Tour de France Tour de France 2024 route rumours and announcements

[gavia88]

as we actually know most principale mountain stages and we can fill in most likely climbs they will do, I'm actually most interrested in how many kilometers the first ITT will have, if there are gravel roads (and if there is a significant amount of them), and how they avoid (or not avoid) 8 or 9 clear bunch sprints

Alex Kristoff looks like how I feel listening to all of this bs.

 

[AmRacer]

8 or 9 clear bunch sprints

Cav territory.

 

[noob]

I'm shocked that Vingegaard has deigned to go to the presentation.

Why so? Does he even have a choice?

I'm all excited that Danish Anakin Skywalker isn't bothering to hide Darth Vader anymore.

His attitude has indeed changed enormously and I'm not a fan of it.

 

[noob]

Who's the one next to the one next to Cav on the right side? (from Cav side it's left but from our view it's the right lol) (yes I'm slightly face blind)

Dutch commentators already call the Bonette stage to hard

 

[gavia88]

they didn't put much effort in the profiles yet some strange steep parts and gaps in the road

Too hard for MVDP.

 

[Bavarianrider]

It's a much better route than the last 2 years - I like the short ITT because it can throw up unexpected results.

 

[gavia88]

stage 5 and 6 seems for the sprinters

 

[Netserk]

 

[gavia88]

25 k time trail?

 

[Samamba]

Why is it always too hard to just give us profiles?

[gavia88]

Troyes seems really great

 

[noob]

tour the southeast de France

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Gravel stage looks gravelly

yes, really a pity. Really dificult to judge the plaine stages

Mohoric should start in the rainbow jersey then.

 

[Netserk]

25 k time trail?

Yes.

So we have 25 + 35 = 60 km of ITT in total. It's not catastrophic.

 

[gavia88]

what I was affraid off, a lot of flat stages. Dificult to judge with those visuals if there are some 3/4 cat climbs in the final of some of them.

60k of ITT ... or warmup as @Bavarianrider calls it.

 

[gavia88]

Pla d'Adet without surprises

 

[gavia88]

horrible design for Plateau the Beille, as expected
