Tour de France 2021 - Stages, schedule, route map and key dates in the battle for yellow jersey
Updated 28/06/2021 at 11:44 GMT
A balanced route that leans slightly towards the general classification rider with a strong time trial, the 2021 Tour de France route is an intriguing prospect. There are as many as eight potential stages for the sprinters, as well as some epic climbing days – including a trip into the Alps in the first week, plus a double-ascent of Mont Ventoux to contend with.

The 2023 Tour de France has all the ingredients of a classic: two leading protagonists ready to tear lumps out of each other in reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard and the deposed Tadej Pogacar; entertaining multi-talented stage hunters Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel, Julian Alaphilippe and Tom Pidcock; the great Mark Cavendish chasing a historic 35th stage win; all facing a brutal route with 56,000m of climbing and four summit finish.
The Tour began in the Spanish Basque country on Saturday 1 July, where Adam Yates edged twin brother Simon to win the opening stage, and these hilly routes will throw open the yellow jersey to a wide range of contenders. The race crosses the French border for some flat stages and an early jaunt into the high Pyrenees, where the Col du Tourmalet awaits. The peloton takes on the Puy de Dome volcano on its journey across France towards the Jura Mountains and the Alps, and it is in the mountains that this Tour will ultimately be decided. It all ends on the Champs-Elysees in Paris on Sunday 23 July.
Here is a stage-by-stage guide to how the race will unfold.
Stage 1: Bilbao to Bilbao, 182km
The 2023 Tour de France starts outside Bilbao’s iconic Guggenheim Museum, and winds north to the Bay of Biscay coastline before returning to the city where the stage winner will take the yellow jersey. This 182km opening stage is a hilly route with 3,000m of climbing featuring five categorised ascents, of which the final two are sharp and testing: they are tough enough to shake off the dedicated sprinters and open up early glory for the best puncheurs – those riders with the legs to get over short climbs and the power to surge away on the other side.
The profile of this stage is a great choice by organisers as it could suit just about anyone, from the speed of Wout van Aert to the climbing strength Tom Pidcock or Simon Yates – even two-time champion Tadej Pogacar.

Stage 2: Vitoria Gastiez to Saint Sebastian, 209km
The peloton will head east from Bilbao, touching more picturesque Basque coastline before arriving at the finish in San Sebastian. At more than 200km this is the longest stage of the 2023 Tour and, with the sizeable Jaizkibel climb (8.1km, 5.3% average gradient) shortly before the finish, this is even more tough on the legs than the first day. Another puncheur with the climbing strength to get over the steeper hills can capitalise, like two-time world champion Julian Alaphilippe.

Stage 3: Amorebieta to Bayonne, 187km
Stage three starts in Spain and ends in France, and the finale in Bayonne is ripe for a bunch sprint. Mark Cavendish will get his first shot of this race at trying to win a historic 35th Tour de France stage, but he will be up against a stacked field including former QuickStep teammate Fabio Jakobsen and the awesome speed of Wout van Aert. It will be fascinating to get a first glimpse of how the power riders stack up.

Stage 4: Dax to Nogaro, 182km
Another flat day and an even faster finish in store on the Circuit Paul Armagnac, a race track in Nogaro. The 800m home straight will almost certainly tee up a showdown between the Tour’s serious fast men.
- Cavendish falls short as Philipsen wins crash-laden sprint
Stage 5: Pau to Laruns, 163km
The first major mountains of the Tour come a little earlier than usual, as the peloton heads up into the high Pyrenees on day five. The Col de Soudet (15km, 7.2%) is one of the toughest climbs of the race and rears up halfway through this 163km route from Pau to Laruns. The category one Col de Marie Blanque (7.7km, 8.6%) guards the finish 20km out, and holds bonus seconds for those first over the top to incentivise the major contenders to come to the fore and fight it out.
- Hindley grabs the yellow jersey as Vingegaard punishes Pogacar
Stage 6: Tarbes to Cauterets, 145km
This has the potential to be a thrilling day: the 145km route takes on the double trouble of the category one Col d’Aspin (12km, 6.5%) followed by the monstrous hors categorie Tourmalet (17.1km, 7.3%), before a fast ascent and a final climb to the summit finish at Cauterets (16km, 5.4%).
It is a day with several possible outcomes. The general classification contenders could fight it out in a showdown to the summit. Then again, a breakaway could be allowed to escape which would open up victory – and perhaps the yellow jersey – to an outsider. The last time the Tour finished in Cauterets in 2015, breakaway specialist Rafal Majka surged clear of his fellow escapers to win. Keep an eye on Ineos’s Tom Pidcock, who could use the long, fast descent from the Tourmalet summit to speed to the front, as he did before winning atop Alpe d’Huez last year.
- Pogacar responds to send message to Vingegaard
Stage 7: Mont de Marsan to Bordeaux, 170km
The first week of racing finishes in the Tour’s second most visited city, Bordeaux, and it’s a third flat day for the sprinters to contest. Much will depend on who has best preserved their legs through the high mountains when they come to this tight, technical finish on the banks of the Garonne river in the city centre.
- Philipsen pips Cavendish in thrilling finish to deny Brit all-time record
Stage 8: Libourne to Limoges, 201km
A long, hilly day will see the peloton head 201km east from Libourne outside Bordeaux to Limoges. The lumpy stage should suit a puncheur but it is not a particularly taxing set of climbs – only three are categorised and the toughest of those is just 2.8km at 5.2%. So could a determined team carry their sprinter to the finish and the stage win? Look out for Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel, superstars with the all-round talent to conquer the climbs and still finish fast.
- Cavendish crashes out to end Tour de France record hopes
Stage 9: Saint-Leonard-de-Noblat to Puy de Dome, 184km
The final stage before the relief of the first rest day is relatively flat and gentle – until a brutal finish atop the iconic Puy de Dome volcano, a 13.3km drag at a gruelling 7.7% average gradient that last appeared in the Tour in 1988. The summit finish will require a serious climber’s legs to clinch the stage win, and the general classification contenders may well let a breakaway get ahead and fight for that prize.
- Woods takes win as Pogacar hits back at Vingegaard
Rest day: Clermont-Ferrand, Monday 10 July.
Stage 10: Parc Vulcania to Issoire, 167km
The race resumes in the centre of France from Vulcania – a volcano-themed amusement park – where riders will embark on a hilly 167km route through the Volcans d’Auvergne regional park, finishing down in the small town of Issiore. With five categorised climbs, including the sizeable Col de Guery (7.8km at 5%) and the Croix Saint-Robert (6km at 6.3%), it will be a draining ride with virtually no sustained flat sections, and a long descent to the finish town. It looks like a good day to plot something in the breakaway, as the big GC contenders save their legs for bigger challenges to come.
- Bilbao dedicates emotional stage win to late Gino Mader
Stage 11: Clermont Ferrand to Moulins, 180km
The final flat stage before the hard Alpine climbs will present an opportunity for those fast men who managed to haul themselves through the Pyrenees to get here – although there is still some climbing to be done including three category-four leg-sappers along the 180km route. The day begins in the university city of Clermont-Ferrand before the riders wind north and then east to Moulins, a small town on the Allier river. Any breakaway is likely to be reeled by those teams with dedicated sprinters eyeing their only opportunity for a stage win between the two rest days.
- Philipsen continues flat-stage dominance even without van der Poel
Stage 12: Roanne to Belleville-en-Beaujolais, 169km
The race caravan will shift east to start stage 12 in Roanne in the Loire region, before taking a 169km route to Belleville, situated on the Saone river north of Lyon. This has been categorised as a hilly or medium mountain stage, but it might feel harder than that by the time the peloton reaches the foot of the fifth categorised climb of the day, the Col de la Croix Rosier (5.3km at 7.6%). That should be enough to put off the best puncheurs like Van der Poel and Van Aert, because the stage winner will need strong climbing legs. The GC riders will want to conserve energy, so expect a breakaway to stay clear and fight amongst themselves.
- Izagirre solos to victory
Stage 13: Chatillon-Sur-Chalaronne to Grand Colombier, 138km
The first of three brutal stages that could decide the destiny of this year’s yellow jersey is only relatively short – 138km – but will provide a stern enough test to reveal any weaknesses in the major contenders. The peloton will enjoy a relatively flat and gentle first 75km from Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne before entering the Jura Mountains. A short climb and fast descent precedes the big climax: all 17.4km (7.1%) of the Grand Colombier providing an epic summit finish. This could be another day for a breakaway away to get free, but the overall contenders like Pogacar and Vingegaard will also fancy stage glory and the chance to stamp their authority on the race.
- Kwiatkowski wins as Pogacar eats into Vingegaard’s lead
Stage 14: Annemasse to Morzine, 152km
Part two of this triple header of mountain stages sees the peloton ride into the Alps with a 152km route from Annemasse to Morzine ski resort. Three tough category one climbs line the road to the hors categorie Col de Joux Plane (11.6km at 8.5%), a brutally steep grind where bonuses await the first few over the top – and stage victory is the prize at the bottom. This is another potential spot for yellow jersey fireworks.
- Rodriguez wins first Tour stage as Pogacar thwarted by motorbike
Stage 15: Les Gets to Saint Gervais, 180km
The last ride before the final rest day will take the peloton further east into the Alps, towards the French border with Italy. The 179km route is almost constantly up and down, with a fast descent before the final two climbs, and the summit finish atop Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc will require strong climbing legs once more.
- Pogacar and Vingegaard in stalemate as Poels wins stage
Rest day: Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, Monday 17 July.
Stage 16: Individual time trial from Passy to Combloux, 22km
This year’s home stretch begins with the only time trial of the race: a short, relatively flat 22km from Passy to Combloux in the shadow of Mont Blanc. The route includes one categorised climb, the steep but short Cote de Domancy (2.5km at 9.4%). There is an opportunity here to make up crucial seconds for those that need them.
- Vingegaard takes control of yellow jersey
Stage 17: Saint Gervais to Courchevel, 166km
Put Wednesday 19 July in the diary: this will surely be the most brutal day of the entire Tour de France and it could be decisive. The 166km route features four big climbs, the last of which offers up this year’s Souvenir Henri Desgrange for the first rider over the highest point of the race. To get there the riders must endure a 28.1km slog averaging 6% gradient to the top of the Col de la Loze, towering in the clouds 2,304m above sea level. There are bonus seconds up here too, before a short descent down to the finish at Courchevel.
A breakaway will probably form, but can they last the distance? Whatever happens up the road, the fight for the yellow jersey will be fierce – only the strongest handful of riders will be able to stand the pace and this will likely be the day that the 2023 winner is effectively crowned.
- Vingegaard dominates to put seal on Tour de France
Stage 18: Moutiers to Bourg en Bresse, 186km
After a potentially explosive stage 17, stage 18 is classified as “hilly” but is really a relatively sedate 185km which the sprinters are likely to contest if their teams can haul in the inevitable breakaway. The big question is whether there will be many sprinters left in the peloton after such a demanding set of stages in the Alps. For those fast men still in the race, the descent into Bourg-en-Bresse precedes a technical finish, with roundabouts and a sharp corner before a swinging right-hand turn on to the home straight where the stage will be won and lost.
- Breakaway stays away as Asgreen takes win
Stage 19: Moirans-en-Montagne to Poligny, 173km
Another flat day gives a further opportunity for those sprinters left in the field, as the peloton travels 173km from Moirans, near Grenoble, north to Poligny. The general classification contenders will be happy to rest their legs before one final push to Paris.
- Matej Mohoric takes photo finish to win stage 19
Stage 20: Belfort to Le Markstein, 133km
The final competitive stage of the Tour is a 133km ride from Belfort to Le Markstein ski resort in the Vosges mountains, and it offers just enough for one final attack to steal the yellow jersey, should the overall win still be on the line. The last two climbs of the day are both steep category one ascents: first the Petit Ballon (9.3km, 8.1%) followed by the Col du Platzerwasel (7.1km at 8.4%). Whoever is wearing yellow just needs to hang on to the wheel of their fiercest rival here, and that should be enough to see them home.
- Chapeau, Thibaut Pinot
Stage 21: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to Paris Champs-Elysees, 115km
As is tradition, the peloton will transfer to Paris and ride a truce to the Champs-Elysees. The stage will start at France’s national velodrome, home of cycling for the 2024 Paris Olympics. It will finish with one final sprint: Cavendish has won four times in Paris and it would be a fitting way to end the race that has defined his career if he were to repeat the feat one last time. And once the race is done, the winner of the 2023 Tour de France will be crowned.

2023 tour de france grand depart map.
Note that all maps and stage profiles are also available from the official website . Stage timings are also provided there.
Stage 1: Saturday, July 1 – Bilbao to Bilbao, 182km
For the first time in a few years, the Tour de France starts with a full stage, rather than a time trial – and it isn't an easy introduction to the Tour.
Bilbao is the host for this 185km loop ride that takes in a good 3300m of climbing. There are five climbs with points up for grabs straight away in the polka dot contest. The climbs on the route are the Côte de Pike – just 10km from the finish – plus the Côte de Laukiz , the Côte de San Juan de Gaztelugatxe , the Côte de Morga and the Côte de Vivero .
Stage 2: Sunday, July 2 – Vitoria-Gasteiz to San Sebastian, 209km
The opening stages are a whistle-stop tour of the jewels of the Basque region. From Bilbao on day one we go to the popular seaside resort of San Sebastian. The day may end on the coast but it's not a flat ride: there are 5 climbs on stage 2.
Stage 3: Monday, July 3 – Amorebieta-Etxano to Bayonne, 185km
We know the stage starts in Amorebienta-Etxano and heads back across the border into France .
Stage 4: Tuesday , July 4 - Dax to Nogaro Circuit, 182km
Potentially another day for the sprinters as they go head-to-head on the Nogaro circuit.
Stage 5: Wednesday, July 5 - Pau to Laruns, 165km
It wouldn't be the Tour de France without Pau on the map – today is also the first mountain stage.
Stage 6: Thursday, July 6 - Tarbes to Cauterets, 145km
Say hello to the Aspin and Tourmalet, part of 3750 metres of climbing.
Stage 7: Friday, July 7 - Mont de Marsan to Bordeaux, 170km
The Tour visits Bordeaux for the 82nd time – until recent times, it was one of the regular Tour towns. This is the first visit in more than 10 years, though. It'll be a sprint finish along the riverfront, ending at Place des Quinconces.
Stage 8: Saturday, July 8 - Libourne to Limoges, 201km
The sprinters capable of powering up a short but difficult climb could take the win.
Stage 9: Sunday, July 9 - Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat to Puy de Dôme, 184km
An icon returns.

Tour de France 2023 stage-by-stage guide: Route maps and profiles for all 21 days
The 2023 Tour de France has all the ingredients of a classic: two leading protagonists ready to tear lumps out of each other in reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard and the deposed Tadej Pogacar; entertaining multi-talented stage hunters Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel, Julian Alaphilippe and Tom Pidcock; the great Mark Cavendish chasing a historic 35th stage win; all facing a brutal route with 56,000m of climbing and four summit finishes.
The Tour begins in the Spanish Basque country on Saturday 1 July, and these hilly routes will throw open the yellow jersey to a wide range of contenders. The race crosses the French border for some flat stages and an early jaunt into the high Pyrenees, where the Col du Tourmalet awaits. The peloton takes on the Puy de Dome volcano on its journey across France towards the Jura Mountains and the Alps, and it is in the mountains that this Tour will ultimately be decided. It all ends on the Champs-Elysees in Paris on Sunday 23 July.
Here is a stage-by-stage guide to how the race will unfold.
Stage 1: Bilbao to Bilbao, 182km
The 2023 Tour de France starts outside Bilbao’s iconic Guggenheim Museum, and winds north to the Bay of Biscay coastline before returning to the city where the stage winner will take the yellow jersey. This 182km opening stage is a hilly route with 3,000m of climbing featuring five categorised ascents, of which the final two are sharp and testing: they are tough enough to shake off the dedicated sprinters and open up early glory for the best puncheurs – those riders with the legs to get over short climbs and the power to surge away on the other side.
The profile of this stage is a great choice by organisers as it could suit just about anyone, from the speed of Wout van Aert to the climbing strength Tom Pidcock or Simon Yates – even two-time champion Tadej Pogacar.
Stage 2: Vitoria Gastiez to Saint Sebastian, 209km
The peloton will head east from Bilbao, touching more picturesque Basque coastline before arriving at the finish in San Sebastian. At more than 200km this is the longest stage of the 2023 Tour and, with the sizeable Jaizkibel climb (8.1km, 5.3% average gradient) shortly before the finish, this is even more tough on the legs than the first day. Another puncheur with the climbing strength to get over the steeper hills can capitalise, like two-time world champion Julian Alaphilippe.
Stage 3: Amorebieta to Bayonne, 187km
Stage three starts in Spain and ends in France, and the finale in Bayonne is ripe for a bunch sprint. Mark Cavendish will get his first shot of this race at trying to win a historic 35th Tour de France stage, but he will be up against a stacked field including former QuickStep teammate Fabio Jakobsen and the awesome speed of Wout van Aert. It will be fascinating to get a first glimpse of how the power riders stack up.
Stage 4: Dax to Nogaro, 182km
Another flat day and an even faster finish in store on the Circuit Paul Armagnac, a race track in Nogaro. The 800m home straight will almost certainly tee up a showdown between the Tour’s serious fast men.
Stage 5: Pau to Laruns, 163km
The first major mountains of the Tour come a little earlier than usual, as the peloton heads up into the high Pyrenees on day five. The Col de Soudet (15km, 7.2%) is one of the toughest climbs of the race and rears up halfway through this 163km route from Pau to Laruns. The category one Col de Marie Blanque (7.7km, 8.6%) guards the finish 20km out, and holds bonus seconds for those first over the top to incentivise the major contenders to come to the fore and fight it out.
Stage 6: Tarbes to Cauterets, 145km
This has the potential to be a thrilling day: the 145km route takes on the double trouble of the category one Col d’Aspin (12km, 6.5%) followed by the monstrous hors categorie Tourmalet (17.1km, 7.3%), before a fast ascent and a final climb to the summit finish at Cauterets (16km, 5.4%).
It is a day with several possible outcomes. If the yellow jersey is on the shoulders of a fast puncheur at the start then it may well be transferred to one of the general classification contenders by the end, should they decide to fight for the stage win. Then again, a breakaway could be allowed to escape which would open up victory – and perhaps the yellow jersey – to an outsider. The last time the Tour finished in Cauterets in 2015, breakaway specialist Rafal Majka surged clear of his fellow escapers to win. Keep an eye on Ineos’s Tom Pidcock, who could use the long, fast descent from the Tourmalet summit to speed to the front, as he did before winning atop Alpe d’Huez last year.
Stage 7: Mont de Marsan to Bordeaux, 170km
The first week of racing finishes in the Tour’s second most visited city, Bordeaux, and it’s a third flat day for the sprinters to contest. Much will depend on who has best preserved their legs through the high mountains when they come to this tight, technical finish on the banks of the Garonne river in the city centre.
Stage 8: Libourne to Limoges, 201km
A long, hilly day will see the peloton head 201km east from Libourne outside Bordeaux to Limoges. The lumpy stage should suit a puncheur but it is not a particularly taxing set of climbs – only three are categorised and the toughest of those is just 2.8km at 5.2%. So could a determined team carry their sprinter to the finish and the stage win? Look out for Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel, superstars with the all-round talent to conquer the climbs and still finish fast.
Stage 9: Saint-Leonard-de-Noblat to Puy de Dome, 184km
The final stage before the relief of the first rest day is relatively flat and gentle – until a brutal finish atop the iconic Puy de Dome volcano, a 13.3km drag at a gruelling 7.7% average gradient that last appeared in the Tour in 1988. The summit finish will require a serious climber’s legs to clinch the stage win, and the general classification contenders may well let a breakaway get ahead and fight for that prize.
Rest day: Clermont-Ferrand, Monday 10 July.
Stage 10: Parc Vulcania to Issoire, 167km
The race resumes in the centre of France from Vulcania – a volcano-themed amusement park – where riders will embark on a hilly 167km route through the Volcans d’Auvergne regional park, finishing down in the small town of Issiore. With five categorised climbs, including the sizeable Col de Guery (7.8km at 5%) and the Croix Saint-Robert (6km at 6.3%), it will be a draining ride with virtually no sustained flat sections, and a long descent to the finish town. It looks like a good day to plot something in the breakaway, as the big GC contenders save their legs for bigger challenges to come.
Stage 11: Clermont Ferrand to Moulins, 180km
The final flat stage before the hard Alpine climbs will present an opportunity for those fast men who managed to haul themselves through the Pyrenees to get here – although there is still some climbing to be done including three category-four leg-sappers along the 180km route. The day begins in the university city of Clermont-Ferrand before the riders wind north and then east to Moulins, a small town on the Allier river. Any breakaway is likely to be reeled by those teams with dedicated sprinters eyeing their only opportunity for a stage win between the two rest days.
Stage 12: Roanne to Belleville-en-Beaujolais, 169km
The race caravan will shift east to start stage 12 in Roanne in the Loire region, before taking a 169km route to Belleville, situated on the Saone river north of Lyon. This has been categorised as a hilly or medium mountain stage, but it might feel harder than that by the time the peloton reaches the foot of the fifth categorised climb of the day, the Col de la Croix Rosier (5.3km at 7.6%). That should be enough to put off the best puncheurs like Van der Poel and Van Aert, because the stage winner will need strong climbing legs. The GC riders will want to conserve energy, so expect a breakaway to stay clear and fight amongst themselves.
Stage 13: Chatillon-Sur-Chalaronne to Grand Colombier, 138km
The first of three brutal stages that could decide the destiny of this year’s yellow jersey is only relatively short – 138km – but will provide a stern enough test to reveal any weaknesses in the major contenders. The peloton will enjoy a relatively flat and gentle first 75km from Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne before entering the Jura Mountains. A short climb and fast descent precedes the big climax: all 17.4km (7.1%) of the Grand Colombier providing an epic summit finish. This could be another day for a breakaway away to get free, but the overall contenders like Pogacar and Vingegaard will also fancy stage glory and the chance to stamp their authority on the race.
Stage 14: Annemasse to Morzine, 152km
Part two of this triple header of mountain stages sees the peloton ride into the Alps with a 152km route from Annemasse to Morzine ski resort. Three tough category one climbs line the road to the hors categorie Col de Joux Plane (11.6km at 8.5%), a brutally steep grind where bonus seconds await the first few over the top – and stage victory is the prize at the bottom. This is another potential spot for yellow jersey fireworks.
Stage 15: Les Gets to Saint Gervais, 180km
The last ride before the final rest day will take the peloton further east into the Alps, towards the French border with Italy . The 179km day is almost constantly up and down, with a fast descent before the final two climbs, and the summit finish atop Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc will require strong climbing legs once more.
Rest day: Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, Monday 17 July.
Stage 16: Individual time trial from Passy to Combloux, 22km
This year’s home stretch begins with the only time trial of the race: a short, relatively flat 22km from Passy to Combloux in the shadow of Mont Blanc. The route includes one categorised climb, the steep but short Cote de Domancy (2.5km at 9.4%). This stage is unlikely to decide the yellow jersey or podium spots, but there is an opportunity here to make up crucial seconds for those that need them.
Stage 17: Saint Gervais to Courchevel, 166km
Put Wednesday 19 July in the diary: this will surely be the most brutal day of the entire Tour de France and it could be decisive. The 166km route features four big climbs, the last of which offers up this year’s Souvenir Henri Desgrange for the first rider over the highest point of the race. To get there the riders must endure a 28.1km slog averaging 6% gradient to the top of the Col de la Loze, towering in the clouds 2,304m above sea level. There are bonus points seconds up here too, before a short descent down to the finish at Courchevel.
A breakaway will probably form, but can they last the distance? Whatever happens up the road, the fight for the yellow jersey will be fierce – only the strongest handful of riders will be able to stand the pace and this will likely be the day that the 2023 winner is effectively crowned.
Stage 18: Moutiers to Bourg en Bresse, 186km
After a potentially explosive stage 17, stage 18 is classified as “hilly” but is really a relatively sedate 185km which the sprinters are likely to contest if their teams can haul in the inevitable breakaway. The big question is whether there will be many sprinters left in the peloton after such a demanding set of stages in the Alps. For those fast men still in the race, the descent into Bourg-en-Bresse precedes a technical finish, with roundabouts and a sharp corner before a swinging right-hand turn on to the home straight where the stage will be won and lost.
Stage 19: Moirans-en-Montagne to Poligny, 173km
Another flat day gives a further opportunity for those sprinters left in the field, as the peloton travels 173km from Moirans, near Grenoble, north to Poligny. The general classification contenders will be happy to rest their legs before one final push to Paris.
Stage 20: Belfort to Le Markstein, 133km
The final competitive stage of the Tour is a 133km ride from Belfort to Le Markstein ski resort in the Vosges mountains, and it offers just enough for one final attack to steal the yellow jersey, should the overall win still be on the line. The last two climbs of the day are both steep category one ascents: first the Petit Ballon (9.3km, 8.1%) followed by the Col du Platzerwasel (7.1km at 8.4%). Whoever is wearing yellow just needs to hang on to the wheel of their fiercest rival here, and that should be enough to see them home.
Stage 21: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to Paris Champs-Elysees, 115km
As is tradition, the peloton will transfer to Paris and ride a truce to the Champs-Elysees. The stage will start at France’s national velodrome, home of cycling for the 2024 Paris Olympics. It will finish with one final sprint: Cavendish has won four times in Paris and it would be a fitting way to end the race that has defined his career if he were to repeat the feat one last time. And once the race is done, the winner of the 2023 Tour de France will be crowned.

The Tour de France 2023 route in Google Earth
Thanks for all your work over the years! Really enjoy it to have all the race routes available in Google Earth.
Thank you very much for this. I am looking forward to it every year.
I was looking forward to open the kmz-file in Google Earth, but in a full hour of trying to download it, I din't succeed, nor by clicking the link nor by copy-pasting the url in a new window. I'll try again later.
I created a public iCal calendar based on this website and links to all stages. https://short.thover.com/?ID=863
Thanks again, Thomas! Like the others, each year I look forward to downloading the KMZ file.
Downloading the kmz file doesn't work, neither does the alternative link

New Strava Features Coming Soon: AI Coaching, Safer Night Heat Maps, and More
Last week, Los Angeles hosted Camp Strava 2024 , a pivotal gathering of Strava executives and industry leaders. The event was devoted to unveiling Strava’s future direction, highlighting its most anticipated new features and its impact on the athletic community.
This year’s event focused on the theme of progress, the power of connection, the importance of innovative training methods, and the endless possibilities of exploring the world around us.
" We are focused on two fundamental shifts to accelerate how we deliver value to 125 million people globally - building for women and leveraging Artificial Intelligence - which will unlock new community-and-partner-powered experiences across the platform, " said Michael Martin, CEO of Strava .
I attended the 2-day event to bring back the newest innovations from the leading endurance athlete’s social media platform. A primary focus was on enhancing the Strava experience for women, with special guest appearances and panels featuring some of the most prominent female endurance athletes. The discussions centered around making sport and Strava safer and more inclusive for women.
Unsurprisingly, another significant topic was AI and how Strava can leverage machine learning to enhance user experience. With these two themes in mind, here are the upcoming features that excited me the most.
Strava announced the launch of one of its most requested features: Dark Mode. This new feature will enhance the in-app experience for all users by reducing eye strain and improving accessibility while recording activities or browsing the feed.
Athletes can look forward to a rollout later this summer, with options to keep mobile settings always dark, always light, or synchronized with device settings. Dark mode will be available on paid and free subscriptions.
Strava Athlete Intelligence
One of the most exciting and promising features coming this fall is Strava’s beta launch of an AI-powered tool. This feature transforms your training data into easily digestible summaries, providing context for your accomplishments and fitness goals. After every run or ride, Strava Athlete Intelligence will summarize each step you take, making it easier for you to interpret the data and understand your performance.
As a conference attendee, I’ve gained access to the early Athlete Intelligence beta testing. Strava Athlete Intelligence currently provides retrospective feedback, offering valuable insights on completed runs. While this information does help some in planning future training, the true potential of AI lies in analyzing past data and giving future recommendations to optimize performance.
However, after speaking with several Strava executives, such forward-looking capabilities seem some distance away. While I found the amount of information it currently offers is relatively limited, I’m eager to see its future developments. Athlete Intelligence will be available on paid subscriptions only.
Night Heat Maps
Designed with safety in mind, Night Heat Maps are a valuable tool for women who prefer to run during the dark hours. These maps allow you to easily toggle between daytime and nighttime heat maps, providing insights into the community’s preferred routes during these times.
The Night Heat Map only looks at the activities that are logged between sundown and sunrise. This offers women a quick and reliable way to identify more visible and safer routes. Night Heat Maps will be available on paid subscriptions only.
Weekly Heat Maps
Instead of using all the past data about a route, regardless of date or time, Weekly Meat Maps will provide you with up-to-date information about activities and certain routes people are going on. Because it uses real-time information, you'll always know if that trail you want to run is open or closed, no matter the season or how busy it may be.
One of the most valuable applications I can imagine for this is quickly knowing if that high-altitude trail is snow-free based on others who have run it. Weekly Heat Maps will be available on paid subscriptions only.
To empower women with the freedom to choose and maintain privacy over their shared information, Quick Edit allows users to modify the most common details of each activity easily. With Quick Edit, you can choose to hide certain information, such as your map, start and finishing times, and health-related data, such as heart rate, all from a single screen. Quick Edit will be available on paid and free subscriptions.
Upgraded Club Pages
Previously, creating and editing a club was only possible through the web. With the upgraded club pages, you can create and edit your club directly through the app. This upgraded club experience also includes the ability to direct message other club members, allowing members to share routes, make plans, and have one-on-one conversations.
Furthermore, clubs can initiate threads on specific topics, fostering dedicated conversations about things such as weekly workout schedules or nutrition advice. Additionally, clubs can now create challenges exclusively for its members, enhancing motivation within the community. Upgraded Club Pages will be available on paid and free subscriptions.
Strava Family Plans
With a family plan subscription , you and up to three family members and friends can be on the same subscription plan. This means you can include your immediate family, a close-knit group of friends, or even your workout buddies.
