Tour de France

2020 Tour de France Route

The 107th Tour de France will see the Grand Départ in Nice, and will crawl its way to the western part of the country before the first high mountain stage of the Pyrenees. The race will wind east before darting through the middle of France and then ponderous climbs in the Alps, Jura, and Vosges mountain ranges before scaling to the top of La Planche des Belles Filles. The picturesque Champs-Élysées will again take its rightful place as the finish of this legendary tour.

This iteration of the Tour will feature nine flat stages, eight mountain ranges, four summits, three hilly stages, and a one-time trial. Sportsbookreview is a must for those who want the latest breaking news on the Tour so make sure to be on point and check out below for the precise itinerary of the 2020 Tour de France.

Nairo Quintana Sets Sights on Tour de France

Colombian cyclist Nairo Quintana embraced his new home with ProTeam outfit Arkéa-Samsic while the rest of the racing world scratched their collective heads as to why he would leave Moviestar. Well, so far, the decision has been an unmitigated success. Earlier this month the 30-year-old veteran finished second overall in Paris-Nice.

But now he has his sights set on La Grande Boucle and is hoping to bring a mountain of momentum into the competition. Nevertheless, no one knows when the coronavirus hysteria will abate but Le Tour race director, race director Christian Prudhomme, is confident there will be no interruptions or change of schedule, “It is still more than a hundred days until the start of the Tour. The hunger for the race will be immense once activities are resumed.”

However, his opinion regarding Paris-Roubaix going on as scheduled in April is vastly different, “All sports are currently being canceled. I don’t think much will change in April. And that makes perfect sense. Let’s be honest, I don’t think it will be feasible. There is a chance but we also have to show a sense of responsibility. Cycling is no different from the rest.”
