Tour de France 2024 Route stage 20: Nice - Col de la Couillole

Tour de France 2024

The penultimate stage of Le Tour has Paris-Nice written all over it. Not only does the race start in Nice, but also three of the four mountains served as finishes in recente editions of the Race to the Sun.

In 2018 it was Simon Yates who won the Paris-Nice stage to the Col de la Colmiane. Primoz Roglic and Daniel Felipe Martínez turned out on top on Col de Turini, respectively in 2022 and 2019. And in Tadej Pogacar showcased his skills on the Col de la Couillole. By the way, all climbs – with the exception of the Couilolle – were tackled from another side than will be the case on the Tour.

So the Tour goes ‘Paris-Nice’ and it does so in stile. The race kicks into gear at the Place Masséna in Nice. The riders rolll out in northerly direction and enter the first climbs after 15 kilometres. The Col de Braus is a 10 kilometres effort at 6.6%.

Straight after the descent the road goes back up again. The Col de Turini is the longest – 20.7 kilometres – climb of the day and it leads to the highest point at 1,608 metres above sea level. The average gradient on the Turini sits at 5.7%.

The riders fly through the midway marker on descent and back in the valley, in Roquebillière, the next climb begins at shallow gradients. This part of the Col de la Colmiane is not classified as a climb, but it does go up. Only the last 7.5 kilometres – at 7.1% – are KOM classified, but if you count from bottom to top the Colmaine is roughly 20 kilometres long and averaging almost 5%.

Following the downhill to Saint-Sauveur-sur-Tinée the finish climb kicks in. The Col de la Couillole is a 15.7 kilometres long ascent with an average gradient of 7.1%. The section some 6 kilometres before the finish was important in the 2023 edition of Paris-Nice. Following an intitial move by Chris Harper the big three of that race took the reins. Tadej Pogacar, David Gaudu and Jonas Vingegaard distanced the field before Pogacar sprinted to victory in the fast few hundred metres.

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

Tour de France 2024: programma, tappe, favoriti, squadre e dove vedere in diretta l'edizione numero 111 · Ciclismo su strada

Jonas Vingegaard celebra la vittoria del Tour de France 2023

Il Tour de France 2024 è ormai alle porte: la corsa ciclistica più prestigiosa del mondo prenderà il via sabato 29 giugno e terminerà domenica 21 luglio .

Tutti gli occhi sono puntati sul duello tra lo sloveno Tadej Pogacar e il Campione in carica della corsa, il danese Jonas Vingegaard . Le due superstar hanno vinto gli ultimi quattro titoli e entrambi puntano a imporsi nella Grande Boucle per la terza volta.

Dopo il trionfo senza storia al Giro d'Italia , il 25enne della UAE Team Emirates parte come favorito con l'obiettivo di aggiungere un successo rispetto a quelli del 2020 e del 2021. Potrebbero essere settimane incredibili per il bronzo Olimpico di Tokyo 2020 , visto che il Tour si concluderà pochi giorni prima dei Giochi Olimpici di Parigi 2024 .

Nel frattempo, il suo rivale è rientrato da un lungo infortunio e cercherà di essere in forma per la corsa, provando a diventare il sesto corridore - e il primo scandinavo - a vincere tre Maglie Gialle consecutive.

La corsa di quest'anno sarà unica per una serie di motivi.

Sarà la prima edizione a partire dall'Italia , in occasione dei 100 anni da quando Ottavio Bottecchia portò l'Italia per la prima volta sul gradino più alto del podio in questa rassegna.

La Grand Départ è prevista a Firenze e il gruppo attraverserà le Alpi italiane prima di passare il confine con la Francia nella quarta tappa. L'edizione 111 sarà anche la prima edizione di sempre che non si concluderà nella Capitale, a causa della concomitanza con i Giochi. E non solo: la tappa finale a cronometro, da Monaco a Nizza, potrebbe rivelarsi decisiva per le sorti della competizione.

Ecco tutto quello che c'è da sapere sul Tour de France in edizione Olimpica.

Chi seguire al Tour de France 2024: i favoriti per la Maglia Gialla

Oltre ai due big annunciati - Pogacar e Vingegaard - gli altri sfidanti per la Maglia Gialla sono sicuramente Remco Evenepoel e Primoz Roglic .

Il belga ha ridotto le sue possibilità di successo nella classifica generale per il suo debutto al Tour, ma il suo palmarès ci ricorda che potrebbe sempre succedere qualcosa di diverso. Evenepoel vanta risultati di grande rilievo, tra cui il titolo mondiale su strada nel 2022 e la classifica generale alla Vuelta a España nello stesso anno. Nelle classiche, conta anche due primi posti alla Liegi-Bastogne-Liegi .

Lo sloveno ex Jumbo-Visma, secondo classificato nel 2020 dietro al connazionale Pogacar e oro Olimpico a Tokyo 2020 nella prova a cronometro, nonostante una stagione sottotono, arriva all'appuntamento in fiducia dopo il trionfo al Critérium du Dauphiné .

Jasper Philipsen è tra i favoriti per la Maglia Verde dei velocisti, anche dopo il successo alla Milano-Sanremo e il secondo posto alla Parigi-Roubaix . Il danese Mads Pedersen , Campione del mondo su strada cinque anni fa, è tra i suoi principali sfidanti, mentre a Mark Cavendish basta una vittoria di tappa per superare il record di Eddy Merckx (entrambi a quota 34) per il maggior numero di trionfi di tappa nella storia della corsa.

Anche i vecchi rivali del ciclocross Mathieu van der Poel e Wout van Aert saranno in lizza per i successi nelle singole frazioni. Quest'ultimo è tornato a essere uno dei principali alleati di Vingegaard nella squadra Visma Lease a Bike dopo aver riportato fratture multiple in un incidente nell' Attraverso le Fiandre di marzo scorso.

Il Tour 2024 prevede sette tappe di montagna , tra cui quattro arrivi in vetta . Pogacar (2020, 2021) e Vingegaard (2022) sono già stati vincitori della Maglia a Pois assegnata ai re della montagna e, probabilmente, saranno di nuovo in lotta per indossarla ancora.

Percorso del Tour de France 2024 e tappe chiave

  • Tra le 21 tappe del Tour de France 2024 sono previste anche due cronometro individuali e alcuni settori sterrati per un percorso totale di 3.492 chilometri
  • Partendo da Firenze , i ciclisti completeranno tre tappe complete in Italia attraversando le Alpi prima di attraversare il confine francese da Pinerolo
  • Senza l' Alpe d'Huez e il Mont Ventoux sul percorso di quest'anno, la tappa regina è la penultima : una pedalata impegnativa di 132km da Nizza alla cima del Col de la Couillole
  • Negli ultimi anni, la cronometro individuale finale si è svolta il penultimo giorno e il finale è sempre stato caratterzzato da una passerella sugli Champs-Elysées . A causa però dei preparativi per Parigi 2024, quest'anno la corsa si concluderà con una cronometro di 33.7 km da Monaco a Nizza
  • La Maglia Gialla potrebbe quindi essere decisa nell'ultimo giorno. L'ultima volta che la Grande Boucle si è conclusa con una frazione contro il tempo fu nel 1989 , quando Greg Lemond ribaltò un distacco di 50 secondi nei confronti di Laurent Fignon per poi aggiudicarsi il successo finale per soli otto secondi, che rappresenta tuttora il margine di vittoria più basso nella storia dell'evento

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

Jonas Vingegaard is likely to attempt a third win at the Tour de France 2024

The Tour de France 2024 begins on Saturday 29 June 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 riders will also take on the Apennines, Massif Central and Pyrenees mountain ranges, and pass through Italy, San Marino, Monaco and France.

With Paris busy preparing for the Olympic Games in August there will be no room for the Tour de France's traditional final stage finish on the Champs-Elysées. Instead the race will finish in Nice – the first time it has ever finished outside the capital.

The world's best riders are set to vie for overall victory, with newly crowned Giro d'Italia winner Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) due to take on Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) – both of whom are currently returning from injury – and Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe).

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 .

Check out our page on the  Tour de France 2024 route  for everything you need to know about the 21 stages from Florence to Nice, and look at  our almost complete start list for the race .

This will be the first Tour since  GCN+ closed down , so make sure you read our how to watch the Tour de France guide carefully to make sure you can be fully tuned in. 

Tour de France 2024: Overview

Tour de france 2024: the route.

Tour de France 2024 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 Tour de France 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.

Three professional riders at the Tour de France 2023

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

Pogacar and Vingegaard climbing the Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc

When it comes to potential yellow jersey winners, there are four riders due to take the start line in Florence on June 29. 

The quartet comprises Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), who has just won the Giro d'Italia; Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step), Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike), and Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe) . 

Reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard is the only rider over whom hangs a significant questions mark for the race. Along with Roglič and Evenepoel, he came down in a nasty crash on stage four of the Itzulia Basque Country in April. All were injured but the Dane came off worst, and he only began riding outside in May. All three will still go, but it is not known how well they will perform.

Following the route announcement in October, Tadej Pogačar said that the "end of the journey makes me smile", with the final two 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. The Slovenian won the Giro earlier this year.

Remco Evenepoel will 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. After coming 5th overall and taking a stage win in his Tour debut in 2023 , Carlos Rodríguez will lead Ineos Grenadiers .

Tour de France 2024: Sprinters

Jasper Philipsen celebrates his win on stage 11 of the 2023 Tour de France

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. He has had a fine season so far, with a win at Milan-San Remo and second at Paris-Roubaix and is likely to be the rider to beat at the Tour.

Like Philipsen, Mads Pederson of Trek-Segafredo has enjoyed a successful early season, with a win at Gent-Wevelgem and (unlike Philipsen) a hatful of sprint victories. He's likely to be the Belgian's main rival in the bunch finishes.

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. 

Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty), Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-AlUla) and Fabio Jakobsen (dsm-firmenich-PostNL) are also set to be there and should challenge for wins.

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 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

Vingegaard in the Tour de France yellow jersey

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.

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 puncheurs 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.

Percorso Tour de France 2024, tutte le tappe (Altimetrie e Planimetrie)

tour de france 20 luglio

Percorso variegato e intrigante quello del Tour de France 2024 . In programma dal 29 giugno al 21 luglio , la corsa transalpina propone come sempre un tracciato ricco di spunti d’interesse e con qualche novità, a iniziare già dalle prime e non banali tappe sulle strade italiane, con Firenze che ospiterà uno storico e inedito Grand Départ che toccherà anche Rimini, Cesenatico, Bologna, Piacenza, Torino e Pinerolo, da dove si andrà in Francia. Inedito sarà anche il finale, che per la prima volta nella storia non avverrà a Parigi, alle prese con l’organizzazione delle Olimpiadi, ma a Nizza , dove l’edizione 111 della Grande Boucle si concluderà con una cronometro, 35 anni dopo il famoso precedente che vide Greg LeMond rimontare Laurent Fignon e conquistare la Maglia Gialla per soli 8″.

Questa prova contro il tempo conclusiva, che prenderà il via dal Principato di Monaco (una delle quattro nazioni attraversate dalla gara, dato che nella prima frazione si passerà anche da San Marino), sarà la seconda affrontata dai corridori dopo quella presente nella settima tappa, portando a 59 i chilometri complessivi a crono. Oltre alle due prove contro il tempo ci saranno otto giornate potenzialmente adatte ai velocisti, quattro frazioni collinari, compresa la nona, che prevederà ben 14 tratti di sterrato, e sette tappe di montagna, quattro delle quali con arrivo in salita, per un totale di più di 52000 metri di dislivello da superare e 3498 chilometri da percorrere.

2024 Tour de France: How to watch, schedule, odds for cycling's top race

tour de france 20 luglio

The biggest cycling event of the year - the 111th Tour de France -- kicks off Saturday from Florence, Italy. The 2024 Tour de France's unusual route starts in Italy for the first time ever to honor 100 years since the first Italian victory in the Tour by Ottavio Bottecchia in 1924. Also, due to the 2024 Summer Olympics, the Tour de France will not finish in Paris for the first time in event history.

The 21 stages will cover more than 2,000 miles from Saturday through July 21. Two-time defending winner Jonas Vingegaard looks to become just the ninth cyclist to win at least three Tour de France races. Last year's runner-up, Tadej Pogačar, is looking to do the same. He won in 2020 and 2021 before finishing second to Vingegaard in 2022 and 2023.

Here's what you need to know about this year's race:

Tour de France 2024: tappe, altimetrie e planimetrie. I segreti del percorso da Firenze a Nizza

Non solo l'attesissima partenza dall'italia: sul piatto un tracciato duro che porterà alla cronometro finale in costa azzurra, un altro inedito.

  • Articolo : Tour de France 2024, la grande partenza a Firenze: focus sulle 4 tappe in Italia
  • Articolo : Ciclismo, Kuss 'scarica' Roglic: "Grande corridore, ma ha fatto bene ad andare altrove"

Parigi, 25 ottobre 2023 – Dopo il Giro d'Italia 2024 tocca al Tour de France 2024 : si solleva il velo sulla prossima Grande Boucle in programma dal 29 giugno al 21 luglio 2024 . Proprio la quasi concomitanza con le Olimpiadi 2024 ha costretto gli organizzatori a un arrivo storico e inedito: per la prima volta non Parigi , ma Nizza . Anche la partenza dall' Italia (per la precisione da Firenze ) è un evento memorabile e voluto per onorare la memoria di Ottavio Bottecchia a 100 anni dal suo successo, il primo di un italiano al Tour : la presentazione del percorso disegnato per trovare l'erede di Jonas Vingegaard (presente all'evento insieme ad altri nomi grossi del ciclismo, tra i quali Jasper Philipsen e Mark Cavendish ) muove i primi passi proprio dal Grand Départ in Toscana .

Jonas Vingegaard celebra il trionfo al Tour 2023

Tappa 1 - Firenze-Rimini (206 km)

Pronti, via e il gruppo dovrà vedersela con ben 7 GPM prima dell'arrivo totalmente piatto a Rimini dopo lo sconfinamento a San Marino , un'altra prima volta: il totale recita 3600 metri di dislivello all'esordio del Tour , un evento (l'ennesimo) mai successo prima.

Tappa 2 - Cesenatico-Bologna (200 km)

La tappa Cesenatico-Bologna

Dopo una prima parte quasi totalmente piatta, la frazione dedicata alla memoria di Marco Pantani , a 20 anni dalla morte, si impenna con la scalata del Gallisterna , un muro di 1,2 km con una pendenza media del 12,8% . Un'altra difficoltà altimetrica non da poco è rappresentata dalla doppia ascesa alla salita di San Luca : 1,9 km con una pendenza media del 10,6% .

T appa 3 - Piacenza-Torino (229 km)

La prima chance per i velocisti: l'occasione buona per toccare la terza regione italiana, il Piemonte , dopo aver già omaggiato Toscana ed Emilia-Romagna .

Tappa 4 - Pinerolo-Valloire (138 km)

La tappa Pinerolo-Valloire

Il Tour saluta l' Italia con una frazione che mette sul piatto il primo gigante grazie a un'altezza di 2642 metri : il Col du Galibier e i suoi 23 km con una pendenza media del 5,1% . Prima ancora la carovana affronterà la lunghissima scalata verso Sestriere : 39,9 km con una pendenza media del 3,7% .

Tappa 5 - Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne-Saint-Vulbas (177 km)

Ancora una chance, la seconda, per i velocisti.

Tappa 6 - Macon-Dijon (163 km)

Terza chance per i velocisti anche grazie a un rettilineo finale lungo ben 800 metri .

Tappa 7 - Nuits-Saint-Georges-Gevrey-Chambertin (cronometro individuale) (25 km)

Il primo vero snodo del Tour , dopo l'inizio al fulmicotone in Italia e una fase di calma (apparente), è la cronometro di 25 km ambientata nel bel mezzo delle vigne.

Tappa 8 - Semur-en-Auxois-Colombey-les-Deux-Églises (176 km)

Altra frazione per i velocisti, ma stavolta con un bel distinguo dettato dai 5 GPM piazzati nella prima parte del percorso: qualche velocista potrebbe pagare dazio.

Tappa 9 - Troyes-Troyes (199 km)

Non un inedito ma comunque una rarità nel contesto del Tour : un percorso ad anello, costellato di tratti in sterrato. Per la precisione, i settori saranno 14 , per un totale di 32 km : gravel, polvere e un bel richiamo alla Strade Bianche .

Tappa 10 - Orléans-Saint-Amand-Montrond (187 km)

Altra chance per i velocisti dopo il primo giorno di riposo che, come sempre, traccerà un primo bilancio di un Tour tutto particolare. Attenzione però all'incognita vento: da queste parti nel 2013 i ventagli, a sorpresa, rivoluzionarono la classifica generale.

Tappa 11 - Évaux-les-Bains-Le Lioran (211 km)

Dopo una prima parte sulla carta non impossibile, la frazione si impenna grazie a 4350 metri di dislivello e a diverse salite brevi ma violente che conducono al traguardo finale: da paura (e lo si capisce già dal nome) in particolare il muro del Col de Néronne ( 3,8 km con una pendenza media del 9,1% ). Da temere anche il resto del menù: Puy Mary Pas de Peyrol ( 5,4 km con una pendenza media dell' 8,1% ), Col de Pertus ( 4,4 km con una pendenza media del 7,9% ) e Col de Font de Cère ( 3,3 km con una pendenza media del 5,8% ).

Tappa 12 - Aurillac-Villeneuve-sur-Lot (204 km)

Altra frazione per i velocisti, nonché un modo per rifiatare dopo le fatiche del giorno precedente. Attenzione però all'incognita legata alle fughe, spesso vittoriose nei precedenti a referto a queste latitudini.

Tappa 13 - Agen-Pau (171 km)

Stavolta la frazione non dovrebbe nascondere brutte sorprese ai velocisti: a tal riguardo, è aperta la caccia al successore di Arnaud Démare , l'ultimo ad aver vinto a Pau (nel 2018 ).

Tappa 14 - Pau-Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet (152 km)

Pau è anche una località pirenaica, pronta a fare da preludio a una frazione di fuoco che metterà sul piatto il Col du Tourmalet ( 19 km con una pendenza media del 7,4% ), l' Hourquette d'Ancizan ( 8,2 km con una pendenza media del 5,1% ) e la salita di Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet ( 10,6 km con una pendenza media del 7,9% ), per un totale di 3900 metri di dislivello .

Tappa 15 - Loudenvielle-Plateau de Beille (198 km)

Si continua a salire nella frazione successiva, che avrà come difficoltà da affrontare, tra gli altri, il Col d'Agnes ( 10 km con una pendenza media dell' 8,2% ) e il Plateau de Beille ( 15,8 km con una pendenza media del 7,9% ), per un dislivello totale di 4850 metri nel contesto di 6 GPM . Un dettaglio non casuale: questa tappa sarà di scena il 14 luglio , il giorno della festa nazionale francese che notoriamente stimola gli appetiti dei corridori transalpini in gruppo.

Tappa 16 - Gruissan-Nimes (187 km)

Dopo il secondo e ultimo giorno di riposo, torneranno protagonisti i velocisti. L'attenzione degli uomini in lotta per la classifica generale dovrà essere comunque alta. L'incognita principale? Stavolta non le salite, bensì il tanto temuto Maestrale .

Tappa 17 - Saint-Paul-Trois-Chateaux-Superdévoluy (178 km)

Si sale ancora, con il Col du Noyer ( 7,5 km con una pendenza media dell' 8,4% ) e la salita verso Superdévoluy ( 3,8 km con una pendenza media del 5,9% ) da scalare in quella che si presenta come una frazione ideale per gli attacchi dalla distanza.

Tappa 18 - Gap-Barcelonnette (179 km)

Discorso analogo per la frazione successiva, quella che però potrebbe far gola anche ai velocisti.

Tappa 19 - Embrun-Isola 2000 (145 km)

Il Tour entra nel vivo grazie alle terribili salite di giornata: per la precisione il Col de Vars ( 18,8 km con una pendenza media del 5,7% ), il ritorno in pompa magna della Cime de la Bonette ( 22,9 km con una pendenza media del 6,9% ) e la salita verso Isola 2000 ( 16,1 km con una pendenza media del 7,1% ), per un totale di 4600 metri di dislivello quando, per giunta, l'energia dei corridori sarà quasi ridotta al lumicino.

Tappa 20 - Nice-Col de la Couillole (133 km)

C'è aria di Parigi-Nizza nell'ultima frazione in linea, che avrà nel menù il Col de Braus ( 10 km con una pendenza media del 6,6% ), il Col de Turini ( 20,7 km con una pendenza media del 5,7% ), il Col de la Colmiane ( 7,5 km con una pendenza media del 7,1% ) e il Col de la Couillole ( 15,7 km con una pendenza media del 7,1% ): sarà di fatto l'ultima battaglia in montagna, alla luce dei 4600 metri di dislivello .

Tappa 21 - Monaco-Nice (cronometro individuale) (34 km)

Niente brindisi e foto in gruppo: dopo 35 anni al Tour tornerà la cronometro individuale come ultima tappa. La situazione in classifica generale sarà già definita oppure ci sarà spazio per un clamoroso ribaltone proprio negli ultimi metri di una Grande Boucle comunque storica?

Tour de France: Pogacar rebounds to take stage 20 victory as Vingegaard seals his second overall title

Pinot caught after final mountain attack, Ciccone wins the polka-dot jersey

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) won the final mountain stage of the 2023 Tour de France in a final show of pride. Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) was with him and so set-up overall victory for a second year, with just Sunday’s final parade stage to Paris to race.

Pogačar was determined to fight back after suffering in the Alps and losing seven minutes to Vingegaard. He followed his big rivals in the final corners and then sprinted to the line, celebrating his stage win.

Felix Gall (AG2R-Citroën) was second at the line and Vingegaard was third, with Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) fourth.

Pogačar was part of a select group of five riders that caught and dropped Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) after he attacked alone in front of his home crowds in his last mountain stage of the Tour. It could have been a fairy tail ending but UAE chased the attacks all day and then Pogačar, Vingegaard caught and dropped him on the final climb. Pinot's only consolation was the Prix de la Combativité and final day on the attack.

As the riders travel towards Paris for Sunday’s final stage Vingegaard leads Pogačar by 7:29, with Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) third overall at 10:56.

Simon Yates jumped past Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) to move up to fourth overall at 12:23.

Victory put a smile on Pogačar's face after the disappointment of missing out on overall victory.

“I finally feel like myself again. It was good to feel good again from start to finish after many days of suffering,” he said.

“To pull it off at the finish line, I’m just super, super happy."

“I was waiting for Adam to come back, and his brother again, they were super good. I know him very well, he led me out really good. Thanks to him it was a bit easier to prepare the final and less nervous. I was super happy that the team did such a great job again.”

Pogacar was smiling again but was happy the Tour was coming to an end. He tried to stay optimistic in defeat, finding the special memories of his race.

“I think just the atmosphere in the bus every day, how this team was, I think this will stay as the best memory of this Tour de France.”

He was asked for his worst memory and again avoided talking about defeat but touched on the day he cracked the mighty Col de la Loze climb and had to fight to hold onto second place overall.

“Everytime Marc Soler looked at me on Col de la Loze with his scary eyes. That was the most terrifying moment,” Pogacar said, confirming how Soler played a vital role in getting him to the finish on the day that decided the 2023 Tour de France.

Vingegaard’s 7:29 margin on Pogačar in the general classification meant that he could already begin to celebrate overall victory.

“A second one is also really amazing,” he said, of his 2023 success, which follows his first win in 2022.

“Of course, there’s still the stage into Paris, we have to be careful and not to do anything stupid, but it’s amazing to take my second victory in the Tour de France. I almost can’t believe it.”

Vingegaard seemed to savour his long and intense battle with Pogačar.

“It was definitely a crazy battle we had all these three weeks. I think it has been a really nice race to watch,” he said.

“Also for us, I really appreciated the battle I had with Tadej in this year’s Tour de France. He’s a super great guy. It’s been an amazing fight since Bilbao and hopefully also in the future.

“I enjoyed today and I enjoyed every day I had in the yellow jersey. I felt good on the bike today and so it was another nice fight between me and Tadej.”

Vingegaard rightly shared his success with his Jumbo-Visma teammates.

“I’d never have been able to do this without my fantastic team, they’ve been there every day for me. They’ve done so well over the last three weeks, I’m so happy for all of us. It’ll be super nice in Paris tomorrow,” he said.

“We had a plan and it was the way we executed the plan every day like we wanted to. Thanks to the team, they were so good every day.”

How it unfolded

With just 133.5km to race before the final stage to Paris, stage 20 was always going to be a hectic affair, as different goals, different ambitions, tactics and levels of fatigue intertwined during the final day in the mountains.

Thibaut Pinot naturally got the biggest cheers as he raced on home roads at the Tour de France for the final time and even dreamt of a final victory. However there was also the fight for the stage victory, for the final top ten places, the polka-dot mountains jersey and for pride.

Yet again the stage started fast, with Victor Campenaerts and Lotto Dstny teammate Jasper De Buyst attacking from the very start. They were eventually caught and dropped on the 11.5km Ballon d'Alsace climb and the pace never eased.

Lidl-Trek controlled the peloton and then went on the attack to help Giulio Ciccone in the battle for the polka-dot jersey. Mads Pedersen drove the attack hard and then Matthias Skelmose led out Ciccone at the summit so he could maximum points.

Behind the peloton never eased up, with the race ‘on’ even during the sweeping descent.

Sadly a crash saw Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) and Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma) go down hard on a bend and both suffered cuts to their right eye and the side of the head. Both needed medical treatment from the race doctor but both were allowed to race on.

The peloton split briefly after the crash, with Vingegaard in a 16-rider move. He soon dropped back and so we suddenly had the break of the day. Ciccone was there, with Skelmose, as they chased more KOM points.

Ciccone and Skelmose were first to the top of the Col de la Croix des Moinats, moving the Italian within reach of mathematical victory and the final polka-dot jersey in Paris.

Over the climb, Pinot made his move with teammates Valentin Madouas and Stefan Küng. They dived down the descent and valley road and then catapulted Pinot into the attack on the Col de Grosse Pierre.

Up front were Pinot, Madouas, Ciccone, Skjelmose, Chris Harper (Jayco-Alula), Warren Barguil (Arkéa Samsic), Maxim Van Gils (Lotto Dstny), Rigoberto Uran (EF Education-EasyPost), Kevin Vermaerke (Team dsm - firmenich) and Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers).

Ciccone took more points and knew that the jersey would be his on the Col de la Schlucht after a high-speed 80km of racing. Skelmose again led him out and the Italian danced away in sight of the line, throwing up his arms in victory as he scored two decisive points.

Yet behind the peloton again refused to let the break go, with UAE leading the chase, to try to set up Pogačar. Little did they realise the challenge they faced.

Soon after Col de la Schlucht, it was time for the Petit Ballon climb, so dear to Pinot. He knows every metre and his fans were packed along the roadside from bottom to top and especially at the ‘virage pinot’  official corner.

Pinot soon took off alone to try to win the stage and savour the moment. Only Madouas, Barguil, Pidcock, Harper and Ciccone could chase him but soon only Pidcock and Barguil could stay at 20 seconds, with the Vingegaard chase group at 1:20.

Yet Pinot pushed on, the cheers of the crazy crowds all pushing him along. He went deep on the Petit Ballon, dancing often on the pedals to fight the 8.1% gradient. He reached the summit with a lead of 20 seconds on Barguil, Harper and Pidcock, with the peloton still chasing at 1:25.

It was emotive and not intelligent racing from Pinot but what a moment in his career and way to say ‘adieu’ to the Tour de France mountains and his fans.

He dived down the descent of the Petit Ballon and held off even Pidcock. However, it was a huge effort that would prove costly on the final climb of Col du Platzerwasel and the plateau road to the finish.

Pogačar finally made his move with five kilometres to climb. Vingegaard jumped on his wheel and when he refused to work Felix Gall (AG2R-Citroën) was able to join them.  Behind the battle for the top five and top ten also exploded in a final moment of battle.

Simon Yates and then Adam Yates got away and on the plateau road, they eventually joined Pogačar, Vingegaard and Gall after they caught and dropped Pidcock, Barguil and even Pinot.

Pogačar wanted the stage win and so Adam Yates led the group for his leader, while also securing his third place overall.

The final kilometres snaked across the hillside and so Vingegaard bravely hit out first, ever giving an inch to his big rival. However, Pogačar was faster and came past him in the finishing straight as the road rose upwards one last time.

Pogačar had the speed and anger to win the stage. It was not revenge for overalls defeat but perhaps helps ease the pain.

Simon Yates’ time gain lifted him past Rodriguez into fourth overall, the Briton is now 34 seconds ahead of the young Spaniard before the ride into Paris and the final sprint on the Champs Elysées.

After 20 days of intense racing, the overall classification, the other jerseys and the final podium places have been decided in what has been a Tour de France for the ages.

Eight different owners of the Yellow Jersey, nine changes of leader.

207 starters, 135 finishers.

From stage 19, where Roche took the lead after Jean-François Bernard punctured, the 1987 Tour was a nail-biter with Pedro Delgado and Stephen Roche being well-balanced opponents.

Winner Roche had already won the Giro that year and went on to become World Champion.

Only Eddy Merckx in 1974 had performed that triple. No one has since.

Complete Final 1987 Tour de France General Classification

The Story of the 1987 Tour de France

This excerpt is from "The Story of the Tour de France", Volume 2 If you enjoy it we hope you will consider purchasing the book, either print eBook or audiobook. The Amazon link here will make the purchase easy.

On March 17, Félix Lévitan found his office locked. The problem was said to be the finances involved with a proposed American race. Emilion Amaury, owner of L'Équipe and the Tour, had turned the management of his organization to his son Philippe. Lévitan could no longer call upon the friendship of Emilion Amaury to protect him. Lévitan was sacked and replaced by an interim manager Jean-François Naquet-Radiguet, who lasted only a year.

LeMond was turkey hunting and was accidentally shot by his brother-in-law. That April 20, 40 shotgun pellets tore into his body. He lost 3/4 of his blood and his right lung collapsed. 30 of the pellets could not be removed because of their location, including pellets in his heart lining, liver, small intestine and diaphragm. The short-term consequences of the accident were that LeMond could not return in 1987 to contest the Tour. The long-term effects on LeMond were even greater. The lead in his body left him damaged goods. Even though we will see him return in later years for wonderful victories, he was never the same and eventually had to retire with mitochondrial myopathy. This disorder interferes with the cell's basic ability to produce energy.

Hinault, seeing that he could no longer ride at the top, retired. He rode his last race in November of 1986.

So who was there? Laurent Fignon was still working on finding his old form. That spring he did rather well with a third in both Paris–Nice and the Vuelta a España and several other top-10 placings.

Jean-François Bernard, out from under the shadow of LeMond and Hinault, was expected to do very well. His team, Toshiba-La Vie Claire was a superb formation with Steve Bauer, Kim Andersen and Niki Ruttimann there to back him up.

Pedro Delgado had been showing promise in previous Tours. His team, PDM, was one of the finest in the world. He would have such sterling riders as Gerrie Knetemann, Gert-Jan Theunisse and Steven Rooks helping him. Delgado's spring was an easy, low-key lead-in to the Tour with no notable wins.

Andy Hampsten, with a fourth in the 1986 Tour under his belt and now riding for 7-Eleven, should have been licking his chops at the mountainous 1987 Tour.

Stephen Roche, who played such a large, but perhaps unintentional part in LeMond's 1985 famous ride to Luz-Ardiden, was having a wonderful year. Roche's racing had been up and down. A crash in the Paris Six-Day started the series of never-ending knee problems and attempts to surgically correct them. In 1987 his knee was holding together. Coming to the 1987 Tour he had already won the Tour of Romandie and the Giro d'Italia. He took second in Liège–Bastogne–Liège (he says that if he had been more tactically astute, he would have won it, "I rode like an amateur that day.") and fourth in Paris–Nice.

The 1987 Tour was designed to be tough. It was, in Roche's words, "one of the most mountainous since the war," with a record 26 stages, counting the Prologue. The Prologue was held in West Berlin. Europe was still divided between East and West and would remain so until the autumn of 1989. Dutchman Jelle Nijdam won the prologue, but several of the Tour contenders, showing their form, were hot on his heels.

The Tour slowly made its way across Germany and moved into France when stage 5 ended in Strasbourg. The Yellow Jersey had already changed hands a few times as the sprinters enjoyed their stint in the Tour. The high speeds caused the large (209 starters) and nervous peloton to suffer repeated crashes. The Europeans blamed a lot of the crashes on the Colombians, whom the Euros considered poor bike handlers. At one point in stage 10, after a Belgian hit a Colombian in the head with a water bottle, a couple of other Colombians went after him and started a fight.

By the time of the stage 10 87.5-kilometer individual time trial from Saumur to Futuroscope, the first real test of the Tour, the only rider in the top 15 with any real hope for a high General Classification was Systeme U's Charly Mottet. The others had been riding quietly in the pack, trying to stay out of trouble while the big rouleurs and sprinters gained time bonuses that moved them up to the front of the leader's list. The time trial sorted things out. Roche won it with Mottet second at 42 seconds. That put Mottet in Yellow.

The General Classification at this point:

Stage 13 was the first day in the Pyrenees. The contenders stayed together all the way to Pau even with 4 highly rated climbs. The day was so hot the tar on the road melted. Worse, there was an attack on the descent of the second category Bargargui. The high speeds and hard braking in the corners melted the glue holding the tires to the rims. Some riders rolled the tires off their rims, others had their tires explode from the heat build-up, causing several crashes. The stage removed the non-climbers from the top of the roster of the General Classification:

Stage 14 with the Aubisque, the Marie-Blanque and a finish at Luz-Ardiden, caused no real change to the General Classification.

The Tour headed towards the Massif Central. Stage 18's individual time trial up Mount Ventoux promised to shake things up and it did not disappoint. Jean-François Bernard rode the ride of his life. Never before had he risen to such heights and never again would he perform at such an extraordinary level. Bernard won the stage and the Yellow Jersey. Look at some of the times of his competition to get an idea of how well the Frenchman rode the 36.9-kilometer time trial:

The General Classification situation:

It seemed so beautiful for Bernard, the chosen heir of Hinault and the great hope of French cycling. He had a good lead and was climbing and time trialing well. He turned out to be a far better rider than his opposition had supposed. He should have been able to keep the Yellow all the way to Paris. But fate knocked on the door. The next day was a mountainous stage and with the Tour a Wild West wide-open shootout, he was not going to be allowed to keep the lead without mounting a serious defense.

Near the top of the first real climb, Bernard flatted and was unable to get his bike serviced before the other racers had disappeared up the mountains.

Bernard's luck didn't get any better. Mottet and his Systeme U teammates had hatched a plan to attack Bernard in that day's feed zone. They packed extra food to carry them through the long day. For insurance, Mottet told Roche about the plan to make sure there would be enough horsepower to keep Bernard and his tough La Vie Claire team at bay. Mottet knew the area and saw that the feed zone was just after a very narrow bridge, which would really slow the peloton. Things happened exactly as Mottet predicted. Bernard, who had been chasing to get back on terms with the leaders after his flat tire was forced to a stop at one point when the peloton slowed upon reaching the bridge. Mottet, Delgado and Roche were already up the road and putting real time between themselves and the furiously chasing Bernard.

Bernard was never able to rejoin the leaders and came in 4 minutes, 16 seconds after Delgado and Roche. Roche was now in yellow with Mottet only 41 seconds behind and Delgado stalking him at 1 minute, 19 seconds. Delgado and Roche had dropped Mottet, who had planned the day's skullduggery in the first place.

But wait, this gets better.

Stage 20 was another tough alpine stage that finished with the first category Cote de Laffrey and the Hors Category L'Alpe d'Huez. The final climb up the Alpe had the riders coming in one at a time. Federico Echave won the stage. The first real General Classification rider to finish was Laurent Fignon who was finally starting to get his legs. Fignon rolled in sixth, 3 minutes, 25 seconds after Echave. Delgado was next, 20 seconds later. Roche was fifteenth that day at 5 minutes, 28 seconds. Delgado now took the Yellow and Roche was 25 seconds behind. Spain was so transfixed with the excitement of Delgado's struggle with Roche for the lead that the Spanish parliament suspended its deliberations so that the members could watch the stage.

The next day was finer still. The giant mountains kept coming at the riders like mosquitoes on a hot Louisiana night. Stage 21 went from Bourg d'Oisans up to La Plagne, 185.5 kilometers of pure effort. Along the way were the Galibier, the Madeleine and the final climb to La Plagne, all Hors Category climbs. Now Roche wasn't a climber, as he has said over and over in many interviews. He was like so many truly fine racers, capable of putting out so much power that he not only had absolute power to time-trial and ride the flats well, he possessed superb relative power, or as we usually say, a good strength to weight ratio. That ratio allowed him to handle the mountains well. Yet he knew the specialist climbers like Delgado could give him trouble on their own turf.

Fignon launched a hard attack and won the stage. But the real drama was Roche's story. In the November, 2003 Cycle Sport magazine he gave an interview about that fateful day:

"I had the Jersey at Villard-de-Lans [stage 19, won by Delgado]. But Delgado took it back from me the next day at the summit of L'Alpe d'Huez [stage 20, related just above]. I was not a climber like him. Between the descent of the Galibier and the foot of the Madeleine [stage 21, the stage we are discussing] I attacked because he was isolated. I passed him and rejoined the group ahead. Afterwards I climbed the Madeleine alone. Delgado and his teammates caught me again at the foot of La Plagne. I said to myself, 'What am I going to do? If I stay with him he'll kill me. I'll never get to the top.' I let him go and conceded 1'10", 1'15".

"But he didn't trust himself. And 4 kilometers from the line, I attacked at top speed. I gave it everything I had. And I got to within a few seconds of him. Psychologically, that was my most beautiful victory."

After his titanic effort to bring Delgado back, Roche collapsed at the finish and needed oxygen. He was taken to a hospital but was found to be perfectly fine.

The General Classification now, after Roche was penalized 10 seconds for taking an illegal feed:

The next day, the last one in the Alps finishing at Morzine, Roche was able to take another 18 seconds out of Delgado. The Spaniard was tiring. They were now only 21 seconds apart. Roche felt confident that his superior time-trialing abilities would give him the Yellow in the final time trial.

So it came down to the penultimate stage, a 38-kilometer time trial, the "race of truth" at Dijon. Bernard's results let us know that this would have been an even more interesting race, if that were even possible, if he had not had that unfortunate flat.

The stage results:

The Yellow Jersey was Roche's. And with only the final stage into Paris left, it was his to keep.

That last stage into Paris had a big surprise in store for the 7-Eleven team. Jeff Pierce won the stage in a solo victory with Steve Bauer only 1 second behind him.

In that same interview in Cycle Sport , Roche said some kind words that reflected well on both Roche and Delgado.

"The memory of the Tour de France that will stay with me all my life is when I retook the jersey in Dijon. I went through the ceremony and then on the Jacques Chancel TV program Delgado was already in the middle of doing his interview. I arrived on the set and Delgado got up. He embraced me. Chancel said to him 'Less than an hour ago he took the Yellow Jersey from you and now you embrace him?' Delgado replied, 'I have had 4,500 kilometers in which to win the jersey, and I couldn't do it.' It was beautiful when he said that."

This was a fantastic Tour with eight different men wearing the Yellow Jersey, a record.

The final 1987 Tour de France General Classification:

Climbers' Competition:

Points Competition:

That year Roche won the Giro, the Tour and went on to win the World Championship. Only one other rider in the history of the sport, Eddy Merckx, has been able to win all 3 in a single year.

Description

  • One of the most iconic and desirable of all 1950s GT Ferraris
  • The third of just five 250 GT LWB Berlinetta ‘Tour de France’ to be bodied by Zagato
  • The final of only three examples to feature the carrozzeria’s iconic “double-bubble” roof; the only “double-bubble” example with covered headlights
  • Finished 2nd in class and 6th overall at the 1957 Mille Miglia; the final “original” Mille Miglia
  • Ten podium finishes and five class victories in more than a dozen period races
  • Fully matching-numbers example containing its original engine, transmission, and rear axle
  • Pebble Beach award-winning restoration carried out to original specification
  • Offered publicly for the first time in almost 25 years, a truly landmark opportunity

Gazing at the flowing, muscular lines of the Zagato-bodied Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta ‘Tour de France’, it is easy to imagine the impression that this striking racer must have made shortly after it was completed in the spring of 1957. Pictured amid rolling countryside and twisting roads lined with poplars, you can almost hear the stillness of a summer haze punctured by the aggressive blip of an accelerator, a crisp downshift, and the mighty V-12 roar that follows as the throttle is pinned once more to the floor. Mouths would have dropped as the scarcely believable exotic flashed by, a blur of black, silver, and glinting brightwork that left behind only dust and the faint aroma of burning brakes and hot engine oil. With its sweeping lines, iconic double-bubble roof, faired-in headlamps, and two-tone paintwork, chassis 0665 GT must have looked like a visitor from another planet—one with no earthly business among the humdrum Fiat 500s and buzzing Piaggio Apes that characterized Italian roads of the 1950s.

But like so many of the most remarkable designs to emerge from Italy, this significant automobile was born not of the La Dolce Vita Tuscan idyll but of the industrial northern heartland that played host to the country’s most celebrated carrozzeria—specifically, Milan and the workshops of Zagato. Like Enzo Ferrari, the success of Ugo Zagato’s eponymous coachbuilder was tied to Alfa Romeo. During the decade that began with the founding of Scuderia Ferrari and ended with Enzo’s ascension to Sporting Director of Alfa Romeo, Zagato established itself as a coachbuilder of real substance, with early projects including the sublime competition-focussed 6C 1750 and 8C 2900. It was almost destined that the two great names would collaborate after Ferrari struck out on his own and, in 1949, Zagato transformed the 166 MM into a lightweight and sleek aerodynamic coupé—the first-ever closed Ferrari—dubbed the Panoramica.

In 1952, Ferrari launched its 250 platform, a remarkable series of gran turismos that spanned the breadth of road and race, almost entirely unified by their use of Gioacchino Colombo’s genius 2,953-cc V-12 engine. Among the most celebrated of these models was the 250 GT Berlinetta. Initially a boulevardier bodied by Pinin Farina, the model only found serious competition success following the launch of a more sporting Scaglietti-bodied variant at the 1956 Geneva Motor Show. The car quickly gained the ‘Tour de France’ moniker following Alfonso de Portago’s stunning victory in the 6,000-kilometer, seven-day French epic, which fired the starting pistol for the model’s most successful period in motorsport.

Some 77 examples of the 250 GT ‘Tour de France’ would be built, but none would be more special than a select group of five long-wheelbase cars designed and built by Carrozzeria Zagato. The collaboration resulted in arguably one of the most attractive cars to ever wear the Prancing Horse badge. But it was not just a beautiful machine—Zagato famously believed that coachwork should not only enhance aesthetics but also performance. Indeed, that the car was so breathtaking to behold was almost a happy accident, such was the focus on weight-saving and aerodynamic efficiency.

Chassis 0665 GT was just the third of the five Zagato-bodied cars to be built, the sixth Ferrari built with Zagato coachwork, and the final example of the initial trio to feature the firm’s iconic double-bubble roofline. It was also a more resolved design than the early cars, benefitting from covered headlamps astride a narrowed grille and a softened rear end, among myriad numerous smaller stylistic changes. While the design was informed and improved by the earlier cars, Zagato no doubt also benefitted from the insight of its first owner, Camillo Luglio, who had also commissioned chassis 0537 GT a year earlier. Said to have been close with Ugo Zagato, the gifted racer paid regular visits to Milan while the car was being bodied.

This special ‘Tour de France’ was ordered on behalf of Camillo Luglio by his wife, Mrs Cornelia Vassalli, and was built at Maranello between January and April 1957. It was registered in April of that year and was entered into the Giro di Sicilia by its new owner that same month, who finished an impressive 5th overall and 2nd in class. That outing proved a useful shakedown run for what would be the car’s greatest challenge: the 1957 Mille Miglia. Luglio partnered with Umberto Carli for the race, which took place less than a month after the car’s Giro success. It lined up on 11 May wearing #441 and an advertisement for Idriz, a company that specialized in effervescent digestive powders; the pairing is believed to be one of the earliest examples of motorsport sponsorship.

With the early retirement of Stirling Moss and his experimental 4.5-litre Maserati, the race became an all-Ferrari affair, with the Scuderia leading from start to finish and claiming eight out of the top 10 positions. Piero Taruffi proved the victor, closely followed by Wolfgang von Trips, with 3rd position taken by Belgian Olivier Gendebien in a Scaglietti-bodied “14 Louvre” ‘Tour de France’. Equally impressive was the performance of Camillo Luglio and chassis 0665 GT, who brought the spectacular Zagato-bodied Ferrari home a remarkable 6th overall and 2nd in class to Gendebien—an astounding result for a privateer in one of the most technical and grueling tests of endurance in motorsport. Luglio’s success marked the end of an era for the Mille Miglia, with 1957 becoming the event’s final year in its original thousand-mile flat-out road racing glory.

Following its impressive result at the Mille Miglia, chassis 0665 GT was entered into a number of races and hillclimbs throughout 1957. On 30 June, Luglio finished 6th overall and 1st in class at the Mont Ventoux Hillclimb, and on 13–14 July, the Italian paired with Francois Picard for the 12 Hours of Reims, finishing an impressive 5th overall. In the same month, Luglio finished 6th overall and 2nd in class at the Aosta-Gran San Bernardo Hillclimb. The car also took class wins at the Bruno & Fofi Vigorelli Trophy and the Coppa Constantini, and in September, Luglio finished 1st in class at the Coppa Inter-Europa at Monza. The year’s competition was concluded with an outright win at the Pontedecimo-Giovi Hillclimb on 29 September. Luglio entered the 250 GT into the 3 Hours of Pau in March 1958 but never took to the start line; instead, the Ferrari was sold to Vladimiro Galluzzi—former owner of the first Zagato-bodied ‘Tour de France’, 0515 GT—prior to being refurbished by Zagato and painted claret red the following month. Galluzzi immediately took 0665 GT back to the racetrack, racing in late April at the Coppa San Marino and then in May at the Mille Miglia Rally. Galluzzi achieved his first podium result with a 2nd at the Campiano/Vetta d’Enza race meeting in July, followed by a 3rd place at the Coppa Sant Ambroeus at Monza in November 1958.

In 1959, Galluzzi sold chassis 0665 GT to the Milanese Ferrari dealership Gastone Crepaldi, and it was then imported to the United States via broker Viviano Corradini before being sold to one J.C. Meade. Meade is believed to have raced the car just once before selling it to E. Marshall in 1967. By 1972, the car had passed to William H. Wright of Berks County, Pennsylvania. Later moving to Franklin, Tennessee, Wright began a restoration that was still unfinished when the car found a new home in Indiana with Richard Milburn in 1976. Milburn had greater success with the rebuild, displaying the rolling chassis at the 14th Ferrari Club of America Annual Meeting at Watkins Glen in June 1977; the restoration was completed late that year. Shortly after its completion, the car was sold to Ed Weschler of Wisconsin, who displayed the finished article at the 1978 Ferrari Club of America annual meeting at Road Atlanta. He, in turn, sold the car to Peter Kaus, and it was exported to Germany to join his famed Rosso Bianco Collection. The car remained a significant part of the collection until 1999, when it was acquired by a renowned US collector.

Upon its arrival in the US, the car was fully restored and painted metallic silver by the acclaimed Ferrari specialists at Wayne Obry’s Motion Products of Neenah, Wisconsin. Following the restoration, the car was selectively shown on the US concours circuit, including being displayed at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2004, the Cavallino Classic in 2005—where it won a Platinum Award—and the Amelia Island Concours in 2006. Subsequently, the car was restored to its 1957 Mille Miglia colour scheme of gunmetal grey with a contrasting silver roof and triumphantly won 1st in class at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, alon
