger, despite his participation in the Giro d’Italia.

Roglič’s reboot at Bora-Hansgrohe after his departure from Jumbo-Visma changes the dynamic of the race, however, and the Slovenian is emphatically in the hunt for overall victory. Evenepoel’s credentials are perhaps less certain, but the Belgian has every right to approach his Tour debut with the highest of ambition given his progress to this point.

The 2024 Tour has four podium favourites, in other words, each in different phases of their careers and each following his own, carefully curated path to the main event.

Each calendar comes with a caveat, of course. Last-minute changes in schedule are increasingly en vogue among the WorldTour’s big hitters – witness Roglič’s surprise late entry at Tirreno-Adriatico last year – but as the new season gets underway, Cyclingnews takes a look at four favourites' publicly stated approaches to the Tour. 

Tadej Pogačar

Pre-Tour schedule:

• Strade Bianche (March 2)
• Milan-San Remo (March 16)
• Volta a Catalunya (March 18-24)
• Liège-Bastogne-Liège (April 21)
• Giro d'Italia (May 4-26)

Pogačar was the first rider to reveal his 2024 plans, and the Slovenian caught most observers off guard by confirming he would make his Giro debut before tackling the Tour. There had been rumours to that extent when a decidedly lighter Giro route was unveiled in October, but the murmuring abated shortly afterwards.

After consecutive second places at the Tour, the consensus was that Pogačar would feel more or less obliged to focus squarely on July. In an Olympic year, the Giro has often struggled to attract the biggest stars, and the proximity of the Paris Games to the end of the Tour seemed to doom RCS Sport’s courtship of Pogačar from the outset.

The normal rules, however, don’t seem to apply to Pogačar, who will attempt to become the first man to achieve the Giro-Tour double since Marco Pantani in 1998, and the first to complete the triple crown of Giro, Tour and Worlds since Stephen Roche in 1987.

Pogačar will make his latest-ever start to a season and sacrifice the cobbled Classics to do so. He will line out at Strade Bianche, Milan-San Remo and the Volta a Catalunya in March before a stint at altitude in April, with Liège-Bastogne-Liège his final outing before the Giro.

At first glance, it was tempting to interpret Pogačar’s decision to ride the Giro as a tacit acknowledgement that Vingegaard was bordering on the unbeatable in July. On closer examination, however, it might yet prove a more reliable way of preparing for the Tour than his approach of the past two years, which saw him race with abandon week in, week out through the Spring. It was exciting and it was successful, but it was also draining. By taking on that intense, staccato schedule, Pogačar ran up a bill that ultimately had to be settled at the Tour.

In 2024, by contrast, Pogačar’s principal focus will be on stage racing, and his training will be tailored very specifically for the mammoth endurance effort of combining the Giro and Tour. 

On paper, a Giro route with about 20% less climbing than in 2023 should help Pogačar in his endeavour, and the mountain stages in the opening week might even see him put the race beyond the reach of his rivals early. 

In practice, the Giro is never quite that simple. Alberto Contador discovered as much in 2015, when Astana attacked him almost every day with an eye to wearing him out for Vincenzo Nibali ahead of the Tour even if they couldn’t win the corsa rosa with Fabio Aru. Visma-Lease A Bike and Bora-Hansgrohe will surely try something similar in May. But if anyone in the current peloton can withstand that kind of onslaught and complete the double, of course, it is Pogačar.

Jonas Vingegaard

• O Gran Camiño (February 22-25)
• Tirreno-Adriatico (March 4-10)
• Itzulia Basque Country (April 1-6)
• Critérium du Dauphiné (June 2-9)

Why change a winning formula?  Jonas Vingegaard ’s schedule is essentially a replica of his 2023 campaign, with the only minor tweak coming in his decision to swap Paris-Nice for Tirreno-Adriatico. By this point in his career, Vingegaard knows exactly what he needs to do – and when – in order to be at his best for the Tour.

He again starts his season in Galicia at O Gran Camiño, and the 2.1 race allows the Dane and his Visma-Lease A Bike team to run through their scales in a decidedly relaxed setting, not unlike Miguel Indurain and Banesto’s jaunt to the low-key Volta ao Alentejo in 1996. 

After Tirreno, Vingegaard will return to familiar terrain at Itzulia Basque Country , which was such a key step towards his emergence as a Grand Tour contender in 2021. A year ago, Vingegaard was utterly dominant in the Basque Country, though the competition should be more intense this time out, with Evenepoel and Roglič both likely participants, marking a rare occasion when more than two of the main contenders will cross paths before the Tour. 

Vingegaard’s final approach to the Tour, meanwhile, sees him return to the Dauphiné for the fourth successive year, having delivered a chilling statement of intent at the race last season.

By now, the 27-year-old knows his routine and clearly understands the rhythms of building towards July. The biggest change for him in 2024 comes not in his preparation, but in his supporting cast, with Wout van Aert opting to ride the Giro rather than the Tour. 

It remains to be seen, too, precisely how Sepp Kuss is deployed in the aftermath of his Vuelta victory last year. Vingegaard is, of course, at the very top of Visma-Lease A Bike’s depth chart, but Kuss surely won’t be asked to sacrifice his own prospects from the outset.

Remco Evenepoel

• Figueira Champions Classic (February 10)
• Volta ao Algarve (February 14-18)
• Paris-Nice (March 3-10)
• Amstel Gold Race (April 14)
• Flèche Wallonne (April 17)

Even amid all the hype, there’s a case to be made that Remco Evenepoel is still somehow underrated. He is held to a higher standard than just about any other 23-year-old rider in the recent history of the sport. 

Even now, Evenepoel still finds people doubting whether he is, in fact, a rider capable of winning Grand Tours at all, despite claiming the overall title at the 2022 Vuelta a España.

“He’ll never be a great stage race rider,” proclaimed Claudio Chiappucci (he of four stage race victories and zero Grand Tour wins) this winter of a man who has already won eleven stage races as a pro, including that Vuelta.

In some ways, Evenepoel’s trajectory puts one in mind of Wayne Rooney. Like the English footballer, Evenepoel arrived at the top level still a teenager yet seemingly already fully formed as an athlete. He has also, like Rooney, had the misfortune to compete at the same time as a pair of juggernauts, with Pogačar and Vingegaard standing, for now at least, as the Messi and Ronaldo of this era of the Tour de France.

Yet Rooney still enjoyed a remarkable career, winning everything available at club level with Manchester United and surpassing Bobby Charlton’s goalscoring record for England to boot. By the same token, Evenepoel’s palmarès – fifty wins before his 24th birthday, including the Vuelta, two world titles and two Liège-Bastogne-Liège victories – is astonishing.

2024 has been billed as the biggest season of Evenepoel’s career to date, but then they all are for Belgium’s most scrutinised talent since Eddy Merckx. Few Tour debutants will ever have been as thoroughly acclimated to the spotlight beforehand as Evenepoel. Whatever about losing to Vingegaard, Roglič and Pogačar on the road, he certainly won’t be defeated by the magnitude of the occasion itself.

Evenepoel starts his season on familiar terrain in Portugal, taking in the Figueira Champions Classic ahead of the Volta ao Algarve. In March, he makes his Paris-Nice debut, which also serves to acquaint him with French roads – in his career to date, the Belgian has raced across the border just twice, at the Chrono des Nations. After a likely rendezvous with Vingegaard and Roglič in the Basque Country, Evenepoel heads on to the Ardennes Classics, where he chases a third straight Liège-Bastogne-Liège triumph.

Those close to Evenepoel have spoken of his preference for clearly defined projects, and it’s perhaps telling that he doesn’t plan to train at altitude in 2024 until after the Ardennes Classics. The really serious business, in other words, starts in early May, when the countdown to the Tour and Olympics gets underway in earnest, with the Dauphiné his last big test before the Grand Départ .

Evenepoel is the biggest unknown among the four principal Tour contenders, not only because he is a debutant, but because his limits are not yet clear. The ruinous jour sans at last year’s Vuelta notwithstanding, the Evenepoel of 2023 often looked better than his remarkable 2022 vintage, and one senses there is still margin for improvement, especially in three-week races.

Logic says Evenepoel is unlikely to improve quickly enough to beat Vingegaard et al at the Tour, of course, but the Belgian is still right to start 2024 with that ambition. Or, as Soudal-QuickStep manager Patrick Lefevere put it to Het Nieuwsblad : “Knowing my character and that of Remco, he wants to win. He’s a winner, a killer. He is going for a stage victory as a starting point, but he wants more.”

Primož Roglič

• Paris-Nice (March 3-10) or Tirreno-Adriatico (March 4-10)
• Itzulia Basque Country (April 1-6) [Probable]

From the way Rolf Aldag laid it out last Wednesday, early-season feats of ‘Roglification’ (TM Daniel Friebe) dominance won’t be a staple of the menu in 2024. During his time at Jumbo-Visma, Primož Roglič’s calling card was his astounding consistency in week-long stage races, thanks to his rare ability to burn off all comers and hoover up bonus seconds on hilltop finishes.

Starting with the 2018 Ituzlia Basque Country, Roglič has won 13 of his last 17 week-long stage races, and that record would likely be even more imposing were it not for heavy crashes while leading both the 2020 Dauphiné and 2021 Paris-Nice. When Jumbo-Visma released Roglič last Autumn, they acknowledged that they were letting a slew of wins walk out the door with him. Yrt for Bora-Hansgrohe, victory in July 2024 is the only one that really counts.

With that in mind, Aldag explained that Roglič’s racing schedule has been designed to bring him steadily to the boil in the summer rather than expecting him to deliver early and often throughout the campaign. “Our goal is the Tour de France and we’ve worked backwards from that,” Aldag said.

After a spell of altitude training, Roglič will begin his season in March, at either Paris-Nice or Tirreno-Adriatico – “They’re both at the same time, so right now, it doesn’t really matter which one he races,” said Aldag. 

He will then return to altitude ahead of an expected, but not yet confirmed, participation at Itzulia Basque Country. Roglič will again be cloistered in thin air in May before using the Critérium du Dauphiné as his final warm-up for the Tour. 

After winning last year’s Giro, Roglič briefly floated the idea of tackling the Tour de Suisse, one of the few races missing from his palmarès. He was keen to add the Tour de Suisse to his palmares in 2024, too, but it was eventually agreed that the Dauphiné was a non-negotiable part of his build-up to July. “It’s not a one-year deal with us,” Aldag explained. “I’d rather he went to Tour de Suisse as a reigning Tour de France champion next year.”

It all means that Roglič will start the 2024 Tour with, at most, 22 days of racing in his legs, fewer than those currently projected for Vingegaard (25), Pogačar (38) and Evenepoel (29). Then again, a delayed start to serious training due to injury and a similarly light racing schedule (Tirreno and Catalunya) served Roglič perfectly well ahead of the 2023 Giro, where he produced his best at the very last on Monte Lussari. Aldag, Roglič and his coach Marc Lamberts, who moved across with him from Jumbo, didn't simply sketch out a path to the 2024 Tour on the back of a napkin. There is a clear rationale behind it. 

“It’s just a steady build-up to the Tour,” Aldag said, highlighting a one-peak strategy for Roglič's summer. “What we don’t aim for is a super-high peak, then recovery and building up again. We’re not super stressed about the low number of races. The last thing we want to do is squeeze Primož for everything we can just because he could win in Mallorca or Valencia or wherever. What we want to do is win the Tour de France.”

Tour de France iCal Calendar

Here’s a downloadable calendar of the Tour de France for your electronic diary or phone with brief details of each stage. There’s also a look at the TV coverage of the race if you’re planning.

The format’s been popular, perhaps there’s a big demand to schedule work and social life around the crucial days? With this in mind, each stage has a rating of one to three stars (ok, asterisks), a subjective take on the stage’s importance to the race, whether drama or likely importance for the overall classification. Many sprint stages get the one star rating and it’s nothing against sprinters but you may not need to watch the whole stage from start to finish to see the day’s sport. Similarly, maybe the Beaujolais day is better than the Grand Colombier stage that follows it for the breakaway action but we’ll see.

If you’re familiar with ical files, here’s the URL for the ics file:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/609991445efcedf830062bbda7b044debd1138c474eaa2a9f5ed85d6f81135e6%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

Save the ics / iCal / iCalendar file and you can import it into your electronic diary. One or two clicks and it’s on your iPhone / Outlook etc. The default settings have alerts switched off but check your device to avoid nocturnal alarms.

Alternatively if you use Google then see calendar below and the +Google Calendar link on the bottom-right. Note this method can work with Android phones when the iCal file might not.

If you want more help on how to make use of this, see the inrng.com/calendar page which has the calendar for all the main men’s and women’s pro races this year and a fuller explanation of how to put a calendar into Outlook, an iPhone, your diary etc.

TV coverage All stages are broadcast live from start to finish but this doesn’t mean you should watch every minute, there will be moments when I like to imagine the only viewers are locals looking to see their house on TV and mummified hospital patients in traction unable to reach the remote. It’s not for nothing that Le Monde publishes a guide du sieste for those looking to drift off to sleep on the sofa.

The organisers have designed a caffeinated course, or at least as active as things can be for three weeks, there are only two stages longer than 200km, the race visits all of France’s five mountain ranges, there are never more than two consecutive sprint stages and so on.

With the shortened stages many have similar timing, the race feels almost booked into a TV schedule between 1.00pm CEST and 5.30pm CEST although the start and finish times do vary a bit, the daily previews here will give you more detail. Some stages will be fascinating to watch in full with a raucous start as riders try to break away and a crucial finish for the stage win and the overall.

It’s still a long, slow event and that’s part of the charm. Some stages won’t be so compelling and complaining it’s boring to watch three riders invitee teams “animate” the stage by riding through-and-off for 150km before an inevitable sprint finish… that’s on you for tuning in, especially if the scenery is endless fields of wheat harvested last week and there’s no wind forecast. Perhaps check in early to see if there’s a lively start and to use the TV coverage like you might with radio, as something on in the background.

France Télévisions will be filming meaning the usual high quality images but little extra on top, they don’t add much production analysis. What’s good is that they also have two motorbikes with reporters, one in front of the peloton to go with the breakaway and one behind to note what’s happening at the back, like dropped riders and mechanicals. This domestic coverage is good but otherwise you’ll find it at home on GCN/Eurosport, NBC, SBS, ITV, J-Sports or wherever you live with your local language commentary team.

There’s also race radio via the Le Tour website (requires registration) which can be interesting to have in the background. If you want actual radio coverage, RMC probably has the most but you’ll also find bulletins on Europe 1, RTL and France Info as well as post-race discussions.

Snapper Rocks returns to World Surf League championship tour in 2025 schedule shake-up

After five years in the surfing wilderness, Queensland's famous break Snapper Rocks is back on the World Surf League (WSL) championship tour.

The event will return to Coolangatta from 2025 after the WSL inked a four-year deal with the City of Gold Coast and Tourism and Events Queensland.

Snapper Rocks was the season opener for the elite surfing tour for two decades until the event was axed in a major shake-up to the schedule during the COVID pandemic.

The WSL took a break from competition during the first year of the pandemic and when it returned in 2021, the Gold Coast lost its hosting rights because of a dispute between the Queensland government and WSL over COVID restrictions.

The Queensland leg of the tour was moved to New South Wales.

For the past three years Snapper Rocks has instead hosted the opening event of the WSL's second-tier competition, the Challenger Series, as part of a revamped format for professional surfing.

The championship tour contest was an important part of the social fabric and surf culture of Coolangatta — a region that has produced more world champions than anywhere in the world.

Widespread impact

Three-time world champ and two-time winner at Snapper Rocks, Mick Fanning, said losing the event had been a heartbreaking blow to the community.

"To not have it here was so sad, not only for us surfers who want people [to] surf our waves, but also for the kids growing up seeing what the benchmark is and what is actually possible at their home break," he said.

Fanning welcomed its return.

"It's an event that's obviously close to my heart," he said.

"There is so much history that has gone on even before I was on tour.

"It's not just for Gold Coast kids, it's for everywhere — far north New South Wales, up the Sunny Coast — people would travel from all over."

Major attraction

Tourism and Events Queensland predicted the event's return to the Gold Coast would attract 14,000 fans and inject $2.9 million into the local economy.

The WSL is yet to reveal how Snapper Rocks will fit in to the 2025 schedule and whether its addition will mean another location is on the chopping block.

The 2024 Australian leg includes stops at Bells Beach in March and Margaret River April.

It is likely the Gold Coast will become the final event before the mid-season cut, or the first event after the cut.

Fanning said the WSL had made the right call.

"You have got to make sure the premier waves, the premier locations are on the world tour because that's where you want to see the best surfing done," he said.

"If that's the last event for the cut then that's incredible.

"It's a lot more predictable than Margaret River.

"You can let your surfing do the talking at Snapper, it's always fairly consistent there are not big changes throughout the day."

Tickets for all dates will be on sale Friday at 10am local time with an exclusive presale for the Cyber Army/Megadeth Digital beginning today, Tuesday, April 23 at 12pm local time Megadeth.com .

Bringing along Mudvayne and All That Remains, the tour begins in Rogers, Arkansas on August 2 and runs throughout the month before wrapping in Nashville, Tennessee on September 28. Performing classic hits from Rust In Peace, Countdown to Extinction and more, the tour also brings Dave Mustaine and bandmates back to North America to perform their latest studio album The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead! Featuring some of Mustaine’s strongest-ever songwriting, the tour offers an equally ambitious live performance that delivers on all fronts.

“Our ‘Crush The World’ tour has been a tremendous experience for the four of us,” shared Dave Mustaine. “We are all playing tight, and that has made it possible for me to really focus on solos and singing, we are playing more songs than ever before, and we are closer to each other, onstage AND off. I’m excited to see Mudvayne, and All That Remains. Join us as we DESTROY ALL ENEMIES.”

The North American jaunt comes on the heels of a highly anticipated and successful stint in Latin America wrapping this month and starting back up in Europe this summer. With stops in Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and México and forthcoming dates in Sweden, Italy, France, Germany and more, the band’s global appeal and lasting impact is more apparent than ever as continued calls for international touring are demanded.

Megadeth, alongside founder and frontman Dave Mustaine, are renowned for their unparalleled energy and mastery on stage. In 2023, the GRAMMY-Award winning band dominated arenas and festivals, reaffirming its status as one of heavy metal’s most formidable live acts. Dubbed “as ferocious and hard-hitting as ever” by AllMusic , Megadeth enjoyed sold-out shows and critical acclaim on the latest run of the Crush The World Tour captivating audiences and showcasing the latest and greatest hits.

Biogents becomes "official protector" of the Tour de France

A pioneer in the development of innovative, scientifically-proven and sustainable mosquito traps, Biogents announces its exclusive partnership as an official supplier to the Tour de France.

Biogents will be providing a comprehensive educational and scientific approach via its exclusive distributors and to local authorities and professionals such as hotels and restaurants.

The brand's products will be deployed at the Fan Parks in the start and finish towns of Florence and Nice.

The Tour de France, a fixture on the calendar in July, also takes place at the heart of the tiger mosquito season. For Biogents, this is precisely the right time of year for a host of awareness-raising and information campaigns based around the traps it develops. With initiatives aimed at the general public and in-store events based on innovative competitions and challenges, the partnership with the Tour de France will help to promote these protection products. As a result, the fan zones in Florence and Nice will be transformed into areas protected from mosquitoes thanks to Biogents solutions.  

Hugo Plan, Director of Biogents: "The partnership with the Tour de France is a fantastic opportunity for the Biogents teams and its exclusive distributors SBM and SPG to be as close as possible to the public, local authorities and professionals to promote the effectiveness of our traps and their positive health impact! What's more, this year's event in Cesenatico, Italy, is close to our hearts, as it is the site of one of the first scientific studies to be carried out using our Biogents traps - and that's a sign!  

Christian Prudhomme, Director of the Tour de France: "We're delighted to welcome a new brand to our partnership with the Tour de France! Biogents solutions will be tested from this year onwards in some of the hotels that will be hosting the riders, to ensure that the environment is as healthy as possible.
