Tour de France 2024 - The GC favourites form guide

A look at how the men targeting yellow fared in their opening races of the season

Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard are once again the front-runners for Tour de France glory after strong starts to 2024

Everybody takes a different path to the Tour de France , but all the contenders for overall victory in Nice have now started their seasons. Jonas Vingegaard got off to a thunderous start with wins at O Gran Camiño and Tirreno-Adriatico, while Tadej Pogačar delivered yet another performance for the ages at Strade Bianche .

Elsewhere, Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglič met at Paris-Nice , even if Visma-Lease A Bike issued an ominous warning about their strength in depth when Matteo Jorgenson carried off final overall victory.

Making comparisons between riders lining out in different races never makes for an exact science, but clashes between the ‘Big Four’ of favourites will be infrequent between now and July.

With that in mind, we present the first 2024 instalment of our ranking of the favourites for Tour victory. 

1. Jonas Vingegaard  

  • Team: Visma-Lease A Bike
  • Tour Experience: Winner in 2022 and 2023, runner-up in 2021
  • 2024 results: 1st & three stage wins at O Gran Camiño, 1st & two stage wins at Tirreno-Adriatico

The 2022 and 2023 Tour de France winner avoided a showdown against Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič at Paris-Nice, but he perhaps regretted it after dominating Tirreno-Adriatico with a show of superb early-season form.

The Dane won both mountain stages in the Italian stage race, surging away from Juan Ayuso, Jai Hindley et al when he felt like it to win alone and gain significant time. He was clearly on another level.

“The season is not only about the Tour de France. It’s better to try to do something now, win some races and win as much as possible,” Vingegaard suggested, clearly happy and at ease after riding so well at Tirreno-Adriatico.

“I was in shape last year but for some other things, I didn’t perform that well, but I always believed in myself and my form. I think my level is still improving and I hope I can improve more for the Tour de France. I know I can peak in July.”

Vingegaard confirmed he is unlikely to ride the Ardennes Classics. Itzulia Basque Country is next but without a spell at altitude beforehand.

“I’m looking forward to racing those two guys too,” Vingegaard said of Roglič and Evenepoel, with genuine enthusiasm and a sense of a challenge.

“It was a good peloton here, but they are some of the best riders in the world, so you have to compare yourself against them. To be the best rider in the world, you have to beat those guys.”

2. Tadej Pogacar

  • Team: UAE Team Emirates
  • Tour Experience: Winner in 2020 and 2021, runner-up in 2022 and 2023
  • 2024 results: 1st at Strade Bianche

Tadej Pogačar has different ambitions from his Tour de France rivals and different characteristics as a rider, so he has a very different race programme from everyone else.

He is targeting the Giro d’Italia-Tour de France double and so is racing less in the spring to stay fresh and prepare to be at his best in May and then again in July.

The UAE Team Emirates leader dominated Strade Bianche with his 81 km solo attack but then skipped Tirreno-Adriatico, making Milan-San Remo his second race day of the season. The Volta a Catalunya will be the only stage race of the spring, with Liège-Bastogne-Liège his last race coming after an altitude camp before starting the Giro d’Italia in Turin on May 4.

“I have a really nice programme. I can be excited for each race,” Pogačar said after his Strade Bianche win, confirming he has enjoyed a productive pre-season and is already on great form and on track for his Giro-Tour double attempt.

“I’ve got back all the confidence that I maybe lost after the crash last year. It was a really great winter for me, I had really great preparation and I’ve got confirmation that all is good.”

A one-day race is no confirmation of Tour de France form, but Pogačar appears happier than ever after several months at home. He has a spring in his step and a smile on his face, a terrible sign for his rivals of what is likely to come in 2024.

3. Remco Evenepoel

  • Team: Soudal-QuickStep
  • Tour Experience: Debutant
  • 2024 results: 1st at Figueira Champions Classics, 1st & stage win at Volta ao Algarve, 2nd & stage win at Paris-Nice

Remco Evenepoel started his year in a similar manner to Vingegaard and Pogačar by delivering a remarkable solo exhibition at the Figueira Champions Classic. Later in the week, he ran through his scales on very familiar terrain at the Volta ao Algave, winning the race for the third time and in the usual manner, by dominating the time trial and tracking everything on the two summit finishes.

From the friendly confines of Portugal, Evenepoel moved on to new ground in March. Prior to this year, Evenepoel’s lone excursions across the Franco-Belgian border had come at the Chrono des Nations. With his Tour debut on the horizon, Evenepoel figured he might as well spend a bit more time on French roads, and so he opted for Paris-Nice over Tirreno-Adriatico or the Volta a Catalunya.

The Race to the Sun didn’t go entirely to plan for Evenepoel, though it was far from a disaster either, as he picked up second place overall and a stage win in Nice . His overall challenge was ultimately undone by the tactical error that allowed Matteo Jorgenson out of his sight on stage 6, but it will surely be a nagging concern that one of Vingegaard’s Visma-Lease A Bike domestiques dealt so ably with his onslaught on the final stage.

“It’s not yet the best Remco, but we’re getting there,” said Evenepoel, who will measure himself against Vingegaard at Itzulia Basque Country before an anticipated head-to-head with Pogačar at Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

Unlike his rivals, Evenepoel hasn’t yet trained at altitude in 2024, and he won’t do so until after the Ardennes. By his reckoning, there is still ample margin for improvement before July. “We can already be very positive with the feeling that we now have without altitude.”

4. Primoz Roglic

  • Team: Bora-Hansgrohe
  • Tour Experience: Runner-up in 2020, fourth in 2018, three stage wins
  • 2024 results: 10th at Paris-Nice

Primož Roglič remains in our top four on pedigree rather than performance, given that his 10th place at Paris-Nice marked his worst finish in a stage race of any description since he placed 15th overall at the same event in 2021. That statistic doesn’t tell the full story, of course, as Roglič crashed on the final day of that edition of Paris-Nice while wearing the yellow jersey.

In reality, then, this was Roglič’s most subdued outing in a stage race since he placed 29th overall at the 2018 Tirreno-Adriatico. In his subsequent 27 stage race appearances, Roglič crashed out on four occasions (three times at Grand Tours), but he finished on the podium 20 times out of his 23 finishes. The exceptions came at the 2018 Tour de France (4th), 2021 Paris-Nice (15th) and 2022 Itzulia Basque Country (8th).

What does this mean for Roglič’s prospects of Tour victory in July? Probably less than you think. His showing here was entirely in keeping with the vision Bora-Hansgrohe performance manager Rolf Aldag laid out at the team’s media day in January. In his Jumbo-Visma era, Roglič tended to win early and often. At Bora, Aldag insisted, the Tour is the only win that matters, and his programme has been designed accordingly.

“Where we want to clash with the ‘Big Four’ is at the Tour de France,” Aldag explained back then, with Roglič adding that it would be a “bonus” if he got victories before July. The Slovenian certainly looked a long way short of his usual March sharpness at Paris-Nice, but perhaps that’s just all part of the grand design for his fresh approach to the Tour.

Roglič never appeared in any undue difficulty during the week either, though as Philippa York pointed out, Bora-Hansgrohe’s tactical approach to the team time trial left much to be desired . For now, the 34-year-old appears content to fly under the radar, but Itzulia Basque Country will give a better indication of his progress.

5. Juan Ayuso

  • 2024 results: 2nd at Ruta del Sol, 1st at Faun Ardéche Classic, 2nd at Faun Drôme Classic, 3rd at Trofeo Laigueglia, 2nd overall & stage win at Tirreno-Adriatico

Juan Ayuso’s career has always been on a fast track and will accelerate even more this summer when he makes his Tour de France debut alongside Tadej Pogačar. He will be the Slovenian’s understudy, his apprentice and domestique. If Pogačar struggles during or after the Tour de France, then Ayuso will be ready to step up and play an even bigger role.

UAE Team Emirates also have Adam Yates and João Almeida in their 2024 Tour de France long list, but Ayuso arguably offers more potential. He is still only 21 but was third in the 2022 Vuelta a Espana and fourth last year after a disrupted season.

He was unable to match Jonas Vingegaard on the Tirreno-Adriatico climbs but that only gave him more motivation for the four months before this year’s Tour de France.

“If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. To have these opportunities to race against the best riders in the world is very nice and motivating,” Ayuso told Cyclingnews in Italy.

“I wanted to get to know the Tour this year, the team thought it was a good idea, so that's the plan for 2024.

“The Tour is the biggest dream cyclists can have, and I think I moved one step forward last year. I’m a bit closer now to the guys that are at the top. With the winter and during the season before the Tour, I hope I can climb another big step and be ready.

6. Adam Yates

  • Tour experience: 7 appearances. 3rd overall in 2024, 4th overall in 2016
  • 2024 results: 1st & stage win Tour of Oman. DNF UAE Tour

Yates’ podium finish at last year’s Tour demonstrated that he is more than simply a luxury domestique, but a potential auxiliary leader should mishap befall Pogačar.

The Briton enjoyed a career year in his first season at UAE Team Emirates, winning the UAE Tour, Tour de Romandie and the Grand Prix de Montréal, and he started his 2024 campaign on a similarly buoyant note by conquering Green Mountain to take overall victory at the Tour of Oman.

The concussion sustained in a crash at the UAE Tour , however, has since arrested Yates’ progress. UAE Team Emirates took Yates out of that race as soon as the extent of his injury became clear, and, sagely, they also kept him out of the line-up for Tirreno-Adriatico.

It’s not yet certain when Yates will return to action. With Pogačar leading the line for UAE at the Volta a Catalunya, the Briton might be held back for Itzulia Basque Country or even the Tour de Romandie.

7. Simon Yates

  • Team: Jayco-AlUla
  • Tour experience: 6 appearances. 4th overall 2024. Two stage wins in 2019
  • 2024 results: 7th at Tour Down Under, 1st & stage win AlUla Tour

Like his brother, Simon Yates picked up a win on the Arabian Peninsula in February with a sponsor-pleasing victory at the Alula Tour . As ever in Saudi Arabia, there wasn’t considerable depth in the field, but winning is a useful habit nonetheless, and Yates overcame UAE’s strength in numbers to claim the concluding stage and final overall victory.

Having begun his campaign early with seventh overall at the Tour Down Under, Yates opted against racing Paris-Nice or Tirreno-Adriatico. Instead, the Briton will ride both the Volta a Catalunya and Itzulia Basque, giving himself a chance to measure himself against all of the ‘Big Four’ across the two events.

Vingegaard, Pogačar et al may be on a different level from Yates, but the 31-year-old remains a consistent yet strangely underrated performer. Expect him to be in the mix in late March and April.

8. Sepp Kuss

  • Tour experience: Four appearances. 12th overall in 2023. Stage winner in 2021
  • 2024 results: 6th at Clásica Jaén, 8th at Volta ao Algarve, DNF at Strade Bianche

Victory at last year’s Vuelta a España has surely changed Kuss’ ambitions for the summer, but it doesn’t appear to have unduly altered his approach to the early season.

While others at Visma-Lease A Bike – chiefly Vingegaard, Matteo Jorgenson and Jan Tratnik – have made fast starts to 2024, Kuss has been solid rather than spectacular in his first outings of the new campaign.

Kuss was sixth at the Clásica Jaén and he looked assured on the explosive summit finishes at the Volta ao Algarve, though a poor time trial restricted him to eighth overall. He was rather less impressive in abandoning Strade Bianche a week later, but the gravel event was something like bonus territory for the American.

A truer indication of his form will come when he races on familiar terrain at the Volta a Catalunya. In the absence of Vingegaard, it’s also a clear opportunity for Kuss to take the reins of leadership before he links up with the Dane for the first time this season at next month’s Itzulia Basque Country. 

The chasing pack

The 'Big Four' dominate pre-Tour discussion, but the early weeks of the season have again suggested that the road to victory in July will again run through two teams - Visma-Lease A Bike and UAE Team Emirates. For most of the rest of the peloton, there is a gap to be bridged.

Carlos Rodríguez is nominally Ineos’ leader for the Tour after his fifth place finish last year, but the Spaniard has been anonymous in the opening weeks of the season, placing 31st at O Gran Camiño and 28th at Paris-Nice.

His teammate Egan Bernal has been much more impressive. After impressing for the Colombian national team at the Tour Colombia, he proceeded to place third overall at O Gran Camiño and seventh at Paris-Nice. It’s not clear if Bernal will even ride the Tour, far less lead Ineos there, but it is heartening to see his steady, upward trajectory two years on from his life-threatening training crash.

David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), on the other hand, will be feeling the pressure after a disastrous Paris-Nice. Twelve months ago, the Frenchman raised his expectations for the Tour by placing second overall in Nice. This time out, his race unravelled when he crashed on the penultimate climb towards Mont Brouilly, and he was a non-starter on the final day. He will hope his season finally ignites at Itzulia Basque Country.

Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) was mightily impressive at the Tour Colombia, winning the toughest stage to the Alto del Vino, but the Olympic champion has not yet caught the eye in Europe, finishing well off the pace at O Gran Camiño and crashing out at Tirreno-Adriatico. He usually times things just right for Grand Tours, mind, and he has designs on making an impression at the Ardennes Classics this Spring.

Enric Mas (Movistar) made his season debut at Tirreno-Adriatico, though he was nowhere to be seen when Vingegaard started running through his repertoire later in the week. The Spaniard ended the race in 12th overall, but he will hope to be more prominent at the Volta a Catalunya.

The most impressive member of the chasing pack, however, has been Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe). The Australian is set for a luxury domestique role in Roglič’s service at the Tour, but his performance and third place overall at Tirreno-Adriatico suggested a man ready to step into a leadership role if required. The 2022 Giro champion will head to Itzulia Basque Country next month with real intent.

Stage Detail

vip tour de france 2024

Florence > Rimini

It’s rare for the Tour de France to start with more than 3,600 metres of climbing – in fact it’s never happened before! – and it’s also the first time that the race has visited the home city of Gino Bartali. The succession of hills in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna are likely to be the setting for an immediate and testing confrontation between the contenders for the title, particularly the climb into San Marino (7.1km at 4.8%), where the race will add a 13th name to its catalogue of foreign visits.

Cesenatico > Bologna

The passage across the Emilia-Romagna region is straightforward enough to begin with as it takes the peloton to Imola and its famous motor racing circuit. The final part of the stage, featuring the climb to the Sanctuary of San Luca (1.9km at 10.6%), the traditional finale of the Giro dell’Emilia, which will be tackled twice in the final 40km, offers fertile terrain for the peloton’s puncheurs.

Piacenza > Turin

The sprinters will have started the 2024 Tour with their teeth gritted, but now they’ll have something to sink them into with the finish in Turin. Prior to that, the peloton will pay a passing tribute to Fausto Coppi by heading through Tortone, where il campionissimo died. By that point, though, the sprinters’ domestiques will already be hard at work, their focus on ensuring a sprint finale. There’ll be little room for manoeuvre for the breakaway riders.

Pinerolo > Valloire

The race leaves Italy after a long climb to the resort of Sestrières, where Coppi triumphed in 1952, the border subsequently reached at the Col de Montgenèvre. Then, after ascending the Lautaret pass, the riders will tackle the 2,642-metre Galibier. This will be the first opportunity for the favourites to test themselves in the high mountains.

Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne > Saint-Vulbas

The race’s temporary exit from the Alps will be made via Chambéry. Soon after, the peloton will be in La Bridoire, where the finish of the Classique des Alpes Juniors is regularly held. That’s a race for climbers, but they won’t get a look-in here as they head for Saint-Vulbas. After the Côte de l’Huis, tackled with 34km remaining, the wide roads beyond will be ideal for keeping a close eye on the breakaway riders. The winner’s bouquet looks destined to go to a sprinter.

Mâcon > Dijon

Fans of medieval architecture will be treated to aerial images of Cluny Abbey and much more. The breakaway will set off with the ambition of holding off the peloton’s pursuit though the vineyards of the Côte Chalonnaise, but the sprinters should have the last word on the 800-metre straight into the prefecture of the Côte-d’Or.

Nuits-Saint-Georges > Gevrey-Chambertin

Individual time-trial

Great wines for great riders! But before venturing into the heart of the vineyards, the time trial specialists will spend almost two-thirds of this time trial on forest roads. The climb of the Côte de Curtil-Vergy (1.6km at 6.1%), which comes in the final section, will test their tolerance to pain. On the face of it, there shouldn’t be any big gaps between the best riders, but who knows?

Semur-en-Auxois > Colombey-les-deux-Églises

Although no altitude records will be broken, the first two-thirds of this stage does feature five categorised climbs. The relentless ups and downs may put a strain on the legs at the point when the sprinters’ team-mates are starting to think about setting up a bunch finish. But the last three kilometres of the final straight, which rise slightly but steadily, could be the ideal place to bring the peloton back together.

Troyes > Troyes

The Tour’s first week concludes with a new feature: white roads, which are already an emblematic feature of Strade Bianche and Paris-Tours. The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift made the first passage across Champagne’s gravel roads close to Troyes in 2022. There will be 14 sectors, including six in the final part of the stage, extending to 32km in total, each sector pitching the riders onto the gravel and into the dust.

Orléans > Saint-Amand-Montrond

Heading through the Sologne forest, it’ll be difficult to predict the outcome of this stage, as the weather may play a significant role. After leaving Issoudun, the riders will find themselves on roads exposed to the crosswinds that scattered the peloton a decade ago. With three changes of direction in the last 30 kilometres, there’s a real chance of echelons forming.

Évaux-les-Bains > Le Lioran

There’s only one stage across the rugged Massif Central, but what a stage it is! With 4,350 metres of vertical gain, the riders will have to be on their mettle at all times, and particularly in the final 50 kilometres, when the degree of difficulty rises a level with a series of very challenging obstacles: the climb to the Col de Néronne, then to the Puy Mary Pas de Peyrol with its fearsome final two kilometres, then continuing on to the Col de Pertus, the Col de Font de Cère and the ascent to Le Lioran. They provide all manner of opportunities for eager climbers to attack.

Aurillac > Villeneuve-sur-Lot

The aesthetic landscapes of the Cantal and Lot regions won’t distract the baroudeurs (breakaway specialists) from the knowledge that there’s something for them to play for. The terrain here is all hills, with the climb to Rocamadour standing out – it’ll be tackled in the opposite direction to the route taken by the 2022 Tour time trial. The second part of the stage is more suited to the sprinters’ teams that are set on chasing the break down. However, on two previous and similar stages into Villeneuve-sur-Lot, the breakaway managed to hold off its pursuers.

The Lot-et-Garonne serves up some lovely balcony roads early in the stage, when the formation of the breakaway will be closely monitored by the sprinters’ teams, who will have studied the route carefully. If they judge their effort correctly, they won’t be caught out by the day’s escapees. However, amidst the hilly terrain approaching the finish, the Blachon and Simacourbe climbs could pose a problem for those sprinters who don’t feel comfortable in the hills.

Pau > Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d’Adet

The dynamic format of the first Pyrenean stage is accentuated by the fact that battle is unlikely to commence until the riders have gone through Lourdes. From that point, with 80 kilometres remaining, there’ll be a festival of climbing, featuring the Col du Tourmalet, the Hourquette d’Ancizan and the climb to Pla d’Adet. Fifty years on, the finish line will be exactly where it was when Raymond Poulidor celebrated victory in the 1974 Tour.

Loudenvielle > Plateau de Beille

The third Sunday of the Tour could prove crucial. Whatever’s happened on the previous days in the mountains, the terrain on this stage is ripe for revenge or confirmation, with 4,850 metres of vertical gain on the menu over almost 200 kilometres of racing. All manner of scenarios could play out, and it’s not unrealistic to imagine that team-mates of the GC contenders will attempt to infiltrate the breakaway climbing the Peyresourde. That would prove invaluable given what lies ahead, especially in a finale that features the climbs of the Col d’Agnes and the Port de Lers followed by the final haul up to Plateau de Beille.

Gruissan > Nimes

The sprinters may be heavily tipped for success when the race heads away from the coast near Narbonne, and maybe even when the riders pass over the Pic Saint-Loup. But the Mistral can blow fiercely at this time of year and could well upset the plans of the sprinters if those teams that feel at home when it’s windy end up scattering the peloton.

Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux > Superdévoluy

As the race homes in on the southern Alps, there will be no significant obstacles crossing the Drôme. The tests beyond that, though, are likely to encourage the formation of a large breakaway group, whose members will have a chance to shine, assuming they can deal with the climbs in the final 40 kilometres. We’ll get a clearer idea of this on the ascent of the Col Bayard, although the final selection should be made on the Col du Noyer (7.5km at 8.4%), with the final decision coming on the approach to the Superdévoluy ski station.

Gap > Barcelonnette

The altimeter drops temporarily, although the sprinters will still have to go right to their limits in order to claim the final bouquet within their grasp. That’s down to the fact that once the peloton has admired Lake Serre-Ponçon, the day’s attackers will have a few hills to exploit as they seek to maintain their lead. A strong puncheur might be able to go clear on the Côte de Saint-Apollinaire, and they’ll even more opportunity to do so on the Côte des Demoiselles Coiffées.

Embrun > Isola 2000

The menu for this ultra-mountain stage could well make you dizzy, but it’ll also whet the appetite of the very best climbers. Although the stage is less than 150km long, the riders will climb above 2,000 metres on three occasions, the biggest test the climb to the summit of La Bonette, the highest road in France at an altitude of 2,802 metres. Its 360-degree panorama is breath-taking.

Nice > Col de la Couillole

The Paris-Nice regulars will be racing over familiar terrain, but that won’t make things any easier if the contest for the Yellow Jersey is still raging, particularly over such a short distance. Battle could commence as early as the climb to the Col de Braus. There will then be no respite on the climbs of the Cols de Turini, de la Colmiane and finally de la Couillole, the final ascent extending for 15.7km at an average gradient of 7.1%. We’ll all be holding our breath!

Monaco > Nice

Everyone remembers the last occasion the Tour finished with a time trial, when Greg LeMond stripped the yellow jersey from the shoulders of Laurent Fignon on the Champs-Élysées in 1989, by just eight seconds. Thirty-five years on, we can but dream of a similar duel, involving two or three riders, an authentic athletic confrontation whose outcome would determine the final podium of the 111th edition, and the first to finish far from its familiar Parisian setting, the ultimate finale destined for Place Masséna, just a few pedal-strokes from the Promenade des Anglais.

DAY 1 – TUESDAY 16 JULY 2019

Arrival day – toulouse blagnac airport. la ville rose and sunflowers loop ride, welcome to france.

Airport pick up:  10am Toulouse Blagnac Airport Arrival day ride departs:  1pm Distance:  50km. Climbing:  250m TdF Race:  Rest Day Albi Welcome dinner: 7.30pm Accommodation: Toulouse City Centre – 1 of 2 nights

About our day:

Welcome to Ride International’s Tour de France trip! We start our trip in la Ville Rose (the “Pink City”), Toulouse, named because of the extensive use of pinkish terracotta bricks in the local architecture. Toulouse is well-known for many things, but for cyclists, it is probably best-known for being just a short drive from some of the best cycling in the French Pyrenees.

You have the option of meeting us at our team hotel, or meeting us at the airport before we take a short transfer to our hotel.

We’ll contain our excitement on day one, which a short ride to get to know each other and make sure the bikes and bodies are all in order for the week ahead.

Non-cycling options:

Ask us for some options based on your personal interests, we have some great recommendations in Toulouse, it’s a beautiful city rich in culture, history, markets, a good artisan coffee roaster – coffee shop and fantastic shopping.

ri-bike3-55

Our Ride: La Ville Rose and sunflowers loop

Ride – starts 1pm

After we’ve settled in we’ll head out for an afternoon loop ride. We will head out of Toulouse onto some country roads through rural areas for some sunflower spotting en route. We’ll return via a touristic route past the Canal du Midi and through the small streets of Toulouse’s old town back to our hotel. Today’s ride is a relaxed one to ensure you and your bike are working well.

DAY 2 – WEDNESDAY 17 JULY 2019

Tour de tarn ride plus tour de france race start albi. ride back to toulouse – intersect the race at a key point en rout e.

Breakfast:  7am Depart hotel: 7:45am  Ride start:  9:30am Distance:  40km, 85km, 120km  Climbing:  200m – 750m TdF Race: Albi / Toulouse 167km Accommodation: Toulouse City Centre – 2 of 2 nights

We jump straight into the action on day two and see the Tour de France twice as it snakes its way from Albi to Toulouse – first at the stage depart  and then as it nears the finish.

Seeing Le Tour stage  depart and watching it pass through smaller French towns is a very different experience, and provides an interesting contrast, to the high-intensity mountain racing that we’ll see later in our tour. We’ll have the luxury of seeing the riders relax before what is expected to be a low-stress stage, and then we’ll get to see an otherwise quiet French town come alive as the race flies through it in the closing stages of the race, rubbing shoulders with locals.

We’ll increase our ride distance today but the route will be relatively flat to allow you to find your legs for the climbing to come in the coming days.

Ask us for some options based on your personal interests, we have some great recommendations.

Ride – starts 9:30am

We’ll take a transfer from our Toulouse hotel to our ride start point on the lovely Tarn River. From there we will follow the river approximately 40km to the Tour de France race start in Albi. After taking in the race start we’ll mount our bikes again and take a more direct ride route to Toulouse. We’ll intersect the Tour de France race route as it nears the finish, as it passes through one of the smaller French villages where we can relax, watch the race finish on TV and return to our hotel on our bikes via sections of the race route to Toulouse.

 TdF Race: Albi / Toulouse 167km 

Free Program, let us know your preferred dining style, food types and we’ll point you in the right direction, Toulouse has a vast array of eateries, bars and restaurants.

Toulouse City Centre – 2 of 2 nights

French market

DAY 3 – THURSDAY 18 JULY 2019

Ride the final 80km of todays tour de france high mountain stage.

Breakfast:  7am Depart hotel: 7:45am  Ride start:  10:30am Distance:  60km, 85km, 105km  Climbing:  2000m TdF Race: Toulouse / Bagnères-de-Bigorre 202km Accommodation: Pyrenees – Lourdes Spa and Bike Hotel – 1 of 3 nights

Today we hit the cols! We’ll take a morning transfer to the French Pyrenees, where you will get your first taste of some serious hills on this year’s tour.

We’ll ride the final part of the Tour de France stage before the riders and will see the race at or near the finish. While coming mid-way through the Tour de France, this is the first Pyrenean stage of this year’s Tour de France and it is sure to be exciting to watch as the riders test each others’ fatigue levels as they head into the second part of the race.

We’ll also need to keep our fatigue levels in mind as we head into a series of decent climbing days, with this one just being something of an entrée.

Ride – starts 10:30am 

After our transfer from Toulouse, we’ll ride the final 80km of today’s Tour de France medium mountain stage. This will take us over the Col du Peyresourde (where Chris Froome launched his memorable ‘descent attack’ on stage 8 of the 2016 Tour to win the stage) and then the Hourquette d’Ancizan before we ride to the race finish area in Bagneres de Bigorre.

After the Tour de France race finish you can choose to ride the ‘mostly downhill’ route back to our chic Spa and Bike hotel in Lourdes in the Pyrenees, or you can save the legs and take a short transfer back.

 TdF Race: Toulouse / Bagnères-de-Bigorre 202km 

7.45pm:   Meet in the hotel lobby for dinner at our hotel.

Pyrenees – Lourdes Spa and Bike Hotel – 1 of 3 nights

Peyresourde

DAY 4 – FRIDAY 19 JULY 2019

Col du solour – col d’aubisque high mountain loop.

Breakfast:  7am Ride departs hotel:  8am Distance:  30km, 45km, 90km (optional riding extras: Hautacam ski station +30km / 1200m)  Climbing: 1200m – 2400m TdF Race: Pau / Pau Time Trial 27km Accommodation: Pyrenees – Lourdes Spa and Bike Hotel – 2 of 3 nights

While Lourdes is famous the world over for its holy water and associated religious pilgrimages, we like it because it is at the gateway to one of the most magical cycling valleys in the French Pyrenees. Today we’ll dive right in, departing from our hotel for an incredible day in the mountains.

We’ll take in two legendary cols, the Col du Solour and the Col d’Aubisque for a relatively short loop but one that is big on elevation and spectacular scenery.This is high mountain cycling at its very best, wild horses, sheep and goats are free to roam the pastures up here. For those wanting a few more kilometres, there is an optional extra ride up the Hautacam.

Ride – starts 8am

Today we’ll ride from the door of our hotel and ascend two of the most famous cols in the Pyrenees – the Col du Solour, then traverse across to the Col d’Aubisque. We’ll pause for snack, coffee or maybe even lunch at one of the chalets prior to heading back across to the Col du Soluor. We then loop back to Lourdes after a big day out in the Pyrenees. We’ll be back in time to watch the finish of the Tour de France time trial live on TV.

Riding Extras: If you’re still feeling great after the Col d’Aubisque and Solour and need extras on the day – we’ll point you in the direction of the famously tough Hautacam climb. This climb can be found just off our route back to Lourdes. While it will only add approximately 30km (and 1200m altitude) to your day, the gradients of the Hautacam are tough and this little side-trip will likely take well over two hours to complete!

 TdF Race: Pau / Pau Time Trial 27km 

Free program:  Let us know your preferred dining style, food types and we’ll point you in the right direction, Lourdes has a vast array of eateries, bars (even a great Belgian bar), restaurants and the best gelato outside of Italy.

Pyrenees – Lourdes Spa and Bike Hotel – 2 of 3 nights

Aubisque

DAY 5 – SATURDAY 20 JULY 2019

Col du tourmalet loop, see the race on the lower slopes.

Breakfast:  7am Depart hotel: 8am  Ride start:  9am Distance:  55km, 65km, 80km, 105km Climbing: 750m – 2300m TdF Race: Tarbes / Tourmalet 117km Accommodation: Pyrenees – Lourdes Spa and Bike Hotel – 3 of 3 nights

Today we ride the Col du Tourmalet! One of the most famous climbs in the French Pyrenees, the Tourmalet is a big and beautiful climb – one that every serious cyclist should tick off in their lifetime. We’ll tackle it from the eastern side, hit the summit and descend down the other side to watch the Tour de France tear onto the lower slopes as it tackles the Tourmalet in the opposite direction.

Ride starts 9am 

Depending on how your legs are feeling, you can choose where to start your day along our route: Bagnères-de-Bigorre, Campan, Sainte Marie De Campan or La Mongie. Regardless of the start point, our route will take in the Col du Tourmalet loop in a clockwise direction and we’ll tackle the great Tourmalet from the eastern side.

Having summited the highest paved road in the Pyrenees, we’ll then take the winding descent to the picturesque valley town of Luz-Saint-Sauveur. There we’ll watch the race live on TV as it approaches, before stepping out to the roadside to see it charge onto the lower slopes of the Col du Tourmalet. Then, we’ll ride the mostly-downhill route back to Lourdes to complete our loop, finishing on a quiet and gentle local bike path that will feel a million miles away from the hallowed slopes of the Tourmalet.

 TdF Race: Tarbes / Tourmalet 117km 

Suggested Sports Recovery Drink: Anything dark from the Belgian beer bar near the bridge over the river in town.

Free program : Let us know your preferred dining style, food types and we’ll point you in the right direction again. Lourdes is great for bars and restaurants. (Have you tried the gelato yet?)

Pyrenees – Lourdes Spa and Bike Hotel – 3 of 3 nights

Col du Tourmalet

DAY 6 – SUNDAY 21 JULY 2019

Medieval citadel – gorge ride and dinner at our chateau.

Breakfast:  7am Depart hotel: 8am  Ride start:  3:30pm Distance:  30km, 60km Climbing: 600m – 950m TdF Race: Limoux / Foix 185km Accommodation: Provence – Mazan Chateau Hotel – 1 of 2 Nights

We are transferring from the Pyrenees to the Alps today, and will break the transfer up with a stop-in at the medieval citadel of Carcassonne. There we’ll stretch the legs and explore this historic village. We’ll then complete our transfer across to the base of the Giant of Provence – Mont Ventoux – in Mazan. After we’ve settled in to our chateau, we’ll head out for an afternoon ride to ease ourselves into the Alps.

Ride – starts 3:30pm

With a few days of solid climbing under our belt, and with plenty more to come, we’ll give the bodies and legs a well-earned rest and take in a leisurely ride along the beautiful and breathtaking roads of the Gorge de la Nesque, near our hotel in Mazan. What this ride lacks in distance and elevation, it more than makes up for in spectacular scenery.

 TdF Race: Limoux / Foix 185km 

Suggested Sports Recovery Drink:  Ice cold Cote du Rhone Rose.

7:30pm: Three course dinner including regional Ventoux and Cote du Rhone wine at our chateau.

DAY 7 – SUNDAY 22 JULY 2019

Mont ventoux – celebration dinner and drinks at our chateau.

Breakfast:  7am Depart hotel: 7: 45am  Ride start:  8:30am Distance:  30km, 45km, 60km (Optional riding extras: Fancy a double ascent of Mont Ventoux?  Add 42km and 1550m)  Climbing: 2100m TdF Race: Rest Day Accommodation: Provence – Mazan Chateau Hotel – 2 of 2 nights

While the Tour de France has a rest day scheduled, there will be little rest for us as we will be tackling the most famous climb in cycling – Mont Ventoux!

After a short morning transfer to the town of Bédoin, we will have a number of options available for you to reach the summit of the Giant of Provence. We’ll have all day, so we can take our time and really soak up this magical mountain.

Ride starts 8:30am

It’s not called the ‘Giant of Provence’ for nothing, and we’ll have a number of ride options available so that everyone can tackle a route they are comfortable with and make it to the summit.

You can choose to climb the full 22km, or tackle shorter options of 18km, 10km or 6km (from Chalet Reynard) to the the top. Each of these options will pass by the Tom Simpson memorial en route to the top.

From the top of Mount Ventoux, it’s a lovely run down to Malaucene where a coffee, snack or lunch will revitalise you. If you are keen for more, you’ll have the option of tackling Mont Ventoux for a second time, from Malaucene. Alternatively, if one summit of the most famous climb in cycling is enough for you, you can leave Malaucene bound for Bédoin to finish our loop. From here you have the choice to cycle back to our chateau or travel in the vehicle.

 TdF Race: Rest Day 

Suggested Sports Recovery Drink: After a fantastic day on the Giant of Provence, it’s a tough choice between a cold local craft beer or a G&T, either one will have you rehydrated quickly and ready to go again tomorrow.

7:30pm : We’ll have dinner, including local wines, at our chateau.

Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard wins the weeklong Tirreno-Adriatico race

SAN BENEDETTO DEL TRONTO, Italy — Two-time defending Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard secured overall victory in the weeklong Tirreno-Adriatico race on Sunday after winning the two big climbing stages.

Showing strong early season form, the Danish rider with the Visma team has now won both races he’s entered in 2024, after also taking the overall title and winning three of the four stages in the Gran Camino in Spain last month.

After winning the sea-to-sea race, Vingegaard raised the giant trophy shaped like Neptune’s three-pronged trident.

“Neptune’s trident is one of the best and most iconic trophies in cycling,” Vingegaard said. “It’s perfect for an ex-fisherman like me.”

It was a strong response to Tadej Pogacar’s dominating win in the Strade Bianche last weekend. Pogacar finished second behind Vingegaard at the Tour the last two years after winning cycling’s biggest race in 2020 and 2021. The pair likely won’t race against each other again until this year’s Tour starts in Florence, Italy, on June 29.

While Pogacar has added the Giro d’Italia to his program for this season, Vingegaard is still centering his season around the Tour.

“I like racing in Italy,” Vingegaard said. “I don’t rule out trying to win the Giro in the future.”

Vingegaard finished 1 minute, 24 seconds ahead of Spanish rider Juan Ayuso and 1:52 ahead of Jai Hindley, the 2022 Giro champion from Australia.

Vingegaard won the fifth and sixth stages.

With American rider Matteo Jorgenson winning the Paris-Nice stage race on Sunday, Visma became the first team to win Paris-Nice and the Tirreno-Adriatico in the same year.

Italian rider Jonathan Milan with Lidl-Trek won the seventh and final Tirreno stage in a sprint finish for his second victory of the race after also taking the fourth leg. Alexander Kristoff and Davide Cimolai finished second and third, respectively.

Richard Carapaz, the Ecuadorean who won the 2019 Giro and gold at the Tokyo Olympics , abandoned the race after a fall.

The next major race is the Milan-San Remo next Saturday, although Vingegaard does not plan to enter the single-day classic.
