“Symbol of the mountains, of a rider pushing beyond their limits and of courage, the red polka dot jersey, which is sponsored by Carrefour, is awarded to the Tour de France’s leader of the best climber classification. Although this classification was introduced in 1933, its symbol, the polka dot jersey, appeared in 1975, which was also the year the Tour first finished on the Champs-Élysées and was won by Bernard Thévenet. It owes its appearance to track racing specialist Henri Lemoine, who competed between the 1930s and 1950s, and that Félix Lévitan, co-director of the Tour with Jacques Goddetwhich, had particularly noticed. While Belgium’s Lucien Van Impe was its first winner and claimed the mountains classification six times, just like his illustrious predecessor, Spain’s Federico Bahamontes, the so-called “Eagle of Toledo”, Frenchman Richard Virenque holds the record for victories with seven titles” ( Tour de France, Polka Dot Jersey ).

EXPLANATION OF KING OF MOUNTAIN, KOM POINTS, AND BONUS POINTS

FOR THE 2024 TOUR DE FRANCE

KOM DEFINED :  Climb-related points are accumulated during the race.  The rider with the most accumulated points at the beginning of the stage wears the red polka dot jersey that day, and the rider with the most points at the end of the race is crowned that year’s Tour de France King of the Mountains.

“ Category ”:   When the mountain classification (King of the Mountains) was introduced in 1933, there were points given to the first 10 riders over the summit (10 for first, 1 for tenth).  In 1947, the Tour introduced two climb “categories” with a certain amount of points for the second category and twice as many as for the first category.  Over the years “categories” were added, in addition to an “Above” category (Hors or HC) and since 1979 there have been a HC (hardest), Category 1 (second hardest) on down to Category 4 (least difficult climb).

The category of the climb is significant for two reasons:

• The points awarded for the TdF KOM for each climb is based upon the category of climb - thus, “category” is the basis for the points that are used to determine each year’s King of the Mountains.
• Most cycling fans, particularly Grand Tour fans, are very interested in the climb “category” because that tells them how hard each climb on a stage is, where the riders will struggle more, and the point in a stage where that day, or even the entire tour, will be won or lost.

KOM HISTORY :  

• King of the Mountains : Mountain Classification victories (first recognized in 1933; jersey introduced 1975)
• 2020 & 2021 King of the Mountains:   Tadej Pogačar , Slovenia (also won the TdF and the Young Rider classification)
• 2022 -  Jonas Vingegaard (NED) - also won TdF.
• 2023 - Giulio Ciccone  (ITA)

POINTS :  KOM points are awarded in three ways on the Tour de France:

•  To riders first over the summit of categorized climbs (in descending order HC, 1-4).  
• The higher the category the more riders receive points (HC points are awarded to eight riders, while CAT 4 points are awarded to only one rider).
• Bonus point (see below).
• Points for altitude finishes.

TDF POINTS FORMULA : Wikipedia has the best summary and graph we’ve seen for TdF KOM points distribution:

The points gained by consecutive riders reaching a mountain top are distributed according to the following classification:

Wikipedia - Mountains Classification - Tour de France

BONUS POINTS :  These points go towards the King of the Mountain designation and are awarded to the first (8 points), second (5 points), and third (2 points) riders reaching designated summits in the race.  

• There are no KOM bonuses in the 2022 Tour de France.  

MONEY PRIZES FOR KING OF THE MOUNTAINS

• Prize for first to eighth place:
• Winner = €25,000

• 3rd = €10,000
• 4th = €4,000
• 5th = €3,500
• 6th = €3,000
• 7th = €2,500
• 8th = €2,000
• Daily prize for wearing the Polka Dot jersey = €6,000
• Per category climb:
• Souvenir Henri Desgrange €5000 first to Col du Galibier pass Stage 11.

The maximum amount the KOM winner could earn if he won every stage and wore the jersey from Stage 2 to the finish is $60,300 Euros (62,773 USD)

Tour de France 2024 stage-by-stage guide: Route maps and profiles for all 21 days

The 2024 Tour de France will be a truly unique race when it begins in Florence on Saturday and ends – for the first time in its 121-year history – outside Paris .

This year’s Tour will wrap up without the usual procession to the Champs-Elysees, where security resources will be focused on the Paris Olympics starting five days later. Instead, organisers have opted to end the race with an individual time-trial in Nice, adding the possibility of the yellow jersey changing hands on a dramatic final day.

Before that, riders face a typically gruelling challenge, with a hilly start in Italy before crossing to France where a perilous gravel stage awaits in Troyes. Week two leads the peloton south to the Pryenees and the monstrous Col du Tourmalet, before a series of days in the Alps including a particularly brutal stage 19 with a summit finish in Isola.

It all concludes in Nice on Sunday 21 July, where the race winner will be crowned.

Stage 1: Florence to Rimini (hilly, 206km) | Saturday 29 June

The opening stage of the 2024 Tour de France will be a beautiful ride, starting with the Grand Depart on the banks of the Arno river in the centre of Florence before heading through Tuscany to the finish line on Italy’s east coast, on the beachfront of Rimini. The route also takes in San Marino, the Tour’s 13th country. But it will be tough on what is the most hilly first stage in the race’s history with 3,600m of climbing to conquer. It could be a day for Tadej Pogacar to immediately make his mark, or for an outstanding classics rider like Mathieu van der Poel to target, while young puncheurs like Ireland’s Ben Healy and Belgium’s Maxim Van Gils could be outside bets.

Stage 1: Romain Bardet shakes off peloton to finally claim yellow jersey

Stage 2: Cesenatico to Bologna, (hilly, 199km) | Sunday 30 June

The second day throws up a more gentle ride, though it still contains six categorised climbs to test the legs. The purest sprinters will get left behind but the small ascents are unlikely to put off the more hardy fast men, like Wout van Aert , who will like the look of the fast finish in Bologna.

Stage 3: Plaisance to Turin (flat, 231km) | Monday 1 July

The long third stage will be the first opportunity for a bunch sprint to the finish line. Expect Alpecin-Deceuninck to try and control the final kilometres in an effort to position Jasper Philipsen for the win, but there is a stacked list of sprinters ready to challenge him including Arnaud de Lie, Dylan Groenewegen, Sam Bennett, Wout van Aert and Mark Cavendish, chasing a record 35th stage win to finally eclipse the great Eddy Merckx.

Stage 4: Pinerolo to Valloire (mountainous, 140km) | Tuesday 2 July

A tough fourth stage takes the riders into France via a couple of testing category-two climbs and to the foot of the Col du Galibier – the first hors categorie ascent of the race. The gradient averages only 5.3% but at 23km long, it is a draining slog of a climb to the top and the strongest climbers will come to the fore. Expect some attacks among the big hitters like Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard as we get our first real sense of the battle for overall victory.

Stage 5: Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to Saint-Vulbas (flat, 177km) | Wednesday 3 July

The second sprint finish of this year’s Tour contains some small hills but nothing that should disrupt the power riders from reaching the finish near the front, where they will expect to battle for victory.

Stage 6: Macon to Dijon (flat, 163km) | Thursday 4 July

An even flatter day looks ripe for a bunch sprint on the streets of Dijon. One small categorised climb early in the stage precedes an intermediate sprint which might be targeted by those hunting the green jersey, and a breakaway will almost certainly then take to the front of the race. But it is likely to be caught by the sprinters’ teams before the finish as the peloton’s power riders fight for the stage win.

Stage 7: Nuits-Saint-Georges to Gevrey-Chambertin, (ITT, 25km) | Friday 5 July

The first individual time-trial of this year’s Tour de France sweeps through thick forest before opening out into the picturesque vineyards of Burgundy. The only climb is the short Cote de Curtil-Vergy (1.6km at 6.1%), followed by a descent into Gevrey-Chambertin, and here Remco Evenepoel – the reigning time-trial world champion – will plan to take some time from his general classification rivals who are less adept against the clock.

Stage 8: Semur-en-Auxois to Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises (flat, 176km) | Saturday 6 July

It may be officially listed as a flat day, but stage eight contains five categorised climbs and plenty more undulation, along with an uphill drag to the finish which should be enough to shake out some of the pure sprinters from contention. This could be a bunch sprint, a day for the breakaway or even a bold solo attack if the situation presents itself for an opportunist near the front of the race.

Stage 9: Troyes to Troyes (hilly, 199km) | Sunday 7 July

The Tour de France takes on the gravel roads of the Champagne region to see out the first week, and the white dusty terrain could take down a few unfortunate victims. The 14 sections of gravel span 32km in all, and they are similar to the roads of the iconic Italian race, Strade-Bianche. The past winners of Strade-Bianche – Tom Pidcock, Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert and Tadej Pogacar – will fancy their chances here.

Rest day: Orleans | Monday 8 July

Stage 10: Orleans to Saint-Amand-Montrond (flat, 187km) | Tuesday 9 July

The Tour heads down to the centre of France, where on paper it is a nice-looking day for the sprinters, but they will need to stay alert to winds which could split the pack along this twisting route south to Saint-Amand-Montrond in the Loire Valley. A short, sharp climb 8km from the finish could be the launchpad for a brave attack, though the muscle men of the peloton will hope to fight it out against each other at the finish in Saint-Amand-Montrond.

Stage 11: Evaux-les-Bains to Le Lioran, (mountainous, 211km) | Wednesday 10 July

Six categorised climbs pepper a hard up-and-down day through the Massif Central. The third-from-last ascent is the toughest, the Puy Mary Pas de Peyrol (5.4km at 8.1%), with a painfully steep final 2km to conquer, and strong climbing legs will be needed to win the stage. A good day for a breakaway to escape and potentially stay away to the end.

Stage 12: Aurillac to Villeneuve-sur-Lot, (flat, 204km) | Thursday 11 July

The ‘flat’ categorisation disguises the numerous small hills dotted through this picturesque route to Villeneuve which will drain legs if the pace is high. Expect a determined breakaway to make it difficult for those teams hoping to set up a bunch sprint at the finish – twice before, the day has been won by a rider in the breakaway here.

Stage 13: Agen to Pau, (flat, 165km) | Friday 12 July

Pau is a staple of the Tour de France over the years, acting as the gateway to the Pyrenees mountains. The hilly finish to the stage might slow down some of the pure sprinters but they will be determined to reel in a breakaway – especially if they failed to do so a day earlier, and with so much hard climbing to come.

Stage 14: Pau to Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d’Adet, (mountainous, 152km) | Saturday 13 July

The iconic Col du Tourmalet stands in the middle of this mountain stage, with the road peaking at 2,115m above sea level. The 19km climb averages 7.4% gradient and once it’s conquered, two more big climbs await including a summit finish at Pla d’Adet. The GC contenders will surely trade blows on this brutal day.

Stage 15: Loudenvielle to Plateau de Beille (mountainous, 198km) | Sunday 14 July

A nice relaxing weekend in the Pyrenees is rounded off with five climbs over a 200km route, all rated category one or harder. Expect fireworks among the yellow jersey contenders as they race to the finish atop Plateau de Beille.

Rest day: Gruissan | Monday 15 July

Stage 16: Gruissan to Nimes (flat, 189km) | Tuesday 16 July

This is the final chance for the sprinters to bag a stage before the road kicks up into the mountains once more. Those in contention for the win will need to keep their composure as roundabouts punctuate the long final strip into the line in Nimes.

Stage 17: Saint-Paul-Trois-Chateaux to Superdevoluy (mountainous, 178km) | Wednesday 17 July

The peloton reaches the Alps for a day that will be draining as the road tilts from the start. There are bonus seconds to be collected at the top of the category-one Col du Noyer, before a fast descent to a small summit finish which caps a tough second half to this stage.

Stage 18: Gap to Barcelonnette (hilly, 180km) | Thursday 18 July

A breakaway will certainly have a go at escaping up the road to clinch this stage, and they should be able to make it stick. The five official climbs are all category-three ascents which might mean some of the well-rounded sprinters, like Wout van Aert, can clamber over them and be a threat at the finish.

Stage 19: Embrun to Isola 2000 (mountainous, 145km) | Friday 19 July

Perhaps the most eye-catching stage when the 2014 route was unveiled was this one: three monstrous Alpine climbs, back to back, with a summit finish at Isola. The middle climb of the trio is the giant Cime de la Bonette (22.9km at 6.9%), the highest road in France at 2,802m. If the fight for the yellow jersey is still alive at this point in the race, this will be a thrilling stage for the story to unfold.

Stage 20: Nice to Col de la Couillole (mountainous, 133km) | Saturday 20 July

It may be a little shorter at only 133km, but this is another brutally tough mountain stage featuring four climbs and another summit finish, atop the Col de la Couillole, and it is another day when the yellow jersey could be won or lost.

Stage 21: Monaco to Nice (ITT, 34km) | Sunday 21 July

The race will finish without the usual procession through Paris and instead see the riders contest an individual time-trial from Monaco to Nice that could decide the outcome of the Tour. The last time-trial finale saw Greg Lemond pinch the yellow jersey on the Champs-Elysees, beating Laurent Fignon by eight seconds. This route is longer than the stage-seven time-trial, and a little more hilly too, so there is potential for some significant time gaps.

Every stage of the Tour de France has it's appeals to at least some portion of cycling fans, but some will be can't-miss stages. 

Brown noted that the first three stages and the final three stages of the Tour de France will be some of the best cycling of the race. 

"It starts with a bang like last year’s Tour de France," Brown said. "The first stage, there’s climbing, second stage there's climbing… the first two stages are already tough stages (and) Tadej Pogačar is going to come out swinging."

"The third week in the Pyrenees will be really interesting," Brown added. "It’s a terribly steep climb and tough. And then the final three days of this year’s Tour de France are intense because there are two summit finishes. Then, the last day is a time trial."

The 2022 Tour de France Grand Depart  will take place in and around Copenhagen in 2022, with three stages launching the race.

The 2022 Grand Depart is essentially the original 2021 plan before the 2021 start was moved to Brittany owing to COVID-19. So Denmark gets a second shot at it in 2022.

Denmark isn't the only guest country in 2022 - the Tour will also go into Belgium and Switzerland. It'll be the first time since 2017 that 4 countries have featured on the route. 

Climbs are spread across 4 mountain ranges: the Vosges, the Alps (including a foray into Switzerland), the Massif Central and the Pyrenees. In all there are 6  mountain stages, including 5 summit finishes (La Super Planche des Belles Filles, Col du Granon, Alpe d’Huez, Peyragudes and the Hautacam).

The Tour de France race as usual will finish in Paris. For the first time it will coincide with the start of the Tour de France Femmes – see route map and stage overview .

In all the 2022 Tour de France will cover 3328 kilometres of cycling (that's 2067 miles).

2022 official Tour de France route map, 3328km

Specific info on each stage and more detailed maps are also usually published online each May and in the official race program . We'll post links to it when it's released.

We have this page for Tour de France road closure information , which we also update as information comes to hand (usually not from around May onwards).

See here for accommodation near the route (it will also be progressively updated throughout 2022).

Where to find more useful information: Official 2022 Tour de France Race Guide

Stage 1: friday, july 1  – copenhagen, individual time trial, 13km.

A rare Friday Tour de France start has been programmed in to squeeze in a transfer day from Denmark back to France after the first three stages. 

A  completely  flat route through the streets of Danish capital this should be a free flowing time trial at full speed. Perfect for specialists but some GC candidates will need to hang on to minimise time losses. Expect to see lots of images of  The Little Mermaid and Amalienborg, home to Denmark's royal family.

Click to see a larger downloadable PDF map of Stage 1.

Stage 2: Saturday, July 2 – Roskilde to Nyborg, 199km

The second stage will be a challenging ride as teams look to avoid getting caught out by crosswinds. GC riders could concede precious seconds very early in the Tour.

There are three Category 4 climbs in quick succession after Veddinge Bakker at 62km, 72km and 84km.The route then takes a scenic path south along the west coast of Zealand. For 50km there will be a strong chances of crosswinds, which could fragment the peloton even before it reaches the day's showcase section: the Great Belt Fixed Link. Not great for GC contenders but wonderful for audiences at home – standby for multiple helicopter shots of this remarkable feat of engineering.

Click to see a larger downloadable PDF map of Stage 2 .

Stage 3: Sunday, July 3 – Velje to Sønderborg, 182km

A day for the breakaway, with a start through the hills of Vejle the route passes by many UNESCO sights before a likely bunch sprint.

Three categorised climbs feature on the stage 3 route – and there is 1 polka dot point available for the first up top each time. The first climb is Koldingvej (1.4km, 4.4%), just 27km into the stage. The second climb is at the 83km mark with Hejlsminde Strand (850m, 4.7%). It's followed by an intermediate sprint near the UNESCO World Heritage site of Christiansfeld. The breakaway will likely make it beyond the third climb, Genner Strand (1.6km, 3.3%). From here, the peloton should give chase as the race heads into Sønderborg.

Click to see a larger downloadable image of the map for Stage 3 .

Transfer day: Monday, July 4

The Danish start means this year sees an unusual 'transfer' day written into the schedule.  

Stage 4: Tuesday, July 5 – Dunkirk to Calais, 172km

A hilly stage between the Flanders and Boulon climbs. This should be a great one for English fans, with access via two ferry ports. 

Stage 5: Wednesday, July 6 – Lille to Wallers Arenberg Porte du Hainaut, 155km

COBBLES! They're back! There will be 19.4km of slips and spills across 11 sectors of the Hell of the North.

Stage 6: Thursday, July 7 – Binche to Longwy, 220km

The Tour returns to  Longwy, where  Peter Sagan won in 2017.  Includes the Côte de Puiventeux (800m, 12.3%) ahead of the final climb.

Stage 7: Friday, July 8 – Tomblaine to La Super Planche des Belles Filles, 176km

Stage 8: Saturday, July 9 – Dole to Lausanne, 186km

Stage 9: Sunday, July 10 – Aigle to Les Chatel Portes du Soleil, 183km

Rest day: monday, july 11 – morzine.

And breathe!

Stage 10: Tuesday, July 12 – Morzine to Megeve, 148km

Morzine and Megeve are no strangers to the Tour de France route. It''ll be another aviation theme today with the final climb to the  Altiport de Megève. There is also a foray across the border into Switzerland.  

Stage 11: Wednesday, July 13 – Albertville to Col du Granon, 149km

What better prelude could there be to Bastille Day? We have the Col du Télégraphe (11.9 km, 7.1%), the Col du Galibier (17.7km, 6.9%) and the Col du Granon (11.3 km, 9.2%) as the GC contenders come to the fore.

Stage 12: Thursday, July 14 Bastille Day - Briancon to Alpe d'Huez, 166km

The 2022 Tour de France's showcase stage is a repeat of the 1986 Alpe d'Huez stage. Col de la Croix de Fer (29km, 5.2%)? Yep.  Alpe d'Huez (13.8 km, 8.1%)? Yep. And on Bastille Day, too.  

Stage 13: Friday, July 15 – Bourg d'Oisans to Saint-Etienne, 193km

The battle for the green jersey should be back on as the Tour comes down from the mountains.

Stage 14: Saturday, July 16 – Saint-Etienne to Mende, 195km

Stage 15: Sunday, July 17 – Rodez to Carcassonne, 200km

Carcassonne again provides a spectacular backdrop for a fast, flat stage.  Another day for the sprinters. Cavendish fans will remember his 34th Tour stage win here in 2021. 

Rest day: Monday, July 18 – Carcassonne 

Stage 16: tuesday, july 19 – carcassonne to foix, 179km.

A near carbon copy of the 2017 Bastille Day stage won by Warren Barguil. Includes two nice climbs, the Port  de Lers (11.4km, 7%) and Mur de Péguère (9.3 km, 7,9%).

Stage 17: Wednesday, July 20 – Saint-Gaudens to  Peyragudes, 130km

A challenging day in te saddle with the Col d'Aspin (12km, 6.5%), the Hourquette d'Ancizan (8.2 km, 5.1%) and the Col de Val Louron-Azet (10.7km, 6.8%) acting as curtain raisers for a final assault on the runway at Peyragudes (8km, 7.8%).

Stage 18: Thursday, July 21 – Lourdes to Hautacam, 143km

Ouch!! The last 3 climbs of the 2022 Tour de France won't be a welcome sight for sore legs. Say hello to the Col d'Aubisque (16.4km, 7.1%), the Col de Spandelles (10.3km, 8.3%) and the mighty Hautacam (13.6km, 7.8%).

Stage 19: Friday, July 22 – Castelnau-Magnoac to Cahors, 189km

This should be a day for the sprinters unless a sneaky breakaway can stay away.

Stage 20: Saturday, July 23 – Lacapelle Marival to Rocamadour, 40km time trial

If the GC is tight, the yellow jersey may again be decided on the penultimate stage, which is – for the third year running – an individual time trial. Includes two little climbs late on the course:  Côte de Magès (1.6km, 4.7%) and Côte de l'Hospitalet (1.5km, 7%).

Stage 21: Sunday, July 24 – Paris La Défense Arena to  Paris Champs-Elysées, 112km 

On a bumper day for cycling in Paris, the Tour de France will roll into town just after the Tour de France Femmes  has rolled out. 

Time bonuses

The first, second and third riders across the line on each stage will receive a time bonus of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, respectively. .

Bike hire for watching the Tour de France

A reminder that if you need bike hire during the Tour de France you should book early. It ALWAYS sells out and it can be very hard to find quality carbon road bikes closer to the time.  More info here .

Tour de France 2024: TV and streaming, schedule, stages, route, and what to watch for

Cycling’s premier event is about to get underway.

And it will look a little different than in year’s past.

The 2024 Tour de France, the 111th in history, begins on Saturday June 29. However, the starting point for this year’s Tour de France, as well as the finish line, will mark a series of firsts for the event.

To mark 100 years since Ottavio Bottecchia became the first Italian rider to win the Tour de France, this year’s race will begin in Italy, with riders setting off in Florence. The first three stages of this year’s Tour de France will keep riders in Italy, before the Tour’s fourth stage sees riders make the journey from Pinerolo in Italy, to Valloire in France.

In addition, this year’s Tour de France schedule coincides with the 2024 Paris Summer Games, which begin in Paris at the end of July. As such the Tour de France will conclude in Nice, with the final stage of the 2024 Tour de France bringing riders from Monaco to Nice.

This year’s Tour de France also concludes with an individual time trial, the first time the event has concluded with an ITT since 1989. That year saw the legendary duel on the final day between Greg LeMond and Laurent Fignon.

This year’s event has no shortage of storylines, starting with the battle between Dane Jonas Vingegaard, riding for Visma—Lease a Bike, and Slovenian Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates.

Vingegaard is the reigning Tour de France champion, winning in both 2022 and 2023 ahead of his rival Pogačar. But his status for this year’s Tour de France is a huge question mark, as Vingegaard endured a horrific crash at the Tour of Basque Country in April. The Danish cyclist suffered a broken collarbone, several broken ribs, a pulmonary contusion and a pneumothorax as a result of the crash, and spent 12 days in the hospital.

Vingegaard’s questionable form has opened the door for Pogačar to perhaps claim another title. The Slovenian took home the prestigious yellow jersey, the maillot jaune, in both 2020 and 2021; his victory in 2020 at the age of 21 made him the second-youngest winner in race history.

The two are the odds-on favorites to compete for the top spot on the podium again in 2024, but Vingegaard’s recent crash has made his rival the favorite.

Beyond the two favorites, there are some other riders in the field who could challenge for the yellow jersey. Primož Roglič from Slovenia, riding for Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe, is one of the older riders in the field but might have some unfinished business after losing out to fellow Slovenian Pogačar in 2020. Roglič failed to finish in both 2021 and 2022, but won the Critérium du Dauphiné at the start of the month, fending off a late challenge from Matteo Jorgenson from Visma—Lease a Bike.

Remco Evenepoel from Soudal Quick-Step is another rider to watch. The Belgian cyclist suffered a crash of his own at Basque Country, but seemed back in form during the Critérium du Dauphiné when he was part of the chasing pack that put Roglič under pressure in the final stage. Considered one of the sport’s premier time trialists, the schedule sets up well for him with the 2024 Tour de France containing a pair of time trials, including the one on the final day previously mentioned.

For American fans Jorgenson represents your best hope for Tour de France glory. However, his role this year might best be described as “undetermined,” given Vingegaard’s questionable form. Should Vingegaard be healthy Jorgenson may serve as an auxiliary leader for Visma, and one of the sport’s premier domestiques. But if Vingegaard struggles with his health as a result of his recent crash, the 24-year-old could be thrust into a major role. And given his recent performance — including finishing just eight seconds behind Roglič at Dauphiné — he is certainly worth keeping an eye on.

Here is how to watch, a look at each stage, and more.

The 2024 Tour de France map

Here is the official map of the 2024 Tour de France:

You can also view the map on the official Tour de France website.

Stages, dates, and distances for the 2024 Tour de France

Here are the stages for the 2024 Tour de France. According to the official website there are eight stages classified as flat, four stages classified as hilly, seven mountain stages (including four summit finishes: Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d’Adet in Stage 14, Plateau de Beille in Stage 15, Isola 2000 in Stage 19, and Col de la Couillole in Stage 20). There are also two individual time trials, along with a pair of rest days.

Overall, the 2024 Tour e France route covers 3,498 kilometers (2,174 miles) and contains 52,230 meters (171,358 feet) of total vertical climb.

If riders were hoping to ease into the 2024 Tour de France, they have another thing coming. The opening stage of this year’s Tour not only marks the first time the race has started in Italy, but it might be the toughest opening stage in history, featuring 3,600 meters (11,811 feet) of climbing. The final climb into San Marino, featuring over seven kilometers (4.35 miles) of climb at nearly five degrees.

The two toughest stretches are likely Stages 14 and 15, as well as Stages 19 and 20. Not only are all four stages mountain stages — meaning riders will have to conquer the mountains on back-to-back days — but all four stages contain a summit finish: Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d’Adet in Stage 14, Plateau de Beille in Stage 15, Isola 2000 in Stage 19, and Col de la Couillole in Stage 20.

Stage 9 is a very intriguing stage. While it is classified as “hilly” Stage 9, which sees riders start and finish in Troyes, it also contains 14 “white road” sectors. White roads on the Tour de France are dusty, gravel roads that have been a feature of this event.

In addition, the 2024 Tour de France concludes with an Individual Time Trial, the second ITT of this year’s race and the first time the Tour de France will finish in such fashion since the legendary LeMond-Fignon duel in 1989.

Overall Leader: Romain Bardet, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL

Romain Bardet, aided in large part by his Team dsm-firmenich PostNL teammate Frank Van den Broek, captured the difficult first stage of the 2024 Tour de France on Saturday. For Bardet, who is competing in his final Tour de France after announcing his upcoming retirement following next year’s Critérium du Dauphiné before a switch to gravel. This stage win was his first in seven years, and he’s the first Frenchman to don the famous yellow jersey since Julian Alaphilippe in the 2021 race.

Vejle > Sønderborg Sunday 3 July 2022 182 km

Stage 3: map and details.

Route description

The stage starts in Vejle and ends in Sønderborg, from where the riders fly to France on a well-deserved rest day.

The route starts with a round-trip from Vejle past Jelling where the Viking king Harald Blåtand erected the Jelling Stone in the year 965, marking that he had conquered and Christianised the Danes.

The runes on the stone name Harald’s father, Gorm den Gamle (Gorm the Old), and stand as a proof of the fact that the Danish royal family is among the oldest in the world. Globally, Harald Blåtand is more famously known for his English name Harald Bluetooth, which has also inspired the name of the data-sharing technology.

After Jelling, the riders go back through Vejle before riding south. The first categorized climb of the day lies on the same hill as the infamous Kiddesvej-climb, which is known from the final of the Queen’s Stage in Post Nord Danmark Rundt – Tour of Denmark.

The riders continue south. Perhaps fatigued by the wind of the second stage, the riders will be pleased to ride further inland on the eastern side of Jutland. This means that they will likely avoid any strong side winds.

The route goes through Kolding, known for the impressive and more than 750-year-old castle Koldinghus. Just 30 kilometres further, they reach the UNESCO World Heritage protected Christiansfeld.

Christiansfeld was carefully designed and constructed by the Moravians, whom King Christian the 7 th and his doctor Johann Struensee (known from the film “A Royal Affair”) gave special permission to build the town. Among other things, this means that the entire town consists of straight and right-angled streets, and that the church, Brødremenighedens Kirke , famously stands in the perfect centre of the town.

This makes a perfect spot for the stage’s intermediate sprint. After this, the riders drive south into the borderlands between Denmark and Germany. For 100 years, the border has been an icon in international politics for having been drawn peacefully and democratically in a public vote.

The riders pass the cities of Haderslev and Aabenraa. Between those two cities lie the third and last categorized climbs of the day, which very well could decide who wears the polka-dotted jersey on the first rest day.

The stage ends in beautiful Sønderborg just a few miles from Denmark’s most southern airport. From here, all riders, teams, organizers and others fly to France for more familiar Tour - terrain.

Neutralised start on Vejle Havn via Strandgade, left on Windfeld Hansens Gade, Toldbodvej, Right on Fredericiavej, right on Sønderbrogade, Søndertorv, Søndergade (gågade), Left on Rådhustorvet, Blegbanken, right on Enghavevej, Flegborg, Vedelsgade, left on Gormgade, Jellingvej with a sharp start on Jellingvej by Buchsvej. Distance neutralised start: 4,1 km.

The Tour de France 2023 route in Google Earth

Thanks for all your work over the years! Really enjoy it to have all the race routes available in Google Earth.

Thank you very much for this. I am looking forward to it every year.

I was looking forward to open the kmz-file in Google Earth, but in a full hour of trying to download it, I din't succeed, nor by clicking the link nor by copy-pasting the url in a new window. I'll try again later.

I created a public iCal calendar based on this website and links to all stages. https://short.thover.com/?ID=863

Thanks again, Thomas! Like the others, each year I look forward to downloading the KMZ file.

Downloading the kmz file doesn't work, neither does the alternative link

Tour de France Stage 3 Preview: One Final Day in Denmark

It should be another day for the sprinters as the Tour enjoys its final day in Denmark.

Stage 3 - Vejle to Sønderborg - 182km - Sunday, July 3

Stage 3 brings the 2022 Tour de France to Jutland–a large peninsula that’s home to the mainland portions of Denmark–for another stage that’s expected to end in a field sprint.

The 182km stage begins in Vejle, looping to the north through the town of Jelling before beginning its southerly trip to the finish in Sønderborg, on the small island of Als. The stage profile is a big jagged, with three Category 4 climbs spread evenly throughout the stage. Denmark’s Magnus Cort-Nielsen (EF Education First-EasyPost) (or one of his teammates) will likely do his best to make it into the breakaway again in the hopes of maintaining his lead in the Tour’s King of the Mountains competition. But with several teams looking to set-up a field sprint, the break should be caught inside the final hour as the sprinters’ teams get ready for the sprint.

The finale isn’t too technical. The race comes into the center of town from the west, looping around and under itself just after crossing a bridge onto the island about 6km from the finish line. The riders will then follow a counterclockwise loop around the outside of the city center and up toward the finishing straight. A hard left-hander 800 meters from the line means the teams hoping to win the stage will need to be well-placed at the front of the pack.

The forecast calls for temperatures in the 70s and partly cloudy skies, but wind will again be a factor. We’ve especially got our eyes on a spot just after the race passes through Hostrupov with about 40km to go. The race takes a hard right turn to the south in the direction of Felsted. If the wind is gusting from the west, it’s the perfect place to blow the peloton into echelons as the wind shifts from a tailwind to a crosswind. Just the threat of it could make for nervous racing, which means crashes as riders try to stay at the front and out of trouble.

Expect Belgium’s Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) to have little trouble holding onto the yellow jersey as the leader of the Tour’s General Classification. He’s a threat to win the stage and add more bonus seconds to his advantage, and none of the Tour’s other sprinters are close enough to the Belgian to take the lead if they win the stage and van Aert finishes outside the top-3.

Riders to Watch

This looks to be another day for the sprinters, with the Netherlands’ Fabio Jakobsen (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) once again the top favorite. The 25-year-old won Stage 2 to make Quick-Step 2-for-2 so far in this year’s Tour, and given the way they’ve been riding, there’s little reason to doubt the team’s chances of sweeping all three stages in Denmark.

Other contenders include van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), who’s finished second on Stages 1 and 2, Australia’s Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Soudal), who was nowhere to be seen at the end of Stage 2 but always takes a stage or two to warm-up, and Denmark’s Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo), who would become a national hero with a stage win on home soil before the Tour heads back to France.

When to Watch

The race is expected to finish around 11:00 a.m. EDT, so we’ll be tuning in around 10:30 to catch-up on the action so far and watch the finale. Field sprints are always exciting, but we won’t blame you for going for a long ride and watching a replay later in the day.

Since getting hooked on pro cycling while watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship in Philadelphia, longtime Bicycling contributor Whit Yost has raced on Belgian cobbles, helped build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux as an assistant director sportif. These days, he lives with his wife and son in Pennsylvania, spending his days serving as an assistant middle school principal and his nights playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Tour de France 2024 stage 1 preview: Route map and profile of 206km from Florence to Rimini

The first ever grand depart in italy launches the riders into the tuscan hills for one of the toughest opening stages ever seen at the tour de france, article bookmarked.

The Tour de France starts on Saturday with the Grand Depart in Florence – the first time the race has begun in Italy in its 121-year history – and the peloton will be immediately treated to a hard day’s climbing.

With 3,600m of elevation to conquer over 206km of racing, on a route across the Italian countryside featuring six categorised climbs, this is one of the toughest opening stages ever seen at the Tour de France.

After beginning on the banks of the Arno river and heading east out of Florence, the first ascent is the toughest – the Col de Valico Tre Faggi (12.5km at 5.1%) and it would no surprise to saw some bold attacks right from the off. The peloton will pass through San Marino for the first time – the Tour’s 13th country – before finishing on the beachfront in Rimini, on Italy’s easy coast.

Even the strong puncheurs may find themselves out of the mix here, and for once a rider with climbing legs could grab the yellow jersey from the start. It is not hard to imagine Tadej Pogacar turning up the heat on his rivals half an hour into this 21-day odyssey in a bit to control the race from pillar to post.

Likewise, Primoz Roglic might try to make a statement here, and the fast descent into Rimini would suit the handling skills of Tom Pidcock if he’s still in the mix.

If the pace isn’t too aggressive from the start, that might allow some of the more rounded riders to the fore. Mathieu van der Poel arrives fresh from another stellar season and the Alpecin–Deceuninck star can win just about any day he puts his mind to, while the flat finish will suit the explosive speed of Wout van Aert, should he be involved in a successful breakaway.

But expect Van der Poel, Van Aert and most of the heavier riders to be dropped on the climbs if the tempo is high. Pogacar could attack this first stage so hard that no one can follow.

Stage 1 map and profile

The stage is set to begin at 11.40am BST in Florence, and is expected to conclude at around 5.45pm.

The simple answer would be to plump for Tadej Pogacar, who would love to grab hold of the yellow jersey and dominate the race. But let’s choose someone else – how about Tom Pidcock ? He has the climbing legs to get over the numerous lumps and bumps along the way, and the brilliant technical skill to fly down the final descent into the finish at Rimini. If he’s near the front at the top of the last climb, the Ineos rider will be a major threat.
