Saturday 22 July: Stage 20 - Belfort - Le Markstein Fellering, medium mountains, 133.5 km

Despite failing to regain the yellow jersey he won in 2020 and 2021, Tadej Pogacar  ended his Tour de France on a high note.

In his last Tour de France mountain stage before retirement, home favourite Thibaut Pinot went on a solo attack to the delight of the French fans.

But the climbing specialist was unable to stay in front with first Tom Pidcock and Warren Barguil catching him before Pogacar made his bid to bridge the gap.

Overall race leader Jonas Vingegaard covered the move with Felix Gall , and the three forged clear on the closing Col du Platzerwase climb.

As things became tactical at the front, the Yates brothers - Adam and Simon - made it a lead group of five.

Vingegaard made his bid for the stage win with 250m to go, but Pogacar was too strong this time with the Dane losing second to Gall on the line.

Pinot received a hero's welcome as he crossed the line in seventh place.

Matej Mohoric denied Kasper Asgreen a second consecutive win at the 2023 Tour de France after a thrilling photo-finish sprint in Poligny.

The two riders emerged from a three-man breakaway and outsprinted Australia's Ben O'Connor, with Mohoric narrowly beating Asgreen to the finish line.

Throughout the 172.8km stage, there were numerous fragmented attacks across the field, leading to an intense pursuit among different breakaway groups in the final 20km.

Overall leader Jonas Vingegaard finished with the main peloton and kept his seven-and-a-half-minute lead on Tadej Pogacar in the general classification (GC) with just two stages remaining

Thursday 20 July: Stage 18 - Moûtiers - Bourg-en-Bresse, flat, 184.9 km

Kasper Asgreen surprised the sprinters and claimed stage 18 of the Tour de France after a long day in the breakaway.

Following several mountain stages in the Alps, a flatter stage awaited the peloton on Thursday. A breakaway of four rider with Kasper Asgreen , Jonas Abrahamsen , Victor Campenaerts, and later Pascal Eenkhoorn managed to just stay clear of the sprinters that were breathing down their necks on the finish line.

Asgreen of Denmark proved to be the fastest of the riders in the breakaway, and he secured his team Soudal Quick Step their first stage win of this year’s Tour de France.

Jonas VIngegaard held on to the leader's yellow jersey and maintains his 7:35 advantage to Tadej Pogacar .

Wednesday 19 July: Stage 17 - Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc - Courchevel, high mountains, 165.7 km

Felix Gall claimed a dramatic queen stage of the Tour de France 2023, where Jonas Vingegaard cracked Tadej Pogacar to gain more than five and a half minutes on the Slovenian. The Dane is now seven minutes and 35 seconds clear in the overall lead, and looks very likely to win his second consecutive Tour de France.

The stage winner Gall attacked his breakaway companions with six kilometres remaining of the final climb Col de la Loze. Simon Yates tried to chase down Gall, but the AG2R Citroën Team rider managed to maintain a small gap to the Brit, and he crossed the finish line solo.

The general classification leader Vingegaard dropped Pogacar 7.5 kilometres from the summit of Col de la Loze, and while the Slovenian tried to limit his losses, last year’s winner did what he could to gain as much time as possible. His lead seems unassailable with four stages remaining.

Sunday 16 July: Stage 15 - Les Gets les Portes du Soleil - Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, mountain stage, 179 km

Wout Poels took the first Tour de France stage win of his career, as he crossed the finish line alone at Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc on stage 15.

The 2016 Liège-Bastogne-Liège winner dropped his breakaway companions Wout van Aert and Marc Soler 11 kilometres from the finish and managed to maintain his advantage.

Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar fought another alpine duel, but neither rider could get the better of the other, and they crossed the finish line together.

The yellow leader’s jersey therefore remains with Vingegaard. His advantage to Tadej Pogacar is 10 seconds.

Tuesday 11 July: Stage 10 - Vulcania - Issoire, medium mountains, 167.2km

Pello Bilbao of Bahrain-Victorious claimed the first Spanish Tour de France stage win in five years as he outsprinted his breakaway companions in a thriliing finale on stage 10.

Prior to the sprint finish, Krists Neilands of Israel-Premier Tech was caught just three kilometres from the finish line after the Latvian tried to go solo 30 kilometres earlier.

Several riders from the breakaway attacked in the final, where Bilbao broke free with Georg Zimmermann of Intermarché-Circus-Wanty. Ben O'Connor of AG2R Citroën Team managed to bridge accross right before Bilbao launched his sprint.

Neither Zimmerman nor O’Connor could respond, and the 33-year-old Spaniard could take his first-ever Tour de France stage win. A victory he dedicated to his former teammate Gino Mäder, who tragically lost his life last month after a crash at the Tour de Suisse.

In the general classification, Jonas Vingegaard crossed the finish line alongside the other favourites, and he retains his 17-second advantage over Tadej Pogacar in second place. Bilbao advanced from 11 th to fifth position in the overall standings.

Sunday 9 July: Stage 9 - Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat - Puy de Dôme, 182.4km

The iconic finish at Puy de Dôme , a 13.3 km stretch at 7.7% average gradient, returned to the race for the first time since 1988.

The stage was forecast to be a battle between overall leader Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar but it turned into a heartbreaking loss for Matteo Jorgenson. The U.S. rider who was stung by a wasp and needed to be attended to by the race doctor with 72km to go, produced a brave 50km solo effort and was caught 450m from the finish by Canada's Michael Woods.

Meanwhile, Pogacar gained eight seconds on Vingegaard.

Saturday 8 July: Stage 8 - Libourne - Limoges, hilly, 200.7km

Mads Pederson held off triple stage winner Jasper Philipsen and Wout van Aert to clinch stage eight of the Tour de France in 4:12:26.

Van Aert had looked to be in a position to take the stage but was forced to apply the brakes after getting blocked by his own Jumbo-Visma teammate Christophe Laporte . The Belgian was able to recover to catch third.

Earlier in the race, joint record holder for stage wins Mark Cavendish was forced to abandon his 14th and expected last Tour after he was caught in a crash with 63km to go.

The Manx Missile appeared to have injured his shoulder after a touch of wheels in the peloton forced him off his bike and onto the tarmac.

It's been a heartbreaking 24 hours for Cavendish who was denied a record win yesterday (Friday) after suffering a mechanical issue in his sprint showdown with Philipsen.

In the GC, Jonas Vingegaard retained the yellow jersey, while Great Britain's Simon Yates slid two places into sixth following his crash with just 5km of the race left to go.

Friday 7 July: Stage 7 - Mont-de-Marsan - Bordeaux, flat, 169.9km

Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck got his hat-trick, as he claimed his third sprint victory on stage 7 of the 2023 Tour de France.

The points classification leader won ahead of Mark Cavendish of Astana Qazaqstan Team and Biniam Girmay of Intermarché - Circus - Wanty.

A breakaway tried to challenge the peloton for the stage win, but it was inevitable that the sprinters were going to battle it out in the end.

The GC favourites, including Jonas Vingegaard , crossed the finish line in the peloton, and the Jumbo-Visma rider retained the yellow leader’s jersey.

Thursday 6 July: Stage 6 - Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque, high mountains, 144.9km

Tadej Pogacar of UAE Emirates won the mountainous stage 6 in the Pyrenees ahead of reigning Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard , who took over the leader’s jersey.

The first part of the stage was dominated by Jumbo-Visma and Vingegaard, who put pressure on the penultimate climb Col du Tourmalet. First, overnight leader Jai Hindley  was dropped by the pace of Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma).

Shortly after, Vingegaard attacked on climb, and only Pogacar could follow. The Dane’s teammate Wout van Aert got into the early breakaway and was waiting on the descent to pilot his captain into the final kilometres of the last climb - Cauterets-Cambasque.

Defending champion Vingegaard attacked again on the final climb with 4.5 kilomtres to the finish, but Pogacar stayed in his wheel. Two kilometres later, the Slovenian opened up a gap to the Dane. The two-time Tour de France winner managed to stay and claim his tenth Tour de France stage win.

In the GC, Vingegaard now leads by 25 seconds to Tadej Pogacar in second place.

Wednesday 5 July: Stage 5 - Pau to Laruns, high mountains, 162.7km

General Classification podium contender Jai Hindley of BORA-Hansgrohe claimed the first mountain stage of the 2023 Tour de France. He also took over the leader’s yellow jersey from Adam Yates . Australian rider Hindley had sneaked into a big breakaway, where he attacked on the last categorised climb, Col de Marie Blanc. Hindley managed to maintain a gap to the GC favourites to take his first ever Tour de France stage.

Behind the stage winner, reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard had dropped two-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar and others on the last steep climb, and the Dane started the final descent with a 40-second advantage to the Slovenian.

Vingegaard crossed the finish line in fifth place, 34 seconds behind Hindley but gained more than a minute on his biggest rival for the overall win, Pogacar. Last year’s winner moves up to second place in the GC, 47 seconds behind Hindley, who was awarded 18 bonus second on the stage. Pogacar is in sixth place, 1:40 behind the leader’s jersey.

A few crashes on the final kilomtres did not change anything among the GC favourites. Adam Yates crossed the finish line within the peloton, and the UAE Emirates rider retained the yellow leader's jersey.

  • 14 Jul 2023 Preamble

Michal Kwiatkowski celebrates as he crosses the finish line on the Grand Colombier.

115km to go: That previous group of six was shut down. Now it’s Pacher, Van Gils, Oliveira and Teunissen out front, a group of four, and they have 13sec.

117km to go: One of the sports directors comes on the radio, saying that UAE Team Emirates have let it be known that they want to control the race today and go for the stage win. On commentary, Sean Kelly and Robbie McEwen poo-poo this idea. Neither believe UAE Team Emirates will expend the energy to control this.

119km to go: Cavagna (Soudal–Quick-Step), Castroviejo and Fraile (Ineos Grenadiers), Cort (EF Education–EasyPost), Wright (Bahrain Victorious) and Coquard (Cofidis) are the six up front.

121km to go: Six riders bust away from the clutches of the peloton once again. Is that Mohoric up there? I think it may be. Anyway six riders have five seconds on the bunch, but the bunch is still trying to shut all this silliness down.

We’re told the front group is moving at 56km/h. That’s a spicy meatball!

Spectator waves a France flag as the peloton goes by.

122km to go: Cavagna, the Frenchman who hails from Clermont-Ferrand, has a crack off the front again. It is Bastille Day, after all. Not Metronomy Day or Friendly Fires Day.

124km to go: Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X) are on the move up front. They have impressively built a lead of eight seconds over the chasing peloton. But chasing is the operative word: the main bunch aren’t having any of this, and are trying their hardest to close it down … Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) is taking charge of the chase, and predictably given his ludicrous power, he shuts it down in double-quick time. All back together.

125km to go: You already know about today’s climb. Stage 13’s intermediate sprint comes at Hauteville-Lompnes, with 50.5km to race. It’s on the way to the top of the long, but uncategorised ascent that comes as an hors d’oeuvre for Grand Colombier.

128km to go: “Huge day,” emails Paul. “But why have the French declared a national holiday named after a middling but erudite indie synth band? Can any Francophile readers explain? Not knowing is driving me MAD but I’ll wager that it’s do with why we needed to leave the EU and that. I predict we will see Pogacar in yellow today (the colour, not the middling but erudite Swiss synth band).”

Bastille

129km to go: Cofidis up front now. There’s a gaggle of riders up ahead of the peloton again. Again they are going to be reeled in. At this pace, we’ll be faster than the fastest predicted stage finish, I’d bet.

130km to go: EF Education–EasyPost now have two riders up front trying to snap the elastic.

“Good afternoon!” emails Bill.

“It’s France! It’s Bastille Day! It’s a big mountain finish! It’s Thibaut’s time! Pinot is going to get a huge stomp on, and the final climb is going to be thrilling heorics in the red all the way to the top. He will take a brilliantly emotional victory on his farewell Tour de France .

“It will be marvellous.”

132km to go: The situation is fluid up front … but now that latest attempt to break away is closed down and we are back together again. This isn’t going to be a nice, relaxed start to the three looming days in the mountains, that’s for sure.

134km to go: Rémi Cavagna (Soudal–Quick-Step) now has a dart. There are four riders who have a few metres on the peloton. Biniam Girmay (Intermarché–Circus–Wanty) gets across and swells the group. Six there now … but I fancy this is going to get pulled back as well. They only have a few metres and it’s strung out at the front as the riders try to pull it back.

136km to go: That first attempt to break away is shut down. But more attacks come almost immediately. Mike Teunissen (Intermarché–Circus–Wanty) is the next to have a bash. He springs out of the peloton on the left-hand side of the road. And several riders give chase.

137km to go: Victor Campanaerts is one of two Lotto Dstny riders up front, trying to form the breakaway. Three Uno-X men are giving chase. They are speeding along at 50km/h.

Stage 13 begins!

And they’re off. Lotto Dstny are on the attack.

On the telly, there’s a beautiful shot of the Alps looming in the far distance.

Andrey Amador (EF Education–EasyPost) needs a front wheel change following a puncture.

Here we go then. The peloton are rolling along in the neutralised zone. 1.2km until they race.

Jens Voigt believes the break has zero chance of survival today. I don’t agree – and not just because Pogacar said UAE will be keeping their options open …

As mentioned earlier, De Gendt won on this day in 2016, the same day that Chris Froome went for a jog on Mont Ventoux:

Christopher Froome of Team Sky runs without his bicycle after crashing.

On Eurosport , pundit Dan Lloyd points out that going really deep today may cost riders over the weekend: perhaps not tomorrow, but Sunday. Managing effort over the next three days is going to be so important.

Now Vingegaard speaks , and is asked by Eurosport if this is a climb for Pogacar? “Yes, it suits him better. It’s only one climb in the end. In that case we’ll try to ride a bit defensively today.

Are you going to leave everything to UAE? “Basically, yes.

“I have the lightest options for today [bike and equipment].

“It’s a very, very hard climb. It’s 17km. Especially the bottom of it is very hard. It’s a hard climb to predict. In the bottom it’s steeper … we’ll see what plans everyone else has.”

He looks nervous, in my view, but that’s only to be expected …

Tadej Pogacar speaks to Eurosport, and is asked about how today may play out: “A lot depends on the break … then we have to decide if we go for it, or we let go.”

Is Grand Colombier a good climb for him? “I think yes, it suits me good. Three years ago was really nice memories . It would be nice to have it again. But today might be totally different than three years ago.”

And what did he think of Jumbo Visma’s tactics yesterday? “It was a bit crazy. They really wanted to go for the break. It was strange to see. But for us, it was OK, we had a good day yesterday. We focus on ourselves, and do our own thing.”

The headline in GC is that Vingegaard leads Pogacar by 17sec.

Top 10 before stage 13:

Vingegaard 50hr 30min 23sec Pogacar +17sec Hindley +2min 40sec Rodriguez +4min 22sec Bilbao +4min 34sec A Yates +4min 39sec S Yates +4min 44sec Pidcock +5min 26sec Gaudu +6min 01sec Pinot +6min 33sec

Mark Cavendish gives an update following his unfortunate departure from the race . He says his broken collarbone is slightly complicated by a previous injury – the one he sustained when he crashed in Harrogate in 2014. Anyway, aside from that, he sounds upbeat and thanks everyone who’s sent him messages of support. It’s been “wicked”, he says.

One more next year … ?

Any thoughts on today’s stage? You can email me or tweet . Allez!

Ion Izagirre mounted a superb lone breakaway yesterday to snaffle Cofidis’s second stage win of this Tour. Here’s Jeremy Whittle’s report, kicking off with some “Hell yes, I’m tough enough” thoughts from Vingegaard on the looming battle with Pogacar on Grand Colombier:

Chris Froome enjoyed some good times on Mont Ventoux, of course, but things are rather different now. Sylvan Adams, Israel-Premier Tech’s owner, took the opportunity yesterday to point out that the four-times Tour winner has not provided value for money since signing for the team in 2020:

Seven years ago today: everyone’s favourite Belgian breakaway specialist, Thomas de Gendt, won the stage on Mont Ventoux. (Being pedantic, it wasn’t “atop” Mont Ventoux as the Lotto Dstny tweet states. The finish was at Chalet Reynard, I think, but certainly not atop the mountain as you can see from the photo.)

Throw🔙 Seven years ago, a memorable win atop Mont Ventoux for @DeGendtThomas on #BastilleDay ! pic.twitter.com/11l7mSLDCa — Lotto Dstny (@lotto_dstny) July 14, 2023

It’s the 14th of July – Bastille Day – a time for French pride and, perhaps, a French stage winner?

Here’s a picture of Tony Gallopin (Lidl-Trek) waving the flag, a proud Frenchman, but not the type of rider who will be in contention for today’s win.

Below that, a hint from the Tour’s official Twitter that we may see an appearance from the Patrouille acrobatique de France.

French rider Tony Gallopin of team Lidl-Trek waves prior the start of the 13th stage of the Tour de France.

🇫🇷 Bastille day on the Grand Colombier 🇫🇷 Fête nationale au Grand Colombier ! #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/J32EMuqRAv — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 14, 2023

The omens could hardly be better for UAE Team Emirates today. In 2020, Tadej Pogacar won stage 15 atop Grand Colombier on a day that Egan Bernal’s attempt to defend his title with Team Ineos disintegrated. Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) remained well placed for the overall win, or so it seemed before that fateful final time trial.

Tadej Pogacar wins on Grand Colombier in 2020.

Have you got much planned for this weekend? The Tour de France certainly has: three mountain stages, beginning today, that may even determine the overall winner. The race hits the Jura Mountains this afternoon before two punishing days in the Alps on Saturday and Sunday. This afternoon’s route is relatively short, at 137.8km, but very sharp with a summit finish atop Grand Colombier, 17.4km long, peaking 1,501m above sea level.

We will almost certainly see a full-on early fight to form a breakaway among the peloton’s climbers who fancy a stage win, but regardless of how the rest of the stage plays out, attention will be focused on Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar on that final, attritional ascent. The Slovenian Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) is just 17sec behind his Danish rival in the general classification. Vingegaard, of Jumbo-Visma, may still lead the race, but there is a sense Pogacar is getting stronger and merely waiting for his moment.

Perhaps the GC teams will seek to control things, and let Vingegaard and Pocagar duke it out for the stage win as well as precious seconds in the GC at the front of the race? However it shakes down, the relatively short distance and the finely-balanced situation at the top of the standings means it’s going to be gripping entertainment anyway.

Scheduled stage start time: 12.55 BST

Tour de France 2023 stage 3 LIVE: Result and winner of bunch sprint in Bayonne

Jasper Philipsen sprinted to victory on stage three of the Tour de France as Adam Yates retained the yellow jersey in Bayonne.

Philipsen had the power to hold off Phil Bauhaus and Caleb Ewan on a slight uphill to the line as Mark Cavendish, seeking a record-breaking 35th career Tour stage victory, came home in sixth place.

Wout van Aert, second on Sunday’s stage in San Sebastian, had tried to challenge Philipsen in the finale but found himself squeezed against the barriers and sat up at the line.

Follow all the latest updates from stage three below:

Tour de France 2023

Jasper Philipsen wins stage 3 in bunch sprint in Bayonne

Mark Cavendish finishes sixth in encouraging performance

Adam Yates retains yellow jersey on quiet day for general classification contenders

Jasper Philipsen sprints to stage three win as Adam Yates remains in yellow

17:54 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Jasper Philipsen was made to wait to start his celebrations after sprinting to victory on stage three of the Tour de France as Adam Yates retained the yellow jersey in Bayonne.

Philipsen took the win ahead of Phil Bauhaus and Caleb Ewan, with Mark Cavendish , seeking a record-breaking 35th Tour stage victory, coming home in sixth, but there was a wait after the stage for the results to be confirmed as the race jury looked to see if Philipsen had impeded Wout Van Aert.

The sprint finish meant there were no major changes at the top of the general classification, with Adam Yates remaining six seconds ahead of UAE Emirates team-mate Tadej Pogacar and twin brother Simon Yates of Jayco-Alula.

On a tight, twisty finish to the stage, characterised by a string of roundabouts and a sharp hairpin two kilometres from the line, Philipsen was delivered into position by Alpecin-Deceuninck team-mate Mathieu van der Poel for the drag up to the line.

Fellow Belgian Van Aert was on his right and challenging for the win, but with a slight kink to the right before the line, the Jumbo-Visma man found himself trapped up against the barriers, sitting up to roll in fifth.

Having been declared the winner, Philipsen went down to the podium to conduct his interviews, but was then asked to wait and ultimately called in to speak to the race jury before the result was confirmed, with Philipsen having not deviated from his line.

Tour de France 2023 - Jersey round-up

17:45 , Harry Latham-Coyle

No changes in any of the classifications - it’s as you were in terms of the jersey wearers for tomorrow. Jasper Philipsen and Victor Lafay are tied on 80 points, but the Frenchman retains green on account of his place higher up in the GC standings:

Yellow: Simon Yates (UAE Team Emirates)

White: Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates)

Green: Victor Lafay (Cofidis)

Polka Dot: Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost)

And Laurent Pichon (Arkea-Samsic) has won today’s combativity prize for all of his breakaway efforts.

Laurent Pichon est élu combatif du jour sur cette troisième étape du @LeTour 😍💪 #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/TrgsRzPJWs — Team Arkéa Samsic (@Arkea_Samsic) July 3, 2023

17:34 , Harry Latham-Coyle

And here’s what tomorrow’s 182km jaunt from Dax to Nogaro looks like as the Tour heads inland.

Jasper Philipsen wins Stage Three of the Tour de France

17:31 , Harry Latham-Coyle

That’s two Tour de France sprint stages in a row for Jasper Philipsen, of course, with the Belgian closing last year’s edition with victory on the Champs-Elysees. He’ll fancy making it three tomorrow, too - it looks another day for the sprinty types, with even fewer lumps and bumps to deal with than today.

17:23 , Lawrence Ostlere in Bayonne

That was a thrilling finish to a sleepy day for the crowds here in Bayonne, where hundreds packed the bridge over the Nive river 300m before the finish. Jasper Philipsen has been widely tipped to enjoy a big Tour de France, and on this evidence – with the perfectly timed leadout train of Mathieu van der Poel to rely on – that will not be the last time we see him celebrate over the next few weeks. Mark Cavendish finished a very creditable sixth, encouraging signs as he bids for No 35.

And here is our stage winner Jasper Philipsen

17:22 , Harry Latham-Coyle

“It was a bit in doubt! They made it really exciting in the end...

“It was tense but that is the Tour de France, there are no presents for anybody, everyone goes all in. We can be really happy with our team performance today - I had a great lead-out, Mathieu did a fantastic job. It’s amazing - if he has the space to go, for sure he has the speed, and you know no other lead-out will pass him.

“It was a tricky final with the S bend in the end, so I tried to take the shortest route to the finish. There was already stress in the bunch with 70km to go, everyone fighting for the win.”

🇧🇪🇧🇪JASPER. PHILIPSEN.🇧🇪🇧🇪 #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/B4woqEEYMn — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 3, 2023

17:19 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Jasper Philipsen has been called out of the winner’s chair as the UCI commissaires review the finish. The French broadcaster has suggested that the result has been upheld...

And Philipsen comes out of the stewards’ tent with a broad grin on his face - the win is, indeed, his.

Mathieu van der Poel speaks to Eurosport after helping Jasper Philipsen to victory

17:16 , Harry Latham-Coyle

“Yesterday I tried to save as much energy as possible because I knew it would be hard today for the first sprint stage. We did a perfect lead-out for him.

“Coming in here, I knew my shape was good but the last two days I wasn’t riding with the legs I had before the Tour. I’m happy we have this win and now we’ll go for another one.”

17:14 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Hmm. Jasper Philipsen doesn’t look entirely confident as he sits waiting for the result to be ratified. Tadej Pogacar comes over for a chat, working through the footage of the final sprint. Philipsen shouldn’t have anything to fear - he didn’t deviate off his line, simply followed the bend.

Jumbo-Visma may well lodge a complaint, but the problem seemed to be the barriers, which jutted out in quite an unsafe manner in those final few hundred metres . Philipsen looks very, very nervous though.

17:11 , Harry Latham-Coyle

No major changes at the top of the general classification, of course, with the bunch given the same time and none of those who took bonus seconds troubling the race leaders. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) remains in yellow; his teammate Tadej Pogacar in white.

The top of the GC continues to look like this:

1. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates)

2. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates)

3. Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla)

4. Victor Lafay (Cofidis)

5. Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma)

6. Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma)

7. Michael Woods (Israel-Premier Tech)

8. Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe)

17:07 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Wout van Aert seemed a little frustrated at the finish there, sitting up and shaking his head after being slightly boxed in by Philipsen. I don’t think there was anything untoward from the Belgian that will result in relegation, Van Aert caught against the barriers due to the road’s natural curve and making the right call not to try and push through.

Two near misses in a row for Jumbo-Visma’s do-everything superstar having appeared well placed.

Tour de France 2023 - Stage Three result

17:02 , Harry Latham-Coyle

1. Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck)

2. Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain-Victorious)

3. Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Dstny)

4. Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal-QuickStep)

🏆 @JasperPhilipsen wins the massive sprint in Bayonne! 🏆 @JasperPhilipsen remporte le sprint massif à Bayonne ! #TDF2023 | @AlpecinDCK pic.twitter.com/1AyCxdee3I — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 3, 2023

JASPER PHILIPSEN WINS STAGE THREE OF THE TOUR DE FRANCE!

17:00 , Harry Latham-Coyle

The favourite delivers! Alpecin-Deceuninck got it pretty much spot on, prepared to hit the front early and keep in control. Mathieu van der Poel cleared the way, releasing Jasper Philipsen inside the final few hundred metres.

Wout van Aert tried to come up the inside but was left short of room as the road bent, and Philipsen had the power to hold off the fast finishing Phil Bauhaus and Caleb Ewan.

16:58 , Harry Latham-Coyle

16:57 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Into a dip, and under the flamme rouge.

1km to go. Alpecin-Deceuninck perfectly placed - Van der Poel leading the way for Philipsen.

1.5km to go

16:56 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Wout van Aert will sprint - he’s got Christophe Laporte to help him out.

Mathieu van der Poel is guiding Jasper Philipsen up the centre. Caleb Ewan right with them; Peter Sagan, too.

16:55 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Biniam Girmay is moved up the left of the road, in behind Soudal-QuickStep, setting things up for Fabio Jakobsen. UnoX are there - can Alexander Kristoff produce something for the Scandanavians?

The speed is more than 60km/h as the sprinters begin to kick into gear and the GC men just start to fade back. Under the 3km banner - everyone is safe.

16:53 , Harry Latham-Coyle

The peloton sweeps through a roundabout, the natural curve stringing out the bunch. A couple of Ineos Grenadiers riders look back into the bunch, checking that Carlos Rodriguez, Egan Bernal and co. are where they need to be.

16:52 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Jumbo-Visma move to the front now - Wout van Aert looks like he might be sprinting, out to avenge yesterday’s error.

Up a little rise as we come into Bayonne.

16:50 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Soudal-QuickStep are driving it on, with Groupama-FDJ up the front, too. The French team left Arnaud Demare at home of course - protecting the diminutive David Gaudu is surely their objective.

Lotto-Dstny fancy this, by the looks of things. Caleb Ewan looks calm and confident.

16:48 , Harry Latham-Coyle

You can almost feel that nervous tension in the peloton as we approach that string of roundabouts. Jasper Philipsen ends up out of position at the first of them, and has to really work to get back into a prime spot having been squeezed back down the field.

16:46 , Harry Latham-Coyle

It’s already getting a little bit chaotic, even on these wide motorway roads on the approach to Bayonne. It’s going to be a hectic finale - for those without sprint options, guiding their general classification contenders safely to the 3km mark is the key.

16:43 , Harry Latham-Coyle

I like the look of Intermarche Circus Wanty’s train, too - Mike Teunissen and Dion Smith are on bodyguard duties for the brilliantly talented Biniam Girmay, a standout on debut at the Giro last year before a stray popped cork from a celebratory bottle of champagne ended his race early.

16:38 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Mark Cavendish is right in the heart of things - he’s got one teammate directly alongside him and several other Astana riders nearby. Cavendish suggested last night that he might take time to reach top form in this Tour, as he did at the Giro. Cees Bol is presumably his last lead-out man - the hulking Dutchman could prove pretty useful if Cavendish is to break the record.

16:34 , Harry Latham-Coyle

The pack concertinas as they hit an incline, allowing the stragglers to latch back on.

16:31 , Harry Latham-Coyle

The high pace at the front is going to make positioning crucial as we near the finish - moving up is going to be mightily difficult, particularly through all of the road furniture in Bayonne.

16:29 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Laurent Pichon is beginning to pay for his efforts in the breakway - the Breton has dropped through the peloton and will be spending more time on his lonesome.

16:27 , Harry Latham-Coyle

The pace remains exceptionally high. UnoX come to the front - the hardy, experienced Alexander Kristoff could be in the mix at the finish - while Ineos are up their, too, making sure that their group of protected riders are safe and secure.

16:18 , Harry Latham-Coyle

The peloton fans out across the road, eight lines of similarly clothed riders as the teams keep their leaders safe at the front. Positioning will be crucial on the final run-in, with a series of three or four roundabouts just before that vital 3km mark that could pose a few problems.

16:14 , Harry Latham-Coyle

The catch is made - Laurent Pichon’s grand day out is over and we are all back together for the final run to Bayonne.

It’s going to be fast and furious from here on in.

❌ @lauPichon is caught. It's the end of the breakaway and another race begins. ❌ Laurent Pichon est repris. C'est la fin de l'échappée. Une nouvelle course commence. #TDF2023 | @Arkea_Samsic pic.twitter.com/n44O0nv6PO — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 3, 2023

38 km to go

16:12 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Lotto-Dstny have been slightly quiet today, but have now joined the rest of the sprinters’ teams towards the front. All of their eggs are in Caleb Ewan’s basket this year - there’s plenty of pressure on the slightly mercurial Australia, at his best probably the fastest in the field but short of his best over the last 12 months or so.

41 km to go

16:08 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Laurent Pichon’s race will soon be run - he’s pulled the cord and is soon to be enveloped by the peloton, now just 15 sconds behind.

16:02 , Harry Latham-Coyle

While we swept over the day’s categorised climbs during the first half of the stage, there are still some ups and downs to negotiate - there are plenty of undulations on the road up to Bayonne, as anyone who has been to the French part of the Basque Country will attest. Laurent Pichon keeps his legs pounding on the pedals as he comes down from one little lump, hoping to extend his adventure out the front for as long as possible.

15:57 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Lidl-Trek and Soudal-QuickStep, through the ever willing and able Tim Declercq, also show their faces at the front, bringing that gap down towards 60 seconds. It’s very much been as we expected today.

15:53 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Pichon may be starting to fade - the peloton have taken 30 seconds out of his advantage in short order, with Alpecin-Deceuninck and Jayco-AlUla doing much of the hard graft on the front as they try to set things up for Jasper Philipsen and Dylan Groenewegen respectively.

15:47 , Harry Latham-Coyle

And now the peloton have arrived on French soil, too, over the bridge into the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It really is a beautiful part of the world, the Basque coast, all the more so with three-deep crowds walking up from the beach to line the streets and cheer Laurent Pichon and the rest on.

15:42 , Harry Latham-Coyle

There are a few reports that all of these punctures have been caused by yet more throwing of tacks into the road. It’s the second day in a row that the race has been targeted - it does seem like very odd behaviour and is rather blotting what has otherwise been an excellent exhibition of the Basque Country’s charms.

Laurent Pichon has crossed the border - a sweeping left hander and, for the first time this year, the Tour de France is in, well, France.

To Bayonne!

15:33 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Let’s learn a little more about our lone leader, then. There’s not much on Laurent Pichon’s palmares to get excited about but the Brittany-born rouleur has hung around the French-speaking parts of the peloton for a long time. This is his third Tour, but his first appearance in five years.

A seventh place at the quirky Brittany race Tro Bro Leon is his best result this season. It’s always a fun date on the calendar, the so-called Petit Paris-Roubaix, a rough romp around farm tracks and other unpaved roads that sees the winner presented with a piglet.

15:26 , Harry Latham-Coyle

It feels like we’ve had more mechnanicals than usual today - Rui Costa and Alexey Lutsenko are among the latest bunch of unfortunate bike riders forced back to the car for a change of wheel.

Lonely Laurent Pichon’s advantage is two minutes and 45 seconds.

🔴⚪️ @NPowless 🇺🇸 🤜🤛 @lauPichon 🇫🇷 #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/DZxPuuSjrA — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 3, 2023

15:22 , Harry Latham-Coyle

With a bag of bottles draped over his shoulder, Neilson Powless is heartily welcomed back by his EF teammates in the bunch.

15:17 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Neilson Powless’s day is done - an eleven point King of the Mountains lead safely secured, he leaves Laurent Pichon to go it alone at the front, sitting up and waiting to be swallowed up by the peloton.

How Mark Cavendish became a Tour de France legend

15:10 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Mark Cavendish once gave me the look.

It was an interview in a hotel lobby in Yorkshire; he was slightly late and apologised profusely, then answered questions about the Tour de France with enthusiastic detail. For some reason I thought 10 minutes of flowing conversation made me his trusted confidant, so I looked him in the eyes and asked: how much do you want to break Eddy Merckx’s Tour stage record? He shrugged it off. But what would it mean to you? He went quiet. Wouldn’t it crown your legacy?

The look was somewhere in the venn diagram of anger and disdain, and I half expected him to walk off. He stayed, but it was clear he didn’t want to talk about the record, and in that brief moment I felt the gentlest prod of his famous spikiness. Cavendish was once asked what he’d learned from a difficult day on the bike. “That journalists sometimes ask some stupid f***ing questions,” he replied.

Could this be the day that Mark Cavendish breaks Eddy Merckx’s record? Lawrence Ostlere speaks to some of the Manxman’s closest allies - and fiercest rivals - to find out what makes him special.

How Mark Cavendish became a Tour de France legend – according to rivals and teammates

Tour de France 2023 - Stage Three

15:04 , Harry Latham-Coyle

The rear of the peloton just becomes cramped a little bit on a steep bend on the day’s final climb, forcing a few riders at the back to come to a complete stop. Matteo Trentin is the last to get going again, pushing between the Basque flags and up the remaining metres of the ascent.

Right, that’s all of that dealt with - 90km of largely flat roads to come.

14:59 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Seven points more to Neilson Powless across today’s four minor climbs, with the EF rider trying to set himself up for a period in polka dots. Someone with his sort of climbing ability will fancy his chances of clinging on to the jersey for a few more days. EF could be a bit of a wildcard for the remainder of the race after losing Richard Carapaz to injury in the opening stage.

A message comes through from an Arkea Samsic directeur sportif to Laurent Pichon, asking the Frenchman to try and keep the break going and secure the day’s combativity prize, for which you’d think he might already be a shoo-in.

14:50 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Laurent Pichon and Neilson Powless have one more third category climb to negotiate before they can throttle right down and prepare for the peloton’s embrace. Pichon has a chuckle with his polka-dotted partner - he’ll have made his team happy with all this visibility on a day where the Breton-based outfit are unlikely to figure in the final stage equation.

14:46 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Chris Juul-Jensen of Team Jayco-AlUla on the front setting the tempo. Dylan Groenewegen will be their option at the finish today, you’d think - the Dutchman was impressive at the Tour of Slovenia in June with a couple of stage wins, and he’s got a pretty good group around him to set him up for the sprint, with Luka Mezgec a fast finisher in his own right.

97km left. 1 minute and 30 seconds is the gap to our two leaders.

14:39 , Harry Latham-Coyle

O’Connor is in bother again as the peloton cruise along the coast, requiring a bike change. Teammate Nans Peters offers his assistance, ready to again bring his team leader back into the main bunch.

AG2R are in a bit of a weird spot if O’Connor isn’t on top form - in Aurelien Paret-Peintre and Benoit Cosnefroy, they have a couple of punchy Frenchmen who could prove dangerous if given free rein to go stage hunting later in the race, but they’ll be reluctant to let the pair off the leash if O’Connor has any shot at an overall top ten. Ordinarily, Paret-Peintre might even have the climbing legs to get himself in the general classification mix, but he’s already ridden the Giro this year, so unlikely to be able to sustain the sort of effort required.

14:32 , Harry Latham-Coyle

The peloton’s pace has eased, with the break’s gap restored to a comfortable two and a half minutes.

Ben O’Connor has just rejoined the peloton, aided by a couple of AG2R teammates and hoping to put a tough weekend behind him. It’s not been a pretty start to the Tour for the Australian, who has lost time on both stages so far to suggest his hopes of a genuine GC tilt are slim. It’s a real shame for a rider who had so impressed in finishing fourth in 2021 - you may remember he had a pretty tough time of things last year, forced to ride on longer than he should have with a painful looking glute injury.

“Strangely, I’m simply not good enough at the moment,” O’Connor told CyclingNews overnight. “It’s not ideal, but it doesn’t mean I can’t finish in the top ten of the final standings. We now get two sprint days and then we have the Pyrenees. I will continue to do my best and see if the top ten is still possible.”

14:27 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Back to the men, and there’s about 110 kilometres or so before our dash through Bayonne decides our Stage Three victor. Might Wout van Aert be in the mix after his near miss yesterday? Everything appeared perfectly set up for him yesterday before Victor l‘a fait, the Jumbo-Visma rider comfortably the fastest in the reduced group that came home seconds behind the Cofidis rider.

Van Aert appeared a little aggrieved by the lack of help he received from Jonas Vingegaard in those last few kilometres, slapping his handlebars as he crossed the line, but the brilliant Belgian has said there is no lasting frustration.

““Of course we discussed with the team what happened,” Van Aert said this morning. “We always want to win and if we can’t, we look at what we could have done better. It wasn’t an easy situation in the final either.

“[Vingegaard] did make sure I had the chance to go for the win,”

“If he cooperated with Pogacar after the Jaizkibel - and we were far behind - then I had no chance of victory. However, he could have put a lot of competitors for the classification behind there.”

“If you see how it turned out in the end, maybe Jonas could have done more at the end. But that’s also hindsight. It’s racing, not a computer game. So the criticism of him is unjustified.”

“The Tour is 3 weeks. There are still many chances to come, starting already today.”

14:20 , Harry Latham-Coyle

While many of the best male bike riders in the world continue their weave towards France, much of the women’s peloton is in Italy for the Giro Donne. Annemiek van Vleuten laid down an early marker with a solo victory on Saturday and has extended her lead on the second climbing test today, but missed out on victory, Elisa Longo Borghini finding a finishing kick to beat Veronica Ewers and Van Vleuten in a three-up sprint in Borgo Val di Taro.

Five more stages to come, including a two-day denouement in Sardinia, in a slightly shorter race than last year.

14:14 , Harry Latham-Coyle

That little dash to the intermediate sprint has closed the gap down to less than two minutes. You wonder if the peloton might be tempted to bring Laurent Pichon and Neilson Powless back between the next two climbs. Not that there is any need to, of course.

Victor Lafay has been re-absorbed. Powless is given a slight fright as Pichon feigns going after the two mountain points on the Col d’Itziar, but they eventually end up in the American’s pocket. He’ll wear the polka dots tomorrow.

14:07 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Those 15 points to Lafay leave things intriguingly poised ahead of the bunch sprint - I think the green jersey will be the Frenchman’s to wear if the bunch sprint is one by someone not named Wout van Aert, Mads Pedersen or Jasper Philipsen, who are all within the 50 points today’s winner will receive.

It’s pretty smart stuff from Lafay, who appears to have now sat up as he and the rest of the field begin the Col d’Itziar.

14:04 , Harry Latham-Coyle

And it’s little surprise to see Mads Pedersen showing at the front, the Dane fancying his chances of taking the green jersey come race end with Wout van Aert declaring himself out of the running to focus on the good of team Jumbo-Visma (and a potential early departure for the birth of his child).

Pedersen pips Jordi Meeus and Biniam Girmay to take 13 points.

14:01 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Through the intermediate sprint go Laurent Pichon and Neilson Powless, followed soon enough by Victor Lafay. 15 points to the Frenchman - and there’s a bit of a ding-dong brewing behind as the sprinters prepare to test their legs.

13:58 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Lafay is closing quickly on our intrepid two at the front of the race, taking a minute and a bit out of their lead and now only 90 seconds or so back.

Oh Victor va faire basculer le Tour ! 💚 #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/IfZXZhgPPT — Team Cofidis (@TeamCOFIDIS) July 3, 2023

13:54 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Now then! This is bold from Victor Lafay, yesterday’s winner and looking fetching in the green jersey. He’s off the front of the peloton and looking to close the gap to the breakaway.

Lafay’s legs looked really, really good on Saturday when he was a slightly strange interloper alongside Pogacar and Vingegaard. You wonder what his intentions here are - the intermediate sprint isn’t too far away, so perhaps he wants to stay in green?

13:46 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Need a reminder of what’s to come in this year’s Tour? Here’s our stage by stage guide of a route that promises plenty.

Stage-by-stage guide to the 2023 Tour de France route

13:29 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Plenty of fans out and about in the rather pretty seaside town of Lekeitio, the Basque fans making themselves heard and waving their Ikurriña flags.

Tadej Pogacar requires a new back wheel, coming to a halt as the peloton begins to weave up a coastal road. He’s in no hurry after this sedate start, stopping for a natter with a couple of UAE Team Emirates personnel.

It’s a glorious day, by the looks of things, with a welcome breeze coming off the sea. Pogacar smiles to the camera as he weaves through the convoy up to the rear of the peloton.

13:21 , Harry Latham-Coyle

These are the sort of days that do sometimes bring unexpected incidents - the peloton can switch off a little with the pattern set so early and a bunch sprint all but a certainty, with a loss of focus causing a crossed wheel or two and a crash. Few signs of that so far, with the riders chatting away happily. Mark Cavendish has dropped off the back briefly, with Astana teammate Yevgeniy Fedorov helping pace him back to the peloton - here’s what the British sprinter had to say last night as he geared up for his first chance at breaking Eddy Merckx’s record.

Mark Cavendish being his usual honest self ahead of what could be a record breaking week for him 😅🐐 #TDF2023 | @MarkCavendish pic.twitter.com/ZPArDkSfPI — Eurosport (@eurosport) July 3, 2023

13:11 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Three minutes is the gap now as the two-man breakaway prepare to crest the second climb of the day. Just a single point on offer at the top of the Cote de Milloi, a gentle ascent.

Fabio Jakobsen, one of the day’s big contenders, has been forced into an early bike change, with the Soudal–Quick-Step rider back amongst his teammates in the peloton. Trek-Segafredo’s Quinn Simmons is doing the work on the front, instantly recognisable with his flowing locks and bushy red beard, clad in the stars and stripes earned by victory in Knoxville at the US national championships last week.

Neilson Powless adds another point, playing to the crowd as they roar him over the top of the Milloi.

13:03 , Harry Latham-Coyle

And while it didn’t quite come for him, there were certainly signs of intent from Tadej Pogacar on both Saturday and Sunday, trying his best to shake Jonas Vingegaard from his wheel but not quite able to dislodge the Dane. The bonus seconds that he’s already collected could prove valuable, though, and Pogacar will surely keep attacking - he knows no other way and it might be his best route to victory as he bids to win back his crown.

How Tadej Pogacar can beat Jonas Vingegaard and take back Tour de France crown

12:55 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Well, it would appear we may be set for the day - Neilson Powless and Laurent Pichon out front, the sprinters’ teams keeping them within reach at the front of the peloton.

That gives us plenty of time to digest an outstanding opening weekend, with the Basque Country predictably coming to life to provide an incredible atmosphere. The racing delivered, too - The Independent’s Lawrence Ostlere indulged in all that Bilbao and San Sebastian had to offer.

Jumbo’s Death Star and Pidcock’s dog: Inside the Tour de France’s Grand Depart

12:44 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Pichon does not contest - Powless takes two more King of the Mountains competition points to extend his advantage over Tadej Pogacar to six points. You’d expect him to add another five on the two third category and single fourth category climbs remaining in the stage, with the peloton unlikely to bother reeling the breakaway in before each of the mini-peaks have been crossed.

Alpecin-Deceunick on the front of a very relaxed peloton, enjoying a much more comfortable day.

12:33 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Our plucky pair, Powless and Pichon, draw up alongside one another for a chat about the day ahead. We’ve got about three kilometres until the top f the day’s first climb, the third category Cote de Trabakua.

Pichon will presumably permit Powless to sweep over the top and take two more points to continue to build his lead.

12:24 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Neilson Powless isn’t alone - Arkea-Samsic’s Laurent Pichon has followed him off the front. Powless won’t mind the lack of company as he tries to build his King of the Mountains tally - their gap to the peloton has swelled to beyond a minute at it appears our breakaway for the day may already have been formed.

12:15 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Right, after two tough days in Spain, finally there’s something to interest the fastmen as the Tour de France crosses the border for our first likely sprint finish of this year’s race. We’re expecting things to be a little calmer through the afternoon, with the hills smaller and more spaced and unlikely to trouble the sprinters with no major general classification activity expected.

Is this the day for Mark Cavendish to break the record? You’d have to say the Astana rider is a real contender, though he took his time to warm to his task at the Giro d’Italia earlier in the year and might need to ease his way in to his Tour farewell, too. Jasper Philipsen will surely be up there - Mathieu van der Poel notably kept his powder dry yesterday on a finish that seemed to suit him, and should offer an uber-powerful lead-out option - while Wout van Aert might just be tempted to have his own go after being pipped by Victor Lafay yesterday.

The flag has been waved - 193.2 kilometres of racing to go and Neilson Powless is immediately on the attack as he seeks to consolidate his early lead in the chase for the polka dot jersey.

‘You morons!’ Tour de France riders hit by nail attack causing mass punctures

12:07 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Tour de France riders were attacked by nails on the road of the final kilometres of stage two in San Sebastian.

Several riders suffered punctures in the last throes of the 209km ride through the Spanish Basque Country. Lilian Calmejane posted a video on social media showing his bike after the race, with five nails embedded in the front tyre.

‘Thank you for this kind of human bulls**t…” he tweeted. “I don’t think I was the only victim of a puncture in the end… know that you can fall and get really hurt with your bulls**t you morons.”

11:59 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Mark Cavendish has found the 2023 Tour de France tough going so far, getting dropped by the peloton early in both of the opening hilly stages in the Basque Country. Now, though, the fast men may well get a shot at a bunch sprint as the road flattens somewhat en route from Amorebieta to Bayonne.

After two days in the north of Spain, the race will cross the border into France in the final 50km of this 184km journey along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean – pack-splitting crosswinds are unlikely on what is forecast to be a still day.

Tour de France 2023 contenders

Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard ( Jumbo-Visma ) has not yet confirmed his participation in the 2023 Tour de France but it's increasingly likely that the Danish rider will be on the startline on July 1. He will go up against two-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), who won the race in 2020 and 2021.

EF Education-EasyPost are likely to send new signing Richard Carapaz to the race, while Ineos Grenadiers have options in Tom Pidcock , Dani Martinez , and former winner Egan Bernal . The latter has already hinted that he would like to race the Tour de France in 2023 after returning from injury.

Other riders who are set to be on the start line include Romain Bardet , Simon Yates , David Gaudu , Jai Hindley , and Ben O'Connor .

2024 tour de france information.

The 111th edition of the Tour de France starts in Florence, Italy, on Saturday, June 29 and ends three weeks later in Nice on Sunday, July 21. It is the first time the Tour starts in Italy and the first time it finishes in Nice to avoid the preparations for the 2024 Paris Olympics Games, which begin just a week later.

The route of the world's biggest race covers a total of 3,492km with some 52,320 metres of overall elevation, passing through four nations – Italy, San Marino, France, and Monaco. It features two individual time trials for a total of 59km, four mountain-top finishes, a series of gravel sections on stage 9, and a final hilly time trial to Nice. The official route was unveiled on October 25 in a special ceremony in Paris.

Tour de France champion  Jonas Vingegaard  (Jumbo-Visma) won his second GC title last year and will be back to defend his title against top rival Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), who finished second overall. Vingegaard is likely to face a huge challenge from not just Pogačar, but also Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) and former teammate turned rival Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe).

  • Tour de France 2024 route

The 2024 Tour de France includes 52,230 metres of vertical gain across 3,492km of climbs, sprints and time trialling from Italy into France, with fewer high climbs than in the past and shorter stages. 

It is a balanced three weeks of racing that includes eight flat stages, four mountain-top finishes and two individual time trials, the final test against the clock is a hilly time trial to Nice that could create suspense. The race has 25km of racing above 2,000 metres and 27 mountains classified as second, first, or HC.

Florence, Italy, will host the team presentation, and stage 1 will roll out from Piazzale Michelangelo to open the Grand Tour for the first time. The first two stages are just over 200km each and include climbing, with the third day in Italy a flatter affair at 225km from Piacenza to Turin. 

Stage 4 heads into France and straight away to the Alps, with climbs across Sestriere, the Col de Montgenèvre and the Col du Galibier before a fast descent to Valloire. After two days with opportunities for breakaways and fast finishers, the first time trial comes on stage 7 at 25km. The first week ends with back-to-back stages ending in the champagne capital of Troyes to the southeast of Paris, including stage 9, which is a far tougher day due to the 14 sectors of gravel.

Week two of the 2024 Tour starts with a four-day ride south to the Pyrenees via the Massif Central and the rural France Profonde, with stages to Saint-Amand-Montrond, Le Lioran, Villeneuve-sur-Lot and then Pau. The Tour celebrates the Bastille Day holiday weekend in the Pyrenees with consecutive mountain finishes - stage 14 finishes in Pla d'Adet after climbing the Col du Tourmalet and the Hourquette d’Ancizan while stage 15 climbs the Portet d'Aspet and the Col d’Agnes for the finish up to Plateau de Beille.

Following the second rest day in Gruissan on the Mediterranean coast near the border with Spain on Monday, July 15, the final week leads into the Alps. The contenders should face a final shakeout once the race reaches stage 20, as the 2,802-metre high Cime de la Bonette and final ascent to Isola 2000 will be decisive. The final stage of the 2024 Tour is a 34km hilly time trial from Monaco to Nice.

Tour de France 2024 Contenders

Defending Tour de France champion  Jonas Vingegaard will again have a strong Jumbo-Visma team to support his quest for a third title, but this time, former team leader Primož Roglič has turned to rival as he looks to give Bora-Hansgrohe top billing. Vingegaard will also face huge challenges from Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep). 

In the flat stages, look for last year's green jersey victor Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to contest for another title against Fabio Jakobsen , now with Team dsm-firmenich, and Caleb Ewan , now with Jayco-AlUIa. And fastman Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) is back for an 18th pro season to mix it up in the sprints, on the hunt for a record-breaking 35th Tour de France stage victory.

And there will be opportunities across the three weeks for breakaway riders to shine, including the likes of Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-QuickStep), Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck).
