Bonjour and welcome to the Cyclingnews live coverage of the 21st and final stage of  the 2023 Tour de France.

After Saturday's stage in the east of France, the riders have travelled to Paris by team bus for today's final stage.

The start of the 115km final stage starts inside the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines velodrome that will host the track events of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The teams are currently signing on and ready to celebrate in Paris.

After a still emotional Thibaut Pinot, KOM winner Giulio Ciccone leads Lidl-Trek on stage. He is covered in polka-dot from head to toe.

We're 20 minutes from the start of stage 21. 

Jonas Vingegaard is on stage with his  Jumbo-Visma teammates.

We will surely soon see him toasting his victory in the early kilometres.

The riders face a 3km neutralised sector. 

We're not expecting attacks from the very start today.

We spoke too soon! 

Victor Campenaerts shows why he won the Super Prix de la Combativité. He surges away for a bit of fun and recognition.

As you may have seen, the Tour de France Femmes began earlier today. 

We have a full stage report and photo gallery, with news and reaction coming soon from Women's Editor Kirsten Frattini and Lukas Knöfler, who are on the race for Cyclingnews.

 Tour de France Femmes: Lotte Kopecky goes solo to win stage 1

The riders are to east of Paris and will now gradually ride towards the centre of Paris.

Riders from different nations have been posing for photographs on the front of the peloton. The speed stays slow.

Of course it will speed up to 60km/h when the riders reach the famous Champs Elysees.

It's time for Alpecin-Deceuninck to take their bow, with Jasper Philipsen in the  middle of the shot  in the green jersey.

The riders hit the Champs Elysees with 56km to race. 

They cover 8 full laps of the 6.8km circuit, riding up the Champs Elysees to the Arc du Triomphe and back down to the Louvre. 

The riders are about to pass Versailles but there is only one king of the Tour de France today.

The riders will see the new finish layout on the Champs Elysees. 

The finish line is now 700 metres from the last corner and the Place de la Concorde.

That could change the way the sprint unfolds and the lead outs in the final kilometres. 

In 2022, Jasper Philipsen won ahead of Dylan Groenewegen and Alexander Kristoff;

All three are in contention this year and we'll soon see if anyone can beat Philipsen in the biggest sprint of the Tour de France. 

Jonas Vingegaard and Jumbo-Visma also posed for photographs and celebrated with a glass of champagne.

The riders climb the Côte du Pavé des Gardes, the only categorised climb of the stage. 

Naturally Ciccone takes it, joking with teammate Mads Pedersen.

Here we go, the riders are along the Seine river and enters the city of Paris. 

They can see the Tour Eiffel now.   

The pace and urgency is rising  now. It's almost time to race.

The roads are dry but the skies are cloudy, there is a risk of rain. 

Jumbo-Visma are on the front now, ready to lead onto the Champs Elysees as per tradition. 

They're wearing a special kit today to celebrate overall victory and victory in the team classification. 

Early Vingegaard confirmed that he will also ride the Vuelta a Espana with Primoz Roglic, as Jumbo-Visma go for a first ever Grand Tour grand slam.

The riders have crossed Pont Neuf and now ride 'through' the Louvre museum in central France.

The riders pass the team buses and through the chicane of Place de la Concorde. 

The barriers are narrower this year.  

The rider face eight lap of the 6.8km circuit.

As the riders climb the Champs Elysees there are the first attacks. 

The speed is high and so the riders swoop around the Arc du Triomphe.

Pascal Eenkhoorn is the first to try a real attack. More try their hand too. 

The riders emerge from the tunnel near the Louvre and the attacks are caught. 

Tadej Pogacar attacks! 

7 laps to go!

Nathan Van Hooydonck of Jumbo sits on Pogacar, just as Jumbo-Visma have done all Tour.

Pogacar reaches the Arc du Triomphe with a 10-second lead.

Pogacar loves to race.

Oops.. Matteo Trentin needs a bike change after losing his saddle.

The sprint teams are having to work hard to chase Pogacar.

He and Van Hooydonck are still clear, the gap is 10 seconds.

More riders are trying to join Pogacar and Van Hooydonck.

Pogacar asks Van Hooydonck to do a turn but he refuses, so Pogacar shakes his head in disappointment.

Behind Alpecin are trying to organise the chase, they fear an organised, numerous attack. 

There now eight riders on the attack. 

Bettiol and Kwiatkowski are in the attack.

The speed is up to 60km/h and so the laps fly by. 

Come on, guys!#TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/u16MLzWwam July 23, 2023

Pogacar leads the attackers over the line again. Her is trying to split the group with Bettiol and Skelmose.

They climb again on the cobbles of the Champs Elysees.

But it's quickly Gruppo Compatto once again.

Several riders are struck by punctures and so face a chase to finish in the peloton.

More attacks!

Simon Clarke and Frederik Frison go now. 

On the downhill of the Champs Elysees, Nelson  Oliviera (Movistar) joins them.

The trio lead by 10 seconds and so Pogacar jumps after them. 

Four laps to race and the sprinters' teams seem to be letting the attackers blow off some steam.

So far Alpecin, Jayco have placed one rider on the front.

They can perhaps close down a three-rider attack easier than a bigger move. 

🔥Back on the attack already! @Nelsoliveira89, @SimoClarke and @FrisonFrederik lead the way on the Champs Élysées 🔥Les attaques fusent à nouveau ! @Nelsoliveira89, @SimoClarke et @FrisonFrederik ouvrent la voie sur les Champs Élysées. #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/D8NCxLRYw4 July 23, 2023

Clarke, Frison and Oliveira lead by 10 seconds but Julian Alaphilippe leads the chase.

Jonas Vingegaard is tucked safely in the peloton to avoid any problems and crashes. 

He's 25km from celebrating overall victory.  

Three laps to race!

The trio lead by 20 seconds. Could they do it?

This is nice to see, Dries Devenyns of Soudal makes an attack. He just turned 40 and is riding his last Tour. 

Dries Devenyns (Deceuninck-QuickStep) gives interviews to the media after taking victory at the 2020 Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race

Now Giulio Ciccone starts to work for Lidl-Trek and their sprinters Mads Pedersen.

12 seconds. The gap is falling.

Jai Hindley has a chain problem and needs a bike change.

The Australian is away but will have to chase to defend his seventh on GC. 

Clarke, Frison and Oliveira still lead by 15 seconds. 

So  Intermarche help with the chase.

Clarke, Frison and Oliveira extend their lead to 20 seconds.

Hindley has dived through the team cars and is back into the peloton.

Two laps to go! 

Clarke, Frison and Oliveira still lead by 20 seconds. 

Stefan Kung also needs a bike change. 

As the riders climb up the Champs Elysees, the peloton is losing in on the attack. 

It's starting to rain in Paris.

The trio are caught by a new attack. 

Even Julian Alaphilippe tries to go across and pass them.

Judges have decided to take the stage times with one lap to go. There will be no time bonuses or points awarded at the finish.

More attacks. 

Alpecin marks the move. 

6.8km to go

Ding, ding, ding. 

One lap to go! 

Omar Fraile launches an attack. 

Campenaerts is there too. 

Israel take over in the peloton.

Sagan moves up near  the front.

Riders are trying to smash open the peloton but it's a huge task.

At the Arc de Triomphe the pelton is all together. 

It's sprint time!

Bettiol goes again! 

They're racing at over 60km/h!

Vingegaard and his teammates have eased up. 

He has won the Tour de France. 

It's all about the sprint win now. 

It's sprint time.

Jayco and Alpecin lead the peloton but Pogacar is in the mix.

Here we go! 

Photo finish! 

Four riders were spread across the road! 

Philipsen could only come late and so he may have lost it. 

It looks like Jordi Meeus of Bora got it!

Meanwhile Jonas Vingegaard crosses the line with his teammates to win the 2023 Tour de France.

Jordi Meeus cannot believe he has won the sprint.

He was well placed and came off Pedersen's wheel in sight of the line. He rode it perfectly, with a bike throw, while Philipsen was forced to come late and from behind.

Meeus waves a hand as he rides to the podium area. 

That's a great way for Bora-Hansgrohe to finish the Tour.

Vingegaard is also ready to be crowned winner. He lifts his bike in the air after kissing his partner and celebrating with his teammates.

The replay shows how Pogacar leads the sprint onto the Champs Elysees. 

Mathieu van der Poel leads Philipsen as Kristoff gets baulked near the barriers. 

Groenewegen went early and hit the front, forcing Philipsen to go along the barriers. 

Pedersen went down the middle but Meeus was on his wheel and came late with a perfect bike throw to the line.

Meeus was overjoyed to win.  

"I knew in the previous sprints that there was more possible than the result I showed so far. Today everything went perfect and I'm super happy to finish it off," he said.

"I felt quite good all day. The beginning was easy obviously but from the moment we went full gas my legs felt incredibly good. Then Marco Haller did a perfect job with positioning and he was also there." 

"I had the wheel of Pedersen and I could come out of the slipstream and catch it on the line," Meeus added, realising a dream had come true.

"For sure - it's my first Tour and it was a super nice experience so far. To take the win today is just an indescribable feeling."

Jonas Vingegaard will soon climb on the podium and be crowned as the 2023 Tour winner. 

"It's a feeling of being proud and happy - we're winning it for the second time now. It's really amazing," he said. 

"Today with all the Danish people here was really amazing. I have to say thanks not only to my team and family but to the whole of Denmark. They support me and I'm really grateful for this.

"It's been a long journey but it also went by so fast. We race every day and one day takes the other. It's been a super hard race and a super good fight between me and Tadej. I enjoyed it all the way."

Jonas Vingegaard seals 2022 Tour de France triumph in Paris – as it happened

Jasper Philipsen sprinted to victory in Paris as Jonas Vingegaard of Jumbo-Visma clinched his triumph in the overall race

  • 24 Jul 2022 Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) wins Tour de France Stage 21!
  • 24 Jul 2022 Preamble

Triumphant: Jumbo-Visma’s Jonas Vingegaard, Wout Van Aert, Tiesj Benoot, Sepp Kuss and Christophe Laporte cross the finish line.

Jeremy Whittle reports from Paris:

C’est la vie, c’est la guerre, c’est le Tour. That is it for another year. Thank you for reading, thanks for emailing and tweeting, and see you soon for more. I will be back tomorrow for stage two of the Tour de France Femmes. We will have a report for stage 21 of the men’s race coming up soon. Au revoir.

Tadej Pogacar, the beaten champion, has a chat with Eurosport and is asked how it felt to ride into Paris in second, rather than first position on GC: “I was still really happy to be here. I was really proud with my other teammates. We were riding strong. Yeah, it was not bad at all, I was enjoying it a lot today.”

On the brewing Vingegaard rivalry: “I think we [the fans] are going to have a really great next couple of years in front of the television ... me, I will for sure enjoy these years on the bike, because I love the challenge.”

Will he celebrate tonight? asks Bernie Eisel for Eurosport. “I guess so. We will see what we have prepared ... For sure we’re going to have a nice day, a nice night. Tomorrow I’m already on stage two of the Tour de Femmes, to support my fiancee. Tomorrow I cheer on, then I need to go home and set up some telecoms stuff. Busy life.”

And there you have it. Tadej Pogacar, the two-times Tour de France champion, has to get home and sort out his broadband connection. Then he can start thinking about next year, maybe watch some Tour highlights on YouTube ...

On the podium.

Jumbo-Visma’s Jonas Vingegaard holds his daughter Frida on the podium.

Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) has a chat, and is asked about his stage 13 win: “It was definitely one of the last options for me in this Tour. I planned to go all in for the first week, but I was a little bit sick before, so to have this stage win is absolutely amazing ...

“Cycling is the new national sport in Denmark. It’s absolutely crazy ... of course with the start in Copenhagen it was really special for all of us. And to see all these people on the road, we didn’t expect that, not that many people. Of course with Jonas in the yellow jersey it makes cycling grow even more, and now we see half the Danish people here [in Paris], so that’s pretty amazing.”

Vingegaard, the champion , speaks while holding his young daughter: “It’s just incredible. I mean, now I’ve finally won the Tour. Now nothing can go wrong anymore and I’m sitting with my daughter, and it’s just incredible.

“It’s the biggest cycling race of the year, and it’s the biggest one you can win, and now I’ve done it, and no one can take this away from me.

“I always had the feeling that at least I could fight for the win. But I think yeah, in the end, when I really started believing was after Hautacam. I mean, I always believed in it, but then I was really thinking: something has to go almost wrong before I don’t win, that was after Hautacam .”

He is asked about seeing all the Danish fans in Paris: “That was really incredible for me. So many Danes here, so many Danes arrived to see me ride in the yellow jersey. I appreciate it so much and I have to say thank you to every Dane who’s here and that has been cheering for me for three weeks now, it means everything to me.”

How will he celebrate his victory? “Tuesday I have to go to Holland ... Wednesday in Copenhagen, Thursday in the town I live in, and Friday I’ll be on the couch for one week.

“Of course I’m super happy about my victory now. Of course now I want to celebrate, relax, but then I also want more [Tour de France victories], yes.”

“Where’s my make-up,” asks south London’s Fred Wright (Bahrain-Victorious) when he appears for a chat on Eurosport.

“I’ve loved it. I loved it last year, but to be that percentage or so stronger, and be able do stuff in the races, it’s been so much fun ... You get so wrapped up in it. It’s only when you look at your phone afterwards that you’re like: ‘Oh yeah, actually, this is the Tour de France’.”

Adam Blythe tells him how brilliant his performances have been. “You’re trying to get me a bit emotional again ... it’s great, I’ve loved every minute of it. Even the mountains: it’s suffering, but it’s beautiful suffering. It’s been great – I’m happy.”

Peter Sagan speaks! He is asked about the final sprint on Eurosport. “Pretty messy ... On the last turn my chain dropped ... I started my sprint but Jakobsen was in the front. His chain dropped out ... I came over, I gained some positions, but in the end it was not enough.”

There you go: Jaksobsen dropped his chain, says Sagan, which explains why he was nowhere in the end.

How was his Tour? “For me it was quite easy. A lot of years I was dealing with media every day, podium, I did it with green jersey ... interview stuff, people around the hotel ... just quite good. The average speed was high, every day full gas.”

And what about his performance? “It could be better, it could be worse, that’s life. No victory but I’m here, I finished. It’s quite special [in Paris].

“Wout van Aert is like some kind of new level. If you see his results in Tour de France , it’s very impressive. Sprint, time trial, climb ... I don’t know why he doesn’t go for yellow jersey ... it looks like easy, he can go [for yellow].”

The outgoing champion, Tadej Pogacar, speaks about his late attack on the final lap in Paris: “It was kind of funny. Thomas and Ganna on the right side, me on the left. Fuck, it was funny, because I said to Pippo [Ganna] two kilometres before, I said to him: “We go for an attack?” And we were sprinting against each other. And i think I was just dead by the Triomphe, on the roundabout, finished.”

Philippe Gilbert, after riding his final Tour stage, speaks to Eurosport: “Happy to be in Paris. It was a tough tour, really difficult, and I’m happy to have made it.”

What made it difficult? Wout van Aert? “Yeah. Pretty much him. No, the speed was crazy, out of control. We went with a plan every day, and it ended up with the opposite. Some days we thought it would be controllable, with a nice [breakaway] group like it used to be, but it would end up with a crazy strong group to chase, and finishing with almost 50 [km/h] average. It was dry every day, so it means fast. A lot of tailwind, so it was really fast, fast.

“It’s nice when you can decide yourself, when you stop. That’s my decision and I’m happy to take it. I enjoyed also today. It was nice, yeah.”

Bradley Wiggins remembers rooming with Gilbert 20 years ago when they rode for Française des Jeux. “I never imagined you’d go on to have the career you had. You’ve won everything there is to win in the sport.”

“The same for me about you,” Gilbert replies. “We achieved our goals, I won the one-day races and you won the stage races.

“My career is not over,” the legendary strong man Gilbert concludes. “I want to rest now, and finish on a good note, I hope to win one more race this year.”

Simon Geschke has a chat with Eurosport: “It was a really fun time in the mountains jersey ... if I’d lost it after two days, I’d have been like: ‘That was fun’. But the longer you keep it, the longer you start believing that you can take it all the way to Paris. I thought I had a realistic chance, actually, but on the last mountain stage I made a few mistakes here and there probably. In the third week the energy levels reached their limits and that was it.”

“Too bad, but that’s part of the sport. The head wanted it more than the legs, but at least I got to wear it to Paris. Kind of a strange feeling, but still nice for the pictures, I guess. It’s a privilege to wear a jersey in the Tour de France . For sure I enjoyed it today also although I was only second in the mountains classification ... it’s sort of a little achievement, as well.”

Simon Geschke (Cofidis) in polka-dots.

Surely you have to question why Groenewegen sprinted so early? It looked like a bit of panic. All he was likely to do was lead out Philipsen, or Ewan, or Sagan, or AN Other. As it happened, Philipsen was in the perfect position to benefit, right on Groenewegen’s wheel. And it was an utterly dominant win by Philipsen in the end. No doubt Mark Cavendish is sitting at home and thinking he could have won that. It was a bad day for both Quick-Step and Jakobsen, who didn’t feature at all.

Today’s stage winner Philipsen speaks: “I cannot believe [it], it’s a childhood dream coming true, this will take a while to realise. I’m just super-proud of the team, that we finished the Tour like this, it’s the cherry on the cake.

“I think it [the final kilometre] went ideal for me. I was in a great position. I think Dylan was forced to launch early and I could really stay in his wheel and do my final sprint when I wanted ... I’m super happy and proud that I could win in this Champs-Elysees, the dream of any sprinter.

“It couldn’t be better. We had some disappointments earlier this Tour, things that went not the way we wanted. But to finish off in style like this, to win stage 15 and then again on 21, on the most beautiful stage for a sprinter, it’s just unbelievable.”

Top 10 on stage 21:

1) Philipsen 2hr 58min 32sec 2) Groenewegen 3) Kristoff 4) Stuyven 5) Sagan 6) Lecroq 7) Van Poppel 8) Ewan 9) Hofstetter 10) Wright

Kristoff (who finished third) sums up the final sprint: “Unfortunately there was a big movement maybe 300m to go, everybody had to stop pedalling a bit, and we lost a bit of momentum, otherwise I think we could have been closer to Jasper ... anyway I’m happy with third place. Caleb was maybe a bit angry with me, but I felt I was fair, I made a straight line. I got the wheel of Groenwegen and Caleb was a bit boxed in because of that, but that’s not my fault.”

On the final straight, Luka Mezgec took up the leadout for BikeExchange on the left-hand side, trying to set up Groenewegen. Ewan looked pretty much in perfect position but was ultimately boxed in and didn’t even bother to sprint. Groenewegen was second, Kristoff third, Stuyven fourth and Sagan fifth!

Philipsen got on Groenewegen’s wheel - the BikeExchange–Jayco rider went early - and Philipsen timed it perfectly, completely dominating his rival in the final metres after springing out from behind Groenewegen and heading for the clear road on the right. Ewan looked unhappy to be boxed in by Kristoff. A really bad Tour de France for the Australian and for Lotto Soudal.

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) wins Tour de France Stage 21!

Wow! Philipsen’s second stage win of the race is sealed in Paris! Back down the road, Jumbo-Visma ride across the finish line in formation. Jonas Vingegaard safely negotiates the final stage and wins his first Tour de France .

Alpecin-Deceuninck team’s Belgian rider Jasper Philipsen celebrates winning the stage.

1km to go: Thomas (Cofidis) attacks!

2.5km to go: Ewan is well placed for Lotto Soudal and has teammates around him. Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) is right up there. Jakobsen is going to have a say, too ...

3.5km to go: Politt leads for a while then pops and drops back. Simmons is there for Trek-Segafredo and Pedersen ... The peloton speeds towards the famous tunnel for one final time.

5km to go: Around the Arc for the final time. Ineos are on the front with Ganna. Trek-Segafredo are massed near the front. Politt is up there for Bora. BikeExchange working for Groenewegen. It’s all happening.

6.3km to go: Thomas and Ganna attack on the left for Ineos! Pogacar attacks off the front on the other side of the road! Pogacar isn’t letting his Tour de France crown go without at least reminding us all that he still exists!

7.5km to go: The riders round the right-hand bend which leads up to the start-finish line for the penultimate time. The Arc de Triomphe is visible in the distance. As the bell sounds for the final lap, Schachmann and Rutsch are overwhelmed by the charging peloton. The crowd roars! We are all back together!

8.5km to go : And then there were two. Schachmann and Rutsch are up front together, the two Groupama-FDJ riders having fallen out of it.

9km to go: HUGE ride by Schachmann of Bora-Hansgrohe, on the front again and stamping on the pedals as hard as he can. He has clearly ridden himself into some very good form at this Tour.

11km to go: Schachmann does another turn, then flicks his elbow to ask Jonas Rutsch to have a go. The turns at the front are becoming shorter and shorter as the fatigue really sets in. Are the sprinters’ teams just holding off a touch? No – the gap is now six seconds.

12km to go: Cracking ride by the four up front, this is. They are holding the peloton at around 10sec as they round the Arc de Triomphe. Mind you, the four is now down to three: Le Gac’s tank is empty and he drops back to the bunch.

15km to go: The break’s advantage drops to under 10 seconds. They will be getting swallowed up before too long. Looking grim-faced, Schachmann puts in another desperate dig to try and keep away. These guys are basically sprinting now to try and keep their advantage ... and it does creep back up to 11sec to mark the effort they are putting in.

18km to go: Doull has been dropped by the escape group so they are down to four. The gap is holding at 15sec. Le Gac and Duchesne, the Groupama-FDJ teammates, take it up at the tête de la course .

19km to go: The likes of Lotto Soudal are working desperately to set up a sprint. Their sports directors will be yelling down the team radios and no mistake. But will they simply be setting up the likes of Wout van Aert to win in Paris again? If as expected it’s a big bunch sprint, surely Jakobsen or Ewan will have the raw speed to win it ...?

How about Alexander Kristoff (Intermarché–Wanty–Gobert Matériaux), a man who has won in Paris before, and who tends to excel when everyone else is knackered?

Jonas Vingegaard, wearing the overall leader’s yellow jersey, passes the Louvre Museum

20km to go: Here we go. Into the final 20km of a truly epic Tour de France . The advantage for this five-man break is 15sec.

The riders in the break are Schachmann, Duchesne, Rutsch, Le Gac and Doull.

21km to go: #LargelyCeremonial

You get a different perception of the Largely Ceremonial and Processional Paris stage when you’re actually there. It’s unbelievable how fast the riders go on the circuit, and it’s exhilarating to see. Plus, Paris is the greatest city in the world. — Edward Pickering (@EdwardPickering) July 24, 2022

22km to go: Boasson Hagen has a mechanical and grabs a replacement bike. That’ll be another lung-bursting effort to get back into the peloton, let alone do anything to try and lead out his teammate Peter Sagan.

Tour de France 2024 final moved to Nice ahead of Paris Olympics

The final stage of the Tour De France, traditionally held on Paris's Champs Elysees, will be moved to the southern city of Nice in 2024 when the capital hosts the Olympics, the southern city's mayor confirmed on Thursday.

Issued on: 01/12/2022 - 13:09

"It's with some emotion that I am announcing the final stage of the Tour De France 2024 will be held in Nice", Christian Estrosi told a news conference.

The finale of cycling's biggest race has not been moved in the last 100 years, but the 2024 edition will come as Paris prepares to host the Summer Olympics , starting just a few days after the Tour ends.

The capital's Champs Elysees boulevard is to be transformed into an Olympics venue.

Tour director Christian Prudhomme also said the final stage will be a time trial, which hasn't happened in more than 30 years.

The Mediterranean city of Nice, France's fifth-largest, is popular with tourists in the summer.

Nice's famous beachside walkway, the Promenade des Anglais, was the scene of a deadly attack in 2016 in which 86 people were killed and hundreds injured when an armed man drove a heavy truck into a crowd that had gathered to watch fireworks.

In 2020, when Nice hosted the Tour's opening stage, there was a huge crash in heavy rain within three kilometres of the finish line on the Promenade des Anglais, severely injuring French rider Thibaut Pinot.

Tour de France won’t finish in Paris for first time in more than a century because of the Olympics

PARIS (AP) — The final stage of next year’s Tour de France will be held outside Paris for the first time since 1905 because of a clash with the Olympics, moving instead to the French Riviera.

Because of security and logistical reasons, the French capital won’t have its traditional Tour finish on the Champs-Elysees. The race will instead conclude in Nice on July 21. Just five days later, Paris will open the Olympics.

The race will start in Italy for the first time with a stage that includes more than 3,600 meters of climbing. High mountains will be on the 2024 schedule as soon as the fourth day in a race that features two individual time trials and four summit finishes.

There are a total of seven mountain stages on the program, across four mountain ranges, according to the route released Wednesday.

The race will kick off in the Italian city of Florence on June 29 and will take riders to Rimini through a series of hills and climbs in the regions of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. That tricky start could set the scene for the first skirmishes between the main contenders.

Riders will first cross the Alps during Stage 4, when they will tackle the 2,642-meter Col du Galibier.

“The Tour peloton has never climbed so high, so early,” Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme said.

And it will just be just a taste of what’s to come since the total vertical gain of the 111th edition of the Tour reaches 52,230 meters.

The next big moment for two-time defending champion Jonas Vingegaard and his rivals will be Stage 7 for the first time trial in the Bourgogne vineyards. The first rest day will then come after a stage in Champagne presenting several sectors on white gravel roads for a total of 32 kilometers that usually provide for spectacular racing in the dust.

Tour riders will then head south to the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, then return to the Alps for a pair of massive stages with hilltop finishes, at the Isola 2000 ski resort then the Col de la Couillole, a 15.7-kilometer (9.7-mile) ascent at an average gradient of 7.1%.

There should be suspense right until the very end because the last stage, traditionally a victory parade in Paris for the race leader until the final sprint takes shape, will be a 34-kilometer (21.1-mile) time trial between Monaco and Nice.

“Everyone remembers the last occasion the Tour finished with a time trial, when Greg LeMond stripped the yellow jersey from the shoulders of Laurent Fignon on the Champs-Elysees in 1989, by just eight seconds,” Prudhommne said. “Thirty-five years later, we can but dream of a similar duel.”

There are eight flat stages for the sprinters, leaving plenty of opportunities for Mark Cavendish to try to become the outright record-holder for most career stage wins at the sport’s biggest race.

The route for the third edition of the women’s Tour will take the peloton from the Dutch city of Rotterdam, starting Aug. 12, to the Alpe d’Huez resort. The race will feature eight stages and a total of 946 kilometers.

Tour de France 2022 Route stage 21: Nanterre - Paris

Tour de France 2022

The riders clip into their pedals near Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, a western suburb of Paris. The riders approach the French capital as if pedalling to the beach. A glass of champagne, a photo shoot, a very slow pace – those are the ingredients of the parade stage on the final day of action. But once the riders hit the cobbles on the Champs-Élysées the bunch accelerates. The stage ends with eight fast laps of almost 7 kilometres.

Mark Cavendish was the fastest sprinter in Paris in the period 2009-2012. In subsequent years Marcel Kittel (2013, 2014), André Greipel (2015, 2016), Dylan Groenewegen (2017), Alexander Kristoff (2018), Caleb Ewan (2019), Sam Bennett (2020), and Wout van Aert (2021) powered to victory.

Van Aert’s sprint victory on the Champs-Élysées was something extraordinary, as it underlined his versatility. The day before he won a time trial, while he also turned out on top in last year’s mountain stage with a double ascent of Mont Ventoux.

Champs-Élysées is French for Elysium, the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous in Greek mythology. What a place to end the world’s biggest annual sporting event!

The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds.

The final sprint of the Tour de France always takes place on Paris’ famous avenue. On 18 July, as it has every year since 1975, the last stage of the famous cycling race will end on the Champs-Élysées.

With 3,383 kilometres for the legs to tackle and some 403,000 pedal strokes over three weeks, taking part in the Tour de France is no easy task.

In view of the conclusion of the 21st and final stage of the Grand Boucle , the peloton will give it all they’ve got. Before parading in the capital, the riders will have sweated to climb the 30 passes of the 2021 race, rising in their saddles to pick up momentum and clenching their teeth in the vertiginous descents.

The Champs-Élysées in all its majesty

From Brittany to the Alps, from the Occitanie to the Pyrenees, the riders will have been so focused on their performance that they won’t have soaked up much of the photogenic landscapes of France, broadcast across 100 TV channels.

But by the end of the efforts, what a reward: the majestic Champs-Élysées, with the blue-white-red wake of the famous Patrouille de France fly-past. Nobody else has such a claim on the famous avenue except the French football team, winner of the World Cup in 2018.

Standing on the podium at the bottom of the famous Parisian avenue, with the setting sun at the Arc de Triomphe and Grande Arche de la Défense as a backdrop, the winner of the Tour will have – like all his fellow riders – accomplished the Parisian ritual.

Established in 1975, this involves riding up and down the Champs-Élysées eight times, totalling 1,910 legendary metres separating the obelisk of the Place de la Concorde from the star of the Place Charles-de-Gaulle.

A ride beside the Louvre Pyramid

Seen from above, the spectacle of the peloton winding like a long ribbon decorated around the Arc de Triomphe is magical. From the pavements lining the route of this final sprint, the enthusiasm of the public pushes the riders on through the Quai des Tuileries, Place des Pyramides and Rue de Rivoli in Paris.

Will they take a look as they go past? Not sure. Almost lying on their handlebars, they traditionally take this last stage at a crazy pace, overlooking the cobblestones and prestigious landmarks around. Louis Vuitton, Guerlain, Ladurée and even, recently, the Galeries Lafayette, make up the exclusive backdrop of the peloton’s arrival on the Champs-Élysées.

Among the live support or behind your TV screen, it’s you who will enjoy all these beauties... happy as a spectator of the Tour!

10 top tips for watching the Tour de France in Paris

Plan on watching the tour de france in paris here are 10 things to help you plan your big day..

I get lots of enquiries about watching the Tour de France ( see here for THIS general advice ). However the experience in the mountains or in the countryside (or even in larger towns and cities) is hugely different to the vibe in Paris as the peloton arrives in the French capital to crown the yellow jersey.

The last stage of the Tour de France might take a different route into Paris every year but it ALWAYS finishes with laps of the  Champs-Élysées, so out of all the stages of the Tour de France, the final one into Paris is in many ways the easiest to plan because you always know where it's going to end (and you've got all year to plan it – you don't actually need to wait for the final route announcement).

It's been this way since 1975 – the first time the Tour ended on the  Champs-Élysées, and the start of one of the finest sporting traditions in the world. Between 1968 amd 1974, the Tour finished at the Vélodrome de Vincennes (also known as Vélodrome Jacques Anquetil - La Cipale) to the south-east of the city. Before that, from 1904 and 1967, it ended at Parc des Princes – originally part-owned by Tour de France founder Henri Desgrange (the velodrome is long gone and has been replaced with a football stadium, which is now home to La Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain). The first-ever Tour de France , in 1903, ended for the first and only time at Ville-d'Avray, in the west of Paris.

Watching the Tour de France in Paris

Enough with the history!  My friend and fellow cyclist Jacqui Brown has this excellent first-hand account of watching the Tour de France in Paris.

She's also sent me the following tips to help make your planning easier.

1.   Book a hotel early (like now) and with a bit of research you could be surprised at how reasonable the prices are, but you need to book early and be aware that rooms will get more expensive as race day gets closer. If money is no object, book a room with a balcony overlooking the Jardin des Tuileries at a hotel on Rue de Rivoli where you will have one of the best views, or check out the Radisson Arc de Triomphe . See here for bike-friendly options in Paris if you're travelling with your bike. 

2. Find your space early. This will ensure you are on the route and in a good position so you don't miss anything. This is especially important if you are short. Don't forget to check the Tour de France schedule to see what time the Tour de France caravan comes through.

3. Ideally find a place on the circuit that goes around the Jardin des Tuileries , then up and down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées – this means the riders will pass by 8 times .

4. Don't worry about being on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées – it's more crowded and although the cyclists do pass up and then down again, the road is wide and in places the barriers are quite a distance from the edge of the road.

5. If you don’t want the crowds, then aim for the Jardin des Tuileries and find a place on Rue de Rivoli . There are far fewer people there than on the opposite side of the road. You need to exit the Metro at Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre.

6. From quite early on, some Metro stations will be closed . We wanted to exit at Concorde for Place de la Concorde, but had left it too late. Again, plan ahead to arrive early if you're arriving by Metro, or try and stay within walking distance of the route ( or hire a Vélib’  bike  – here are 5 great bike rides in Paris if you have time before or after the Tour).

7. Do be aware that there are very few access points to cross from one side of the road to the other, so don't get 'stuck' on one side if you need to get back to the other in a hurry.

8. Check the weather. It may be the end of July, but it could be cold and wet or hot and sunny and no matter where you are, you are unlikely to be in a sheltered spot. Standing still, exposed to the elements is no fun if you're unprepared. Pack either suncream and a hat, or coat and gloves, depending on the forecast. And don't forget water and snacks: there's nothing worse than finding the perfect spot only to have to give it up to go hunting for supplies.

9. Further to the above, it's good to watch in pairs or small groups. That way someone can always hold the fort and guard your spot while you go off to find the toilet or to take the kids for a walk if they are getting bored waiting.

10. Take your home country's supporters flag and don't be shy to shout out and have fun . The teams will love it and we found it to be a very friendly, international event.

Where To Watch the Tour de France in Paris

Cyclists riding down the Rue de Rivoli.

This post may contain sponsored or affiliate links.

The 2023 edition of the Tour de France gets underway Saturday, July 1st with riders setting off from Bilbao, Spain. After biking through Basque Country, the racers head northeast across France, rolling through more than 25 different cities in France before coming Paris to reach the finish line on the  Avenue des Champs-Élysées Sunday, July 23.

Click here to see the map of the route on the official Tour de France website.

Although only the final stage of the competition takes place in Paris, you can still follow along with all 21 étapes of the Tour de France while in the capital. Here are our suggestions for how to watch the race in Paris.

Follow from a Café or Pub

During what is undoubtedly the international cycling event of the year, many bars in Paris show all stages of the race, including a few classic Parisian cafés . We’ve double-checked for you and know that the friendly La Taverne de l’Olympia near Opéra and Le Viaduc Café under the arches in the 12th Arrondissement will both be happy to put on the Tour de France for you if you ask.

If you’re after more of a sports bar atmosphere though, your best bet is to head to an Australian or English pub in Paris. Watch some cycling on the Seine at the Café Oz Rooftop near the Gare d’Austerlitz, sit at the counter of the cozy Cross of Saint George to talk cycling with an English-speaking local, or head to the small but super friendly fine spirits pub Wos Bar in the Latin Quarter to keep track of the peloton.

A few of our favorite cafés and bars in Paris showing the Tour de France:

  • La Taverne de l’Olympia, 25 Rue de Caumartin, 75009 Paris
  • Le Viaduc Café, 43 Avenue Daumesnil, 75012 Paris
  • Café Oz Rooftop, 34 Quai d’Austerlitz, 75013 Paris
  • Hall’s Beer Tavern, 68 Rue Saint-Denis, 75001 Paris
  • Wos Bar, 184 Rue Saint-Jacques, 75005 Paris
  • Cross of Saint George, 35 Rue Saint-Georges, 75009 Paris

Cheer on the Cyclists During the Final Stage

The 21st and final stage of the 2023 Tour de France will come through Paris on Sunday, July 23. The first cyclists should arrive in the French capital at approximately 6pm, following along the southern border of the city before making their way up through the 14th Arrondissement, to the Latin Quarter and then crossing the Seine before arriving at the Louvre at 6:05pm.

The riders will then make nine laps of the final circuit, going up the Rue Rivoli, through the Place de la Concorde, onto the Champs-Élysées, around the Arc de Triomphe , back down, and then around the Jardin des Tuileries before doing it all again.

Come early and get a spot on the Rue Rivoli across from the Jardin des Tuileries — there are fewer crowds than on the Champs-Elysées, you’ll be closer to the action, and you’ll get to see the cyclists pass by nine times!

The Tour de France in Paris

Meet Them at the Finish Line

As every year since 1975, the finish line of the Tour de France is once again on the Champs-Élysées .

The first riders should be arriving at the final circuit at approximately 6pm, with the winner expected to cross the finish line at roughly 7:25pm.

The sidewalks of the world-famous avenue can get very crowded during the event, and the barriers are often quite far from the actual athletes, so you may want to head to the Rue Rivoli instead if you don’t mind missing the actual finish.

Right after the race, however, the Champs-Élysées tends to clear out, meaning you can generally get a good spot if you’d like to watch the trophy ceremony.

Urbansider Tip: The Champs-Élysées will be closed most of the day on July 23 for the race. Metro stations around the city may also be temporarily closed for the arrival of the Tour de France in Paris, so check the RATP app to see which lines and stops are affected.

Tour champion Vingegaard still hopes to be in ‘top shape’ for this year’s race after bad crash

The Associated Press

PARIS (AP) — Two-time defending Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard is back on his bike, just a month after a bad crash that left him several broken ribs and a collapsed lung.

And the Danish rider is still hoping to compete at this year’s Tour, which starts in seven weeks.

“I feel good, it’s improving day by day,” Vingegaard said in a video released by his team, Visma–Lease a Bike. “I still have some things to recover from, but it’s going better and better. Of course I hope to be there at the start of the Tour de France. We don’t know exactly how my shape and how my recovery will go, but I will do everything I can to get there in my top shape.”

Vingegaard was hospitalized in Spain last month following the crash that involved other top riders during a chaotic Tour of the Basque Country. He also sustained a broken collarbone and a pulmonary contusion during the accident, which came less than three months before the start of the Tour de France on June 29.

He was back in the saddle on Tuesday.

“This is the first time back on the bike for me riding outside, and it’s really nice to finally be able to ride like normal again,” Vingegaard said in the video, standing by his bicycle. “Finally to be able to ride on the road is really amazing and I’m really looking forward to taking the next steps.”

Before the crash, Vingegaard had been considered one of the top favorites at the Tour again alongside his rival Tadej Pogacar, who is aiming for a Giro d’Italia-Tour de France double this year.

Vingegaard was hardly moving when he was put into an ambulance wearing an oxygen mask and neck brace after the crash with less than 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) remaining in the stage. The pileup also took out Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel, along with several other riders, many of whom needed hospital treatment.

Direct PSG-Dortmund : suivez et commentez en direct la demi-finale retour de Ligue des champions

Ce qu'il faut savoir

Le PSG au pied du mur. Six jours après sa défaite à Dortmund en demi-finale aller de Ligue des champions (0-1) , le Paris Saint-Germain reçoit les Allemands au Parc des Princes avec un objectif simple : s'imposer pour se qualifier en finale de Ligue des champions, quatre ans après celle perdue face au Bayern Munich. Pour les Parisiens, la mission est la suivante : s'imposer par deux buts d'écart pour se qualifier directement. Une différence d'une seule unité enverrait Paris en prolongation tandis que tout autre résultat éliminerait le PSG de cette Ligue des champions.

Une demie au Parc des Princes, 29 ans après Face au Borussia Dortmund, mardi, le PSG dispute sa quatrième demi-finale de Ligue des champions, mais ce sera la première devant son public depuis 29 ans. A l'époque, le PSG de David Ginola, Raï et George Weah recevait l'AC Milan de Paolo Maldini, Marcel Desailly et Marco Simone. Or, depuis cette rencontre (perdue) de 1995, le public parisien n'a plus assisté à une demi-finale européenne. Le PSG en a pourtant disputées deux depuis, en 2020 face à Leipzig et 2021 face à Manchester City, mais à huis clos, à cause de la pandémie. Pour ces retrouvailles, le Parc des Princes s'annonce bouillant, même si le prix des places s'est envolé.

Une défense à recomposer, une attaque à retrouver Alors que le PSG n'alignait sa défense type (Hakimi, Marquinhos, Hernandez, Nuno Mendes) que pour la troisième fois de la saison au match aller, Luis Enrique doit déjà revoir sa copie. Le coach du PSG a perdu Lucas Hernandez, sorti blessé lors du match aller et victime d'une rupture du ligament croisé antérieur du genou gauche . Indisponible pour de longs mois, l'international français devrait être remplacé par Lucas Beraldo au poste de défenseur central gauche. A moins que Luis Enrique ne privilégie l'expérience de Danilo Pereira ou de Milan Skriniar. En attaque, pas d'absence annoncée mais un problème à régler toutefois : celui de l'inefficacité criante des Parisiens au match aller.

Dortmund rêve de retrouver Wembley Vainqueur de la Ligue des champions en 1997, le Borussia Dortmund a également disputé une finale en 2013, à Wembley. Or, la mythique enceinte londonienne sera le théâtre de la prochaine finale de Ligue des champions, le 1er juin prochain. Onze ans après y avoir perdu contre le Bayern Munich – qui espère lui aussi y revenir...  –, le Borussia Dortmund rêve donc d'une revanche à Wembley. D'autant plus que le BvB connaît une saison décevante en championnat (5e), moins d'un an après avoir perdu contre toute attente un titre de champion qui lui tendait les bras . "Si c'est nécessaire, on courra 20 kilomètres de plus. On a un gros objectif, un grand rêve. C'est de cette façon qu'on s'est hissé ici, en demi-finales de la Ligue des champions" , a prévenu Edin Terzic, l'entraîneur allemand, lundi, en conférence de presse.

Peter Sagan: Cycling icon to make stunning road racing return in Tour of Hungary after heart surgery

Becky Hart

Published 07/05/2024 at 18:21 GMT

Peter Sagan is set to resume his road racing career from Wednesday at the Tour of Hungary. One of the greatest sprinters of all time, the Slovakian initially retired at the end of last season to focus on mountain biking. He had the aim of competing in that discipline at the Paris Olympics, but his preparations have been thrown into disarray after two surgeries.

Où voir Paris - Dortmund

Les fans de foot peuvent accéder à la liste des diffuseurs ici .

Pour bien préparer le match

Poussé par le soutien fervent de son célèbre Mur Jaune, Dortmund a remporté le match aller 1-0 grâce à une belle finition de Niclas Füllkrug en première mi-temps. Kylian Mbappé et Achraf Hakimi ont ensuite touché du bois alors que Paris pressait pour égaliser, mais Dortmund s'est accroché. « C'est le football », a déclaré l'entraîneur parisien Luis Enrique. « Parfois c'est magnifique, et puis d'autres fois, c'est comme ça. Nous devrons analyser les occasions créées par les deux équipes. »

Il reste une chance bien réelle que Dortmund atteigne sa première finale depuis 2013, la finale de cette saison se déroule à nouveau à Wembley, et l'adversaire pourrait à nouveau le Bayern. Mais Paris va tout donner pour éviter cette réédition de la finale alors qu'il poursuit sa quête d'une première couronne qui se dérobe en Ligue des champions.

Compos possibles

Paris* : Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Hernández, Mendes; Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz; Dembélé, Mbappé, Barcola Suspendu(s): aucun

Dortmund* : Kobel; Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Maatsen; Can, Sabitzer; Adeyemi, Brandt, Sancho; Füllkrug Suspendu(s): aucun

Sur les équipes

Dortmund Série (toutes compétitions, match le plus récent en premier) : GGPNGG Dernier match : Dortmund 5-1 Augsburg, 04/05, Bundesliga

Les mots des coaches

Luis Enrique, Paris L'objectif est d'atteindre la finale et, pour cela, nous devons être meilleurs qu'une grande équipe comme Dortmund. Il est toujours possible de s'améliorer et nous y avons travaillé. On peut marquer deux buts en trois secondes, mais on peut aussi en encaisser deux dans ce laps de temps.

« On va gagner ». C’est la seule phrase que je connais en français : on va gagner. Un entraîneur est un leader et c’est quelqu’un qui doit dégager de la confiance pour ses joueurs. Je travaille au quotidien pour essayer d’y parvenir. L’idée est de jouer de la même manière qu’au match aller et nous n’allons pas du tout changer de mentalité.

Le rôle des fans demain sera aussi vital qu'il l'a été toute la saison et je n'ai aucun doute sur le fait qu'ils nous soutiendront pleinement. À Dortmund, l'atmosphère était incroyable et nous attendons la même chose au Parc des Princes, en espérant que nous pourrons tous célébrer ensemble à la fin du match.

Edin Terzić, Dortmund Vous devez gagner votre place à Wembley. Tout ce dont nous avons besoin maintenant, c'est d'un match nul au match retour, mais nous voulons aussi gagner. Nous avons une petite avance et une bonne opportunité.

Nous devons tout faire ensemble, avec un bon plan, une bonne idée. Paris sera certainement meilleur que la semaine dernière. Nous voulons gagner notre ticket pour la finale. Nous allons nous y atteler ensemble.

PSG-Dortmund : à quelle heure et sur quelle chaîne suivre la demi-finale retour de la Ligue des champions ?

Le coup d’envoi de la demi-finale retour de la Ligue des champions entre Paris et Dortmund aura lieu ce mardi, à 21 heures au Parc des Princes. Les Français doivent gagner pour espérer atteindre la finale.

Un dernier effort pour, peut-être, atteindre la finale de la Ligue des champions . Ce mardi à 21 heures, la demi-finale retour commencera entre le Paris Saint-Germain et le Borussia Dortmund .

Après leur défaite au match aller en Allemagne (1-0) , les Français doivent impérativement l’emporter au Parc des Princes s’ils espèrent se qualifier pour la finale de la Ligue des champions, le 1er juin prochain à Wembley.

Pour cela, les Parisiens seront privés de Lucas Hernandez , victime d’une rupture du ligament croisé antérieur du genou gauche lors du match aller. Luis Enrique , le coach du Paris Saint-Germain, devra donc s’adapter et composer sa défense en conséquence.

Le coup d’envoi de la demi-finale retour de la Ligue des champions entre le PSG et Dortmund sera donné ce mardi, à 21 heures. Elle sera diffusée sur Canal + Foot, RMC Sport 1 et commentée en direct sur Le Parisien .
