NBC Sports airs every stage of the 110th Tour de France, including live daily start-to-finish coverage on Peacock .

Additional encores of each stage air on USA at 2 a.m. ET most days. All NBC and USA Network coverage also streams on NBCSports.com/live and the NBC Sports app. Complete broadcast information is here .

The Tour began July 1 with the Grand Départ in Spain before crossing into France on the third stage.

The Tour covers France’s five biggest mountain ranges, including eight mountain stages and four summit finishes.

The Tour will not have a time trial on the penultimate day as it did the last three years. Instead, the 20th stage, usually the last competitive stage for the yellow jersey, includes five significant climbs.

This is the first Tour since 2009 to include the last three men to win a Tour. That’s Dane Jonas Vingegaard, who went from a fish-packing facility worker years ago to the top of pro cycling in 2022; Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, who in 2020 became at 21 the second-youngest winner in race history, then repeated in 2021, and Colombian Egan Bernal, who in 2019 became the first South American to win the Tour.

Mark Cavendish, a 38-year-old Brit aiming to break his tie for the career Tour de France stage wins record of 34, crashed out in the eighth stage of his final Tour.

How to watch the Tour de France for free

*CableTV.com utilizes paid Amazon links. Amazon.com Price; $47.99 (as of 5/3/23 11:30 a.m. CT). Read full disclaimer .

The most convenient way to watch the Tour de France for free is by using an over-the-air (OTA) antenna to pick up your local NBC station. Unfortunately, NBC doesn’t show a lot of race coverage—mostly encore presentations of early and late stages. But it never hurts having an antenna in your TV setup.

If you don’t have an antenna, most cost between $20.00 and $60.00. We recommend the Mohu Leaf 50 for its 60-mile range and slim design. But you’ll want to verify the distance of your nearest NBC station by entering your zip code into the Federal Communications Commission’s Reception Map Tool . That’ll help determine if you need a more robust antenna, which we feature on our Best OTA Antennas page.

Pro tip: To make up for every stage NBC doesn’t air, you can stream free race recaps on NBC Sports’ YouTube channel .

The 110th Tour de France will stream on Peacock and air on NBC and USA Network throughout July 2023. Peacock offers the best way to watch Le Tour because it streams every stage from beginning to end. It also carries the entire women’s race, which begins the same day as the men’s competition ends.

If you’re a cycling fan without access to fast and reliable internet, most cable and satellite TV services have NBC and USA Network. Those channels don’t show as much Tour de France coverage as Peacock, but you’ll still see the most vital moments of the race.

How to watch the Tour de France FAQ

The Super Bowl of cycling is back.

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.

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.

Riders to watch

This year is expected to be a two-man battle for the general classification between two-time winner Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), who emerged triumphant last year.

The 24-year-old Pogačar, regarded as the rider of his generation, was poised for a third straight title last year before Vingegaard, backed by a strong Jumbo-Visma squad, spoiled the campaign in the mountains. While the Slovenian Pogačar often has to fend for himself, the Danish Vingegaard, 26, has the backing of a “superteam” that includes do-it-all Belgian Wout van Aert and American Sepp Kuss to deliver him the yellow jersey.

Pogačar will undoubtedly be out for revenge, but questions are swirling about his fitness after he broke his wrist in a race earlier this year and had to miss some time. Whichever way the race goes, it’s always worth a reminder that this pair gave us an iconic moment of sportsmanship last year.

In the “last dance” category, we have British veteran Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan), French fan favorite Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) and Slovakian sprint star Peter Sagan (TotalEnergies). All three plan to retire after the 2023 season (though Sagan said he plans to compete in mountain biking at the Paris Olympics).

Cavendish, 38, has 34 stage wins on the Tour — tied for the most ever with Eddy Merckx (who reached the mark in 1975). Cavendish is seeking one last win in his 14th Tour to retire as the record-holder after sitting out last year.

The 33-year-old Pinot won the young rider classification in 2014 and has since won three stages, most recently in 2019 (when he had to abandon the race with two stages to go after tearing a leg muscle while in fifth place).

Sagan, 33, owns a record seven green jersey wins and has won 12 stages, the last coming in 2019.

Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers), the last man not named Pogačar or Vingegaard to win the Tour, will be in the peloton for the first time since 2020 after returning from a near-fatal crash in January 2022.

If you’ve followed the last few tours, you might also be wondering what’s up with Primož Roglič. The 2020 runner-up had to abandon the 2021 Tour before the ninth stage, and after starting the 2022 race as a Jumbo-Visma co-leader with Vingegaard, dropped out before the final rest day due to injuries. He did win the Giro d’Italia in May, but said he would take a break from racing to celebrate.

Beyond the general classification, you can monitor the additional races within the Tour: for the green jersey (points classification, generally considered a sprint competition) and polka dot jersey (king of the mountains).

Here is the official route map for the Tour de France 2023:

Tour de France 2023 cyclists

As we mentioned in the intro, Jonas Vingegaard is the defending Tour de France champion and is returning to the race this year to make it two in a row. He is widely viewed as one of the favorites, but who is best situated to challenge him?

According to What to Watch sister site CyclingNews , Vingegaard may not even be the favorite. They list Tadej Pogacar as their top pick to win the race. It certainly is a rivlary to watch between the two, as Vingegaard's win in 2022 prevented Pogacar from winning the race for the third straight year.

Other likely contenders include Mikel Landa, David Gaudu, Enric Mas, Richard Carapaz, Romain Bardet, Jai Hindley, Simon Yates and Dani Martinez.

2023 Tour de France route

From the Basque Country to Paris and all the stages in between

The 2023 Tour de France got underway on July 1st in Bilbao, Spain with another demanding route that includes only a single 22km hilly time trial in the Alps and mountain stages in all five of France’s mountain ranges. From the Grand Départ in the Basque Country to the finish in Paris, Cyclingnews has all the route details.

The very limited amount of time trialling and preponderance of mountains no doubt suits French riders  Thibaut Pinot , David Gaudu and Romain Bardet. As a result, Remco Evenepoel, Primoz Roglič and Geraint Thomas targeted the Giro d’Italia, which had three times the amount of time trialling and fewer mountains.

Official information from race organiser ASO claimed the 3,404km route includes eight flat stages for the sprinters, four hilly stages suited to breakaways and eight mountain stages. Four of these include summit finishes: in the Pyrenees at Cauterets-Cambasque, on the legendary Puy de Dôme volcano in the Massif Central, on the Grand Colombier in the Jura and at Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc in the Alps.

The other mountain stages are also extremely difficult, even if some are short and extra intense.

Stage 14 to Morzine includes 4,200m of climbing, alongside the mighty Col de Joux Plane and its testing descent to the finish. Stage 15 ends with the 11% ‘wall’ of Côte des Amerands and then the 7km 7.7% climb up to Saint-Gervais in view of Mont-Blanc.       

Stage 17 to Courchevel is arguably the queen stage, climbing the 2,304m-high Col de la Loze and then descends to finish on the altiport runway. Stage 20 is a final brutal multi-mountain stage in the Vosges between Belfort and Le Markstein ski resort.

The only time trial is on stage 16 in the Arve Valley near Sallanches after the second rest day, but the 22km route between Passy and Combloux will test riders' bike handling skills and climbing as much as their time trialling. The stage includes the Côte de Domancy, where Bernard Hinault forged his 1980 Worlds victory, and which also featured as part of the final week time trial in the 2016 Tour.

2022 Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard was arguably the best climber of the last two editions of the Tour and he appears to have plenty of opportunities to go on the attack on the steep ascents in 2023.

Two-time winner  Tadej Pogačar  will no doubt relish the route on offer for next July’s challenge against Vingegaard, Jumbo-Visma, Ineos Grenadiers and anyone else.

Tour de France 2023 Stage 14: How to watch on Saturday, TV and live stream details, start time, route map

Updated 15/07/2023 at 09:03 GMT

After a few days of GC stalemates, the 2023 Tour de France battle between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar resumed on Friday with the latter pinching seconds atop the Grand Colombier. Saturday sees the riders enter the Alps, with an ascent of the Col de Joux Plane before a dash down into Morzine. Which of the GC big guns will flourish in the high mountains?

The 110th Tour de France cycles across the finish line tomorrow. The annual long-distance race once again brought together some of the biggest names in cycling, including defending champion Jonas Vingegaard, Tadej Pogacar, Mikel Landa, Enric Mas, David Gaudu, Jai Hindley and Ben O'Connor. Want to tune into the final day of the Tour de France (AKA the cycling Super Bowl) and find out who will take home the yellow jersey in 2023? Here’s what you need to know about watching this year’s Tour de France.

How to watch the Tour de France from the US:

Stream the tour de france, stream from anywhere expressvpn.

Tour de France dates: July 1-23

Tour de France TV channel: NBC, USA

Tour de France streaming: Peacock

How to watch the 2023 Tour de France without cable:

Starting at just $5 a month, a Peacock subscription is the easiest way to stream live sports and events airing on NBC, including this year’s Tour de France! On top of access to the Tour de France, the streaming platform is the easiest way to stream most live sports and events airing on NBC. You’ll also get access to thousands of hours of shows and movies, including beloved sitcoms such as Parks and Recreation and The Office and even recent theatrical releases like Book Club: The Next Chapter , Renfield   and soon the Super Mario movie . For $10 monthly you can upgrade to an ad-free subscription which includes live access to your local NBC affiliate (not just during designated sports and events) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline.

Is there a free Tour de France livestream?

Don’t want to pay for Peacock to watch the Tour de France? UK-based channel ITVX will have a free livestream of their Tour de France coverage throughout the race. To access this free livestream though, you’ll need a VPN.

To watch ITVX from the US, you’ll need to sign up (or sign in) for a good streaming VPN and choose a UK server. From there, you should be able to watch ITVX totally free from the US. Don’t have a VPN yet? Check out Endgadget’s guide to the best VPNs, or check out our top VPN pick for streaming below:

New users can save 35% and get an extra three months free when they sign up for ExpressVPN’s 12-month subscription. Plus, the service offers a 30-day free trial.

Tour de France 2023 : notre sélection des plus belles étapes de montagne

Inspiration

Vélotourisme Nature et Activités Outdoor Activités sportives Montagne

Temps de lecture: 0 min Publié le 4 décembre 2023, mise à jour le 15 avril 2024

Plus célèbre course cycliste au monde, le Tour de France prendra cette année encore de la hauteur puisqu’au fil des 3 404 km et 21 étapes, les 5 massifs français sont au programme ! Pyrénées, volcans d'Auvergne, montagnes du Jura, Alpes et massif des Vosges… Le peloton n’a pas fini de pédaler en danseuse ni d’avaler les dénivelés. Dans des paysages grandioses, les arrivées en altitude et les descentes vertigineuses promettent des sommets d’émotions. Pour vivre les hauts (et les bas) de la grande boucle, en selle avec notre sélection des plus belles étapes de montagne.

De Tarbes à Cauterets-Cambasque, les Pyrénées à l'honneur

Après 3 étapes côté espagnol, bienvenue dans les Pyrénées françaises ! Voilà d’abord Bayonne et le Pays basque, Dax et ses thermes, Pau et son beau château où naquit le roi Henri IV. Et puis Tarbes, son panorama époustouflant sur les montagnes alentour, ses rues bordées de palmiers (oui, oui !) et ses marchés gourmands. Il faudra bien du courage aux coureurs du Tour de France 2023 pour s’arracher à cette douceur de vivre et attaquer les montées des cols d’Aspin et du terrible Tourmalet . Une belle grimpette récompensée par une arrivée sur le plateau du Cambasque, en surplomb de la charmante station de Cauterets, au cœur du Parc national des Pyrénées où trône le Pic du Midi . Envie de vous mettre au frais ? Essayez la randonnée jusqu’au paisible lac d’Ilhéou . Dans un écrin de verdure, points de vue magnifiques et cascades, pique-nique et baignades...

Le Puy de Dôme, plein la vue en Auvergne

L’ascension du Puy de Dôme, star incontestée de l’Auvergne, sera l’un de moments forts du Tour de France 2023 ! Depuis 35 ans, le plus jeune et plus haut volcan de la chaîne des Puys n’avait pas figuré à l’itinéraire. Se lancer à l’assaut de ce redoutable et majestueux sommet pour une arrivée avec vue à 360 ° sur les doux vallonnements du Parc naturel régional des Volcans d’Auvergne va en motiver plus d’un ! Mais savez-vous que l’on peut aussi gravir ce géant paisible par un chemin muletier ou à bord du Panoramique des Dômes, un pittoresque petit train à crémaillère ? En 15 minutes, vous voilà transporté à 1 465 m d’altitude avec 80 volcans de la chaine des Puy et la faille de Limagne (inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco ) à vos pieds. Pour compléter une étape qui pète le feu, le Parc Vulcania n’est pas loin ! Qui dit mieux ?

Echappées belles dans le Jura

Attendez-vous à tomber sous le charme de Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne ! A 1h de Lyon et des Monts du Beaujolais, la petite ville de l’Ain d’où s’élance le 14 juillet le peloton du Tour de France 2023 est une ravissante cité médiévale. Maisons de pierres roses, petits ponts fleuris et vieille halle abritant l’un des marchés traditionnels les plus prisés de France… Elle est aussi la porte d’entrée de la Dombes, paradis de la pisciculture et de l’ornithologie avec ses paysages d’eau et d’étangs. A pied, en barque et idéalement à vélo (c’est plat !), profitez-en avant de prendre de la hauteur dans les Montagnes du Jura , à deux pas. La Pyramide du Bugey au sommet de laquelle se laissent voir le Mont-Blanc ou le lac Léman est un immanquable. Les coureurs du Tour de France l’attaquent par le col du Grand Colombier. A vive allure. Prenez votre temps, le panorama le vaut bien !

Dans les Alpes, entre lacs et cols mythiques

On doute que les coureurs profitent de la vue sur le Lac Léman en donnant le premier coup de pédale dans les Alpes, à Annemasse, lors de la 14e étape du Tour de France 2023. On vous la recommande pourtant, de même que celle sur le Lac d’Annecy et ses eaux turquoise. Il sera temps ensuite d’enchainer virages et montées vers des cols mythiques des Alpes dont le fameux Col du Feu, une ascension inédite pour le peloton. A 1 000 mètres d’altitude, au cœur du domaine skiable des Portes du Soleil, l’arrivée d’étape à Morzine ne calmera pas les envies de nature. L’été, la petite station village des Alpes est un terrain de jeux idéal pour les amateurs d’ activités de plein air : balade le long de la rivière des Dérêches, baignade au lac de Montriond, canyoning ou via ferrata... le plus difficile sera de choisir.

Des Gets à Saint-Gervais, le Mont Blanc en ligne de mire

Pour la première fois, la jolie station des Gets, bien connue des amateurs de VTT (les Championnats du monde s’y sont tenus en 2022), accueillera les coureurs du Tour de France à l'occasion de la 15e étape. Et il faudra avoir du souffle. Le Col de la Forclaz-Montmin est au programme. Alors autorisez-vous une pause à son belvédère pour une vue plongeante sur le lac d’Annecy avant de reprendre la route vers Saint-Gervais, au pied du Mont-Blanc. Pour accéder au plus haut sommet des Alpes, la station village au patrimoine et traditions préservés est l’étape idéale. D’autant que ses thermes, réputés pour leurs eaux aux multiples bienfaits, mettent le bien-être au sommet dans un magnifique écrin de verdure.

Courchevel, star des Alpes

Les habitués la surnomment Courch’ et ils y viennent et reviennent été comme hiver en connaisseurs, tout comme la caravane du Tour de France qui visite la station savoyarde pour la 4e fois. Bienvenue au summum du haut de gamme dans les Alpes, au cœur du domaine des Trois Vallées. Courchevel culmine aussi bien pour l’étendue de son domaine skiable (Méribel et Val Thorens sont ses célèbres voisines) que pour son offre hôtelière (pas moins de 5 palaces de montagne , de l’Apogée au Cheval Blanc en passant par le K2 Palace, Airelles ou l’Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges) et gastronomique. Autant dire qu’avec ses 6 hameaux et ses atours alentour, la station a des arguments pour séduire. Selfie au sommet de la Saulire, balade jusqu’au lac de la Rosière, descente à vélo dans le Bike Park, nuit au refuge des lacs Merlet ou rando au cœur de la vallée des Avals… Vous allez adorer !

A fond les ballons dans les Vosges

Entre plateau lorrain et plaine d’Alsace, le massif des Vosges est à la hauteur de sa réputation : un condensé parfait de nature, de grands espaces, de traditions et de terroir, d’artisanat et de bons fromages. Entre Grand Ballon d’Alsace et Petit Ballon, via le célèbre col de la Schlucht, le Tour de France 2023 s’offre une échappée dans ces terres de moyenne montagne, avec une arrivée inédite sur les pentes du Markstein, dans l’accueillante station familiale de Marlstein Fellering. Au cœur du Parc naturel régional des Ballons des Vosges, randonnée bucolique, luge en alpage, parapente avec vue, pédalées en VTT (ou VAE) dans des paysages d’une sérénité absolue sont au programme. Et avis aux gourmands : en juillet, la saison des myrtilles (et des bonnes tartes dans les fermes auberges) y bat son plein.

Et (enfin) Paris…. et les JO !

Les coureurs seront-ils en forme olympique pour l’arrivée triomphale sur les Champs-Elysées le 23 juillet 2023 ? A un an tout juste des JO 2024 de Paris , le parcours proposera en tout cas un magnifique prologue à l’évènement sportif. Au départ de Saint-Quentin en Yvelines, tous les futurs sites olympiques du département des Yvelines jalonneront l’itinéraire final du peloton. Une gigantesque boucle qui rejoindra la Colline d’Elancourt (où se dérouleront les épreuves de VTT), le Golf National à Guyancourt et le château de Versailles qui accueillera les épreuves d’équitation et une partie des compétitions de pentathlon moderne. Un plateau d’arrivée prestigieux pour un Tour de France 2023 décidément au sommet !
