TOUR DE FRANCE. While the official presentation of the Tour de France 2023 is scheduled for Thursday, October 27, the route of the Grande Boucle has already been unveiled.

Is the suspense already over? On the eve of the announcement of the official route of the Tour de France, several media, including France 3, unveiled a preview of what could be the official map of the Tour de France 2023. If Christian Prudhomme gives an appointment this Thursday at 11:30 am, here is what the Tour 2023 could look like with the details of the stages:

One of the main questions around this course will be whether Remco Evenepoel, winner of the Tour of Spain and new world champion will be there. Not sure. With its 70 kilometers of time trial, the Giro route seems to be cut out for the Belgian even if Christian Prudhomme hopes to see the Quick Step rider on the roads of the Tour de France. Obviously, Evenepoel is welcome on the Tour… as soon as possible! We will be delighted to welcome him. It’s also great to see another champion of this caliber so young. It’s very striking, seeing this generation with Pogacar or even Bernal. Runners who give a lot of emotions beyond the result, they are able to attack from afar. Remco’s attack in La Redoute, during Liège-Bastogne-Liège, was phenomenal. It was transcendent, extraordinary. He knows how to do that. We are waiting for it. If it is in 2023, we will be delighted. If it’s in 2024, it will be at the age when Eddy Merckx won his first Tour de France. He is therefore still very young“analyzed the director on RTBF a month ago.

Where will the start of the Tour de France 2023 be given?

For the 110th edition of the Tour de France, the organizers have decided to start from Spain, one year after the start in Denmark. The city of Bilbaothe most populated in the Basque Country was chosen.

What is the route of the Tour de France 2023?

For the moment, the route of the Tour de France 2023 has not been completely revealed. We know, at the time of writing these few lines, only three stages. The 110th edition will depart from Bilbao in the Basque country and will stay there for three days. Asked about the details of the route, Christian Prudhomme promised great things. “For the past two years, the first week has clearly been made for the punchers. We know the best punchers: Wout van Aert was phenomenal, the flight of the gull was wonderful, Mathieu van der Poel was there but non-existent and Julian Alaphilippe unfortunately was not there and yet we had a show. It depends on the riders but next year there will be a start of punchers and that’s very good. I hope we will have Julian Alaphilippe, Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert of course. I don’t want to say it can be even better but if riders who feel limited in the high mountains, but otherwise have phenomenal ability, want to use the first week to get ahead overall, not just to be in front for a week but to be in front longer, they will have plenty to do…”

What are the dates of the Tour de France 2023?

The 2023 edition of the Tour de France will be given from Bilbao in Spain on July 1, 2023. Three stages will be scheduled in Spain. This 110th edition will end three weeks later on the Champs-Elysées in Paris, on Sunday July 23, 2023.

What are the stages of the Tour de France 2023?

  • 1st stage, the 1er July around Bilbao
  • 2e stage between Vitoria and San Sebastian
  • 3e stage Amorebieta-Etxano – (France)

After 21 stages and many battles for breakaways, stage victories and the general classification, here is the final general classification of this Tour de France 2022 with the great victory of Jonas Vingegaard ahead of Tadej Pogacar and Geraint Thomas. Fourth, David Gaudu is the best Frenchman of this Tour and signs the best result of his career.
