3:30 p.m. – Martin: “I like this course”

Forced to leave the Tour de France 2022 after a positive test for Covid-19, Guillaume Martin will have a real chance of performing well during the Grande Boucle 2023: “I like what I see from this course a lot. It seems to me to be a course made for climbers, with few time trials and a lot of difficult climbs.”

15:15 – A symbolic departure

Host land for the 2024 Olympic Games (track cycling, BMX race, golf, mountain biking), Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines will host the start of the final stage of the Tour de France 2023.

15:00 – Gaudu: “I would like to win”

Present at the presentation of the Tour de France 2023 route, David Gaudu has already marked a few milestones, starting with that of July 14: “The arrival at the top of the Grand Colombier on July 14, on a steep climb like that, I would like to win”.

2:45 p.m. – An unprecedented arrival in the Vosges

The 20th stage of the Tour de France 2023 will be the scene of an unprecedented arrival. If the ascent of the Markstein has already taken place last year during the Tour de France women, it will be the first time that the Vosges summit is the arrival of a stage of the Grande Boucle.

2:30 p.m. – A 17th stage: fireworks

Queen stage of the Tour de France 2023, the 17th stage between Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc and Courchevel should be the scene of spectacular attacks between the favorites of the Grande Boucle. On the program: four passes (Col des Saisies, Cormet de Roselend, Côte de Longefoy and Col de la Loze), 68 kilometers of ascent.

14:15 – Only one time trial on the program

The day after the second day of rest, the peloton will have an appointment with an individual time trial of 22 kilometers between Passy and Combloux in Haute-Savoie. If this stage is short, these slopes at an average of 9% over more than two kilometers and portions at 15% could create significant gaps.

14:00 – The return to Spain

Thirty years later, the Tour de France is back in Spain. In 1992, the Grande Boucle started from San Sebastian. Like last year (in Denmark), the peloton will spend three days in the Basque Country with an interesting second stage where the climb to Jaizkibel could already create gaps in the general classification.

13:45 – The five mountain ranges crossed

Note that during the 110th edition of the Tour de France, the peloton will cross the five mountain ranges of France (Pyrenees, Alps, Massif Central, Jura, Vosges).

13:30 – The numbers of the Tour de France

In total, the peloton will cover 3404 kilometers during the Tour de France 2023 where the riders will pass through twenty-three departments and six regions. On the program: eight mountain stages, eight flat stages, four hilly stages, an individual time trial, thirty listed passes. Note that the roof of the Grande Boucle will be the Col de la Loze at 2304 meters.

13:13 – The profile of the last stage

Last stage of the Grande Boucle 2023, the Vélodrome of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines will be the scene of the final start where the Champs-Elysées should once again see a sprinter cross the finish line first.

13:12 – The profile of the 20th stage

Last chance for the favorites to make differences in the general classification during the 20th stage of the Tour de France 2023 between Belfort and Markstein.

13:11 – The profile of the 19th stage

A long straight line of 8 kilometers to Poligny where the sprinters should decide the victory during the 19th stage of the Tour de France 2023.

13:11 – The profile of the 18th stage

After five complicated stages, the sprinters should find more favorable ground during the 18 stage between Moutiers and Bourg-en-Bresse.

13:07 – The profile of the 17th stage

This 17th stage of the Tour de France 2023 should pose a problem for many riders between Saint-Gervais and Courchevel with the return of the Col de la Loze.

13:06 – The profile of the 16th stage

After a day of rest, the peloton will have an appointment with a 22 kilometer time trial between Passy and Combloux. A profile that should suit climbers.
