Cyclingnews<\/em> will once again be providing world-class coverage of the biggest bike race on the planet.<\/p>\nLe Tour is simply incomparable in the world of cycling, and for the entire three weeks, we’ll bring you unrivalled, around-the-clock coverage of the French Grand Tour. With journalists on the ground for a 32nd consecutive year, and supported by Cyclingnews’ global team, we’ll provide you with comprehensive coverage of the 113th edition of La Grande Boucle.<\/p>\n
This year’s route is 3,321km in length, with 54,450m of elevation gain from the testing team time trial on the streets of Barcelona to kick off proceedings on Saturday, July 4, to the double Alpe d’Huez ascents on stages 19 and 20, where the yellow jersey will almost certainly be decided. The racing concludes in Paris on Sunday, July 26.<\/p>\n
And speaking of the GC battle, well, a mouthwatering battle awaits us this July. As in previous years, Tadej Poga\u010dar and Jonas Vingegaard top the billing when it comes to the yellow jersey fight, but this year, a young Frenchman by the name of Paul Seixas could rip up the script.<\/p>\n
On top of that, there’s a whole host of blockbuster riders ready to stamp their authority on the race, whether it be as part of the GC battle or one of the minor classifications, from Tom Pidcock and Remco Evenepoel to Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen.<\/p>\n
Our Tour de France coverage<\/h2>\n As already mentioned, we’ll be bringing you around-the-clock coverage of all 21 stages, across our website, app, and social media channels. The Tour both demands and deserves nothing less.<\/p>\n
Four of the Cyclingnews<\/em> team will be out in Spain and France this month, sharing the workload between them, with vital support from the rest of the Cyclingnews team in Europe, North America and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n
