Lampaert

Right that is me done. You can read all about how Yves Lampaert won stage one of the 109th edition of the Tour de France by scrolling back through this live page or switching over to our report.

On Saturday the race travels 202.2km from Roskilde to Nyborg.

Except for three modest climbs in the first half of the stage the run into the finish is relatively flat. However, the crossing the Storebaeltsbroen in the final 25km could make for an intriguing finale.

I'll see you for that around 13:30 BST. Take care and enjoy your evening.

I'm sure this man will.

Lampaert dedicates yellow jersey to Declercq

More from Yves Lampaert on his first Tour de France stage win: “I was hoping to make the top 10 and that would already have been great but now I beat all the best in the world.

"I’m just a farmer's son from Belgian and I do this, it’s unexpected. I cannot believe it. I knew I was in good condition, but to win stage in the Tour de France, especially stage one is something I never could dream of.

"To beat [Wout] Van Aert, [Mathieu] Van der Poel and [Filippo] Ganna, it’s unbelievable for me. The roads were still very wet when I rode so I think I had the same conditions as the favourites and yet I finished five seconds in front of Van Aert."

"I will have the yellow jersey on my shoulders at least for one day. I will only be able to realise when the Tour will be over, or maybe on Monday when I’ll see my girlfriend and my son. I want to share this moment with Tim Declercq who is one of my best friend and couldn’t ride the Tour because of Covid.”

Post update

Absolutely smashed it.

Lampaert wins stage one

Yves Lampaert can relax. His stage one victory is confirmed before Marc Soler even reaches the finish.

Froome happy to come through unscathed

Four-time champion Chris Froome says he is happy to get through the opening stage of the Tour de France "unscathed" but that his legs are "feeling good".

Meanwhile, Yves Lampaert is sat waiting patiently for Marc Soler to finish before celebrating victory on stage one.

This is looking like a decent ride from debutant Tom Pidcock...

The British rider approaches the line and crosses 24 seconds down to surely finish 15th.

The last man out Marc Soler is taking it very easy indeed.

The Spaniard joined UAE Team Emirates and looks to be saving his legs for later in the race when he will be expected to help team-mate and defending champion Tadej Pogacar in the mountains.

Tom Pidcock goes through the first time check 12 second down on Christophe Laporte's earlier mark.

Apparently nine out of 10 people in Denmark own a bike (well according to the Tour's press kit) and there are 12,000km of bike routes and bike lanes across the country.

There are also some 673,000 bikes in the city and 44% of all trips to places of work and education are done by bicycle.

No wonder Copenhagen was handed the Grand Depart.

The best cycling city in the world?

Tour de France

Astana's Alexey Lutsenko finished seventh overall in last year's Tour and he is currently out on the road attempting to push his credentials for another top 10 finish.

The Kazakh rider goes through the half-way mark 22 seconds slower than Christophe Laporte and ends up over 40 seconds down come the finish line.

Now Marc Soler gets going. He is the last rider out.

Here comes Tom Pidcock. What could the Ineos man do here?

Friday feels

Quite a way to spend your Friday afternoon/evening.

Tour de France

Marc Hirschi, a late addition to UAE Team Emirates' starting line-up is on his way. He replaced Italian Matteo Trentin who tested positive for Covid.

And Denmark's Jakob Fuglsang gets a huge roar as he starts his Tour on home soil.

Dylan Teuns was not given the warmest of welcomes as he set off.

I reckon that may be ,more linked to the police raids on his Bahrain Victorious team hotel, rather than anything personal.

Froome finishes

Chris Froome's long comeback to full fitness continues as he rolls over the line around one minute and 16 seconds down on current leader Yves Lampaert.

The Froome of a few years back, prior to his horrendous crash at the Dauphine in 2019, would surely not have shipped as much time as that but then again it is sort of mission accomplished as he has got round a course that is still very much drying out from the earlier downpour.

To put his ride into context Rigoberto Uran was only marginally quicker then the four-time champion and Froome was around six seconds quicker than Thibaut Pinot and nine better than Steven Kruijswijk.

Tour de France LIVE: Stage 20 results, highlights and standings as Tadej Pogacar wins in Le Markstein

Tadej Pogacar won stage 20 of the Tour de France to Le Markstein as Jonas Vingegaard could begin celebrating the defence of his title in the yellow jersey.

Pogacar proved unable to challenge Vingegaard for yellow in the last week of this race but made his point on the penultimate day as he outsprinted the Dane to the line on the final mountain stage before Sunday’s procession into Paris.

Felix Gall snuck ahead of Vingegaard for second place on the day, while Simon Yates and Adam Yates came in fourth and fifth, results that earn third overall for Adam and see Simon move up to fourth after Carlos Rodriguez suffered the impact of a crash early on the day.

Follow updates from stage 20 of the Tour de France below.

Highlights of stage 20

Watch the last kilometre of that thrilling stage 20:

Tour de France LIVE – Simon Yates speaks

16:35 , Lawrence Ostlere

Simon Yates, who finished fourth today and fourth overall. “We were looking for the stage, but I didnt have the legs to jump across and UAE ramped it up in the final anyway. I’m pleased with [my Tour]. I lost 40 seconds early doors in a stupid crash, other than that, I’ve been quite good. I had a couple of days where I suffered in the heat but other than that I’m quite happy.”

Tour de France LIVE – Tadej Pogacar speaks

16:26 , Lawrence Ostlere

“I’m me again,” Tadej Pogacar says. “It was really cool to finish like this. Adam led me out really well, thanks to him it was a bit easier for me to prepare the finish.”

Stage 20 – top five

16:24 , Lawrence Ostlere

Here’s how they finished in that front group:

1. Tadej Pogacar2. Felix Gall3. Jonas Vingegaard4. Simon Yates5. Adam Yates

Adam Yates finishes on the podium

16:23 , Lawrence Ostlere

Brilliant by Carlos Rodriguez, who fought back after that nasty early crash to finish the stage, losing only one spot in the overall standings. Adam Yates takes third on the GC, Simon Yates finishes fourth, Rodriguez is fifth in his first Tour de France and Pello Bilbao is sixth. Jai Hindley is seventh and Felix Gall takes eighth.

Jonas Vingegaard wins the Tour de France

16:18 , Lawrence Ostlere

Jonas Vingegaard, of course, gets the consolation prize of confirming his second Tour de France triumph. He will enjoy the procession to Paris tomorrow.

🤝Respect. #TDF2023 | @TamauPogi | Jonas Vingegaard pic.twitter.com/fdD8mVe7dz — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 22, 2023

16:15 , Lawrence Ostlere

Tadej Pogacar sprints away from the climbers and Vingegaard sits up before the line, knowing the game is up. Pogacar celebrates fiercely – that meant a lot.

Tour de France LIVE – Vingegaard vs Pogacar

16:14 , Lawrence Ostlere

250m to go: Vingegaard tries to outsprint Pogacar around the outside, here we go...!

Tour de France LIVE – Yates setting up Pogacar for sprint

16:12 , Lawrence Ostlere

1km to go: Adam Yates leads Pogacar, with Vingegaard, Simon Yates and Felix Gall in tow...

2km to go: Simon Yates puts in a little accelaration and Pogacar leads the chase. The front five are now back together, with Adam Yates back on the front, trying to set up his teammate Pogacar to sprint to the line. Can anyone outsprint the Slovenian in this group? It seems unlikely.

Tour de France LIVE – five riders at the front contesting stage win

16:09 , Lawrence Ostlere

4km to go: The Yates twins have caught the leading trio, so we have five riders at the front now:

Adam Yates and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates), Simon Yates (Jayco-Alula), Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Felix Gall (Ag2R).

Tour de France LIVE – Adam Yates closing in to help Pogacar

16:07 , Lawrence Ostlere

5km to go: Gall, Vingegaard and Pogacar have crested the final climb and are riding slightly downhill towards the finish. Vingegaard looks at Gall as if to say, how do we stop Pogacar and Yates doubling up on us? Gall tells the yellow jersey to take a turn on the front, and he duly does. They are going to have to work together to stop the UAE Emirates duo from taking control of this finish.

Tour de France LIVE – Vingegaard, Pogacar and Gall lead

16:03 , Lawrence Ostlere

8km to go: A fascinating game of cat and mouse at the front here as Vingegaard keeps looking across at Felix Gall and Tadej Pogacar. Who will launch an attack first? Pogacar doesn’t need to – he can wait to the top where a plateau will open the chance for a sprint finish. Vingegaard probably needs to attack sooner, you’d think.

Behind them, Simon and Adam Yates are closing in – they are about 15 seconds behind these leaders.

Tour de France LIVE – Yates brothers, Rodriguez and Bilbao fight for third

16:00 , Lawrence Ostlere

9km to go: Felix Gall leads Vingegaard and Pogacar up towards the finish like a sacrificial lamb. Behind them, another race is forming for the podium places. Simon Yates is trying to shake off his twin Adam Yates, who occupies third spot right now. Carlos Rodriguez is also there after his ealier crash, being helped by Tom Pidcock, and Pello Bilbao is with them too.

You can see the current standings via the ‘stopwatch’ tab above.

Tour de France LIVE – Vingegaard, Pogacar and Gall move clear

15:54 , Lawrence Ostlere

11km to go: The three best climbers at this year’s Tour de France surge away from Pinot, Pidcock and Barguil – the Briton tries to respond but he cannot for long. That is the last we will see of Thibaut Pinot attacking on a mountain stage at the Tour de France. Chapeau.

Tour de France LIVE – Six riders now lead the race

15:51 , Lawrence Ostlere

Vingegaard, Pogacar and now Felix Gall have caught up to the front three: Pinot, Pidcock and Barguil. So these six riders lead stage 20 and surely one of them is going to win the day in Le Markstein.

Tour de France LIVE – Pogacar attacks!

15:49 , Lawrence Ostlere

12km to go: Tadej Pogacar launches clear of the yellow-jersey group! Only Vingegaard responds, and the two of them are suddenly only 20 seconds from Pinot. Pinot is meanwhile being caught by Pidcock and Barguil – there’s three in the lead now! Action everywhere.

Tour de France LIVE – Pinot struggling to hold on

15:47 , Lawrence Ostlere

15km to go: Pinot’s gap has been cut slightly on the descent as they now climb towards the final peak of the day – the Col du Platzerwasel. So it’s Pinot by 12 seconds to a flying Tom Pidcock and Warren Barguil, and the yellow-jersey group are now less than one minute behind Pinot. Is the Frenchman cracking?

Tour de France LIVE – David Gaudu crashes

15:37 , Lawrence Ostlere

20km to go: David Gaudu is down! A crash out of nowhere on the descent, and the Frenchman chasing a top-10 finish is having to shake off what looks like a painful fall.

Tour de France LIVE – Pinot begins descent to final climb

15:31 , Lawrence Ostlere

25km to go: Pinot goes over the top of the penultimate climb and begins the 10km descent with a 30-second lead over Pidcock and the chasers – that’s a phenomenal solo attack. How much has he got left for the final climb? This will be a famous, emotional victory if he can pull it off on his final Tour de France. The yellow-jersey group is still 1min 30sec back.

Tour de France LIVE – Pinot leads Pidcock and Barguil

15:27 , Lawrence Ostlere

The French fans are going utterly nuts as Pinot cycles into waves of supporters which part for their hero. Behind him, Chris Harper has lost touch with Barguil and Pidcock.

Tour de France LIVE – Pinot leads Pidcock, Harper and Barguil

15:25 , Lawrence Ostlere

27km to go: Pinot is charging towards the top of the Petit Ballon all alone, with a 20-second lead over Pidcock, Harper and Warren Barguil, who has caught on to their wheel. When he gets to the top, you can bet Pidcock will launch down the descent and make up that time gap – it could be a straight duel on the final climb.

The yellow-jersey group are still 1min 20sec behind Pinot. Have Vingegaard, Pogacar and co left it too late to win the stage?

Tour de France LIVE – Pinot moves into solo lead

15:19 , Lawrence Ostlere

30km to go: Pinot goes alone! He’s surged clear and is trying to make a huge race-winning move. Britain’s Tom Pidcock (Ineos) and Australian Chris Harper (Jayco-Alula) are the only two able to give chase, now about 15 seconds back from Pinot.

Tour de France LIVE – Thibaut Pinot attacks!

15:10 , Lawrence Ostlere

33km to go: The breakaway hits the first of the final two climbs and Thibaut Pinot puts his foot down! The Vosges mountains is the great Frenchman’s home turf and he is taking charge. Tom Pidcock and a handful of the other breakers have gone with him.

They are 1min 30sec clear of the yellow-jersey group now and that gap is growing.

Tour de France LIVE – breakaway leads peloton into final two climbs

15:04 , Lawrence Ostlere

So, we are in to the final 40km of this stage 20 and the state of play is this: a group of 10 riers are working together well at the front in a breakaway that is steaming towards the first of the two category-one climbs that precede the finish, the Col du Petit Ballon (9.3km at 8.1%). It’s pretty steep and pretty long and some will crack here. The leaders are:

Pinot, Madouas, Ciccone, Skjelmose, Harper, Barguil, Van Gils, Uran, Vermaerke, Pidcock, Uran, Madouas and Vermaerke.

Behind them, only a minute back up the road, UAE Emirates are chasing with a stage win for Tadej Pogacar in mind. Jumbo-Visma are right there too, because Jonas Vingegaard wants the victory too.

Tour de France LIVE – Giulio Ciccone wins polka dot jersey!

14:55 , Lawrence Ostlere

45km to go: Giulio Ciccone goes over the top of the Col de la Schlucht before the rest and that is that – he has won the polka dot jersey. There are not enough King of the Mountains points left for Felix Gall or Jonas Vingegaard to catch him. He grabs his jersey and smiles, then turns and thanks his teammates who helped make it all possible today.

On this day in 2012

14:42 , Lawrence Ostlere

Bradley Wiggins became the first British rider to win the Tour de France on this day in 2012.

Wiggins finished three minutes and 21 seconds ahead of compatriot and Team Sky colleague Chris Froome to be crowned champion in the 99th edition of the race.

The then 32-year-old was left on the verge of history following his impressive time-trial win on the penultimate day.

And there were no slip-ups during the 20th and final stage, where Wiggins helped another Team Sky rider Mark Cavendish to victory on the Champs-Elysees.

“I don’t know what to say, I’ve had 24 hours for it to soak in,” he said following his win.

On this day in 2012: Bradley Wiggins celebrates historic Tour de France victory

Tour de France LIVE – Pidcock and Pinot among seven riders in breakaway

14:34 , Lawrence Ostlere

60km to go: There are seven riders out in front now, with the peloton about a minute behind them.

The leaders are: Pinot, Madouas, Ciccone, Skjelmose, Harper, Barguil, Van Gils, Uran, Vermaerke and Pidcock.

A day for Thibaut Pinot on his final Tour de France? Could Tom Pidcock deliver a stage win to go with his victory on Alpe d’Huez last year? They could do with a bigger gap from the chasing peloton first, which includes Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar, both hungry for the stage win.

Tour de France LIVE – Giulio Ciccone closes in on King of the Mountains prize

14:17 , Lawrence Ostlere

75km to go : Giulio Ciccone is first of the breakaway over the top of the category two Col de la Croix des Moinats – that’s five more points and he is closing in fast on securing the polka dot jersey. He will need just a couple more KoM wins on the next ascents to seal the deal.

Tour de France LIVE – stage 20 profile

13:59 , Lawrence Ostlere

The breakaway is approaching the second categorised climb of the day. Among them is Giulio Ciccone, looking to clinch more King of the Mountains points.

Here’s a closer look at today’s profile:

Tour de France LIVE – breakaway forming ahead of peloton

13:53 , Lawrence Ostlere

85km to go: A breakaway of around 15 riders is trying to pull clear of the peloton, but UAE Emirates are working hard to haul them back and ensure Tadej Pogacar gets a look at winning this stage. The break are only around 20 seconds clear of the rest.

Tour de France LIVE: Sepp Kuss receives medical attention

13:46 , Lawrence Ostlere

91km to go: Jumbo-Visma’s Sepp Kuss is also struggling – he’s got a very similar injury to Rodriguez around his left eye and he’s receiving medical attention as he tries to catch up with the escaping peloton. Kuss’s teammate, the yellow jersey Jonas Vingegaard, was just one bike away from being involved in that crash. That could have been hugely dramatic.

Tour de France LIVE: Carlos Rodriguez injured in crash

13:39 , Lawrence Ostlere

98km to go: A crash in the peloton! It looks like Carlos Rodriguez, the man currently fourth in the overall standings, has hit the ground and he looks hurt, with blood pouring from around his left eye and more on his left arm and leg. The young Spaniard is back on his bike, trying to catch up with the peloton, but this looks pretty bad.

Tour de France LIVE – stage 20

13:34 , Lawrence Ostlere

Here is how the top of the King of the Mountains standings look after that ascent:

Giulio Ciccone 93 points

Felix Gall 82

Jonas Vingegaard 81

13:32 , Lawrence Ostlere

At the top of the first climb of the day, the Ballon d’Alsace, Giulio Ciccone is teed up by his teammates before sprinting to pick up the maximum five King of the Mountains points on offer for this category two climb. Felix Gall wasn’t bluffing when he said he wasn’t interested in contested for polka dots, but Jonas Vingegaard sneaks to the front to try and grab some extra KoM points – but Ciccone’s teammate Mads Pedersen spotted what Vingegaard was up to and sprinted ahead to deny Vingegaard any points haul.

So now we know: the polka dots will be fought between Ciccone and Vingegaard today.

13:24 , Lawrence Ostlere

110km to go: Victor Campenaerts has been reeled in and the peloton is back together as one. Lidl-Trek are working hard on the front to help Giulio Ciccone win the points he needs to protect the polka dot jersey.

13:09 , Lawrence Ostlere

Interesting to hear from Felix Gall ahead of the stage, who tells ITV he is not prioritising the polka dot jersey today. He is only seven points behind Giulio Ciccone and there are a maximum of 37 King of the Mountains points up for grabs here, but Gall insists he won’t be fighting for it.

“If it happens it’s somehing, we’ll see how it plays out, but for sure it’s not the first priority today.”

Tour de France 2023 – stage 20 preview

12:57 , Lawrence Ostlere

Here’s a closer look at today’s stage...

What is left to play for? The team category has been sewn up by Jumbo-Visma, to go with Vingegaard’s yellow jersey, and the green jersey has been won by Jasper Philipsen, assuming he can get through this day unscathed and before the time cut – his Alpecin-Deceuninck teammates will ensure that he does. The best young rider’s white jersey will almost certainly be won by Pogacar for the fourth year in a row.

But the polka dot jersey is still very much on the line. Giulio Ciccone currently wears the famous red and white colours but his tally of 88 points at the top of the standings is not definitive. Austrian rider Felix Gall – winner of the Souvenir Henri Desgrange as the first over the top of the highest point of the race – has 82 points on the board. Then there is Vingegaard, with 81 points. There are 37 points available on stage 20, so this is where the King of the Mountains will be decided.

There is also a final podium spot up for grabs. Pogacar’s UAE Emirates teammate Adam Yates currently occupies third in the general classification, an impressive achievement given the work he has put in for his leader throughout the Tour. But Yates is only a minute or so up on Ineos’s Carlos Rodriguez and his twin brother Simon Yates, while Bahrain Victorious’s Pello Bilbao is around two minutes back from the podium. We can expect some attempts to dislodge Adam Yates, who will now doubt have his teammates’ support in defence of his place, which comes with plenty of prize money as well as prestige.

Tour de France stage 20 preview: A fight to be King of the Mountains

12:49 , Lawrence Ostlere

Stage 20 has just begun and in news that will shock no one who has followed this Tour de France, Belgian chaos-magnet Victor Campenaerts has gone on the attack immediately. He has won both of the past two combativity awards for his aggression over the last two stages and he’s on one again.

A punchy 137km from Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne to Grand Colombier on Bastille day

Tour de France latest results and news Tour de France 2023 - Stage 13 preview Tour de France: Ion Izagirre secures solo victory on frantic stage 12 How to watch the 2023 Tour de France – live streaming

Happy Bastille Day and welcome to Cyclingnews' live coverage of stage 13 of the 2023 Tour de France!

The riders are completing sign-ons and the team presentation in Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne ahead of the start of the 137.8km route that finishes atop the Grand Colombier.

Peter Sagan (TotalEnergies) has received a great cheer from the crowd before stage 13 of his final Tour de France.

As is commonplace on Bastille Day at the Tour, there should be an almighty effort by most French riders to try and get into the break of the day. The last French rider to win the Bastille Day Tour de France stage was Warren Barguil (Arkéa-Samsic) in 2017, could today see the next French winner?

Here's another look at the day's profile with the hors catégorie Grand Colombier hosting the summit finish. 

Profile of stage 13 of the 2023 Tour de France

Felix Gall (AG2R-Citroën) is assessing his aims for the day. If he can slip into a breakaway and re-find the climbing form that saw him win a stage at the Tour de Suisse, he could be a real threat for the stage win. 

Biggest cheer so far goes to, unsurprisingly, Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ). The fan-favourite will be desperate to make it into the break and showed he is in strong form yesterday with a sixth-place finish. 

Simon Yates could play a big role in the day's finale and currently sits seventh overall.

Simon Yates stage 13 2023 Tour de France

We're just under half an hour away from the neutralised start of stage 13 in Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne.

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) has just made his way to the stage. We're expecting to see the next round of his battle vs Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) today and the rest of the weekend should provide more of the same with two further mountainous tests.

Barry Ryan has put together a great preview of today's stage and for the two that arrive after it on what should be a race-defining weekend. Read it below.

Tight margins, endless permutations – New phase in Vingegaard vs Pogacar duel

Tony Gallopin (Lidl-Trek) is riding his final Tour de France, but will always have the memory of wearing the yellow jersey on Bastille Day during the 2014 race.

🇫🇷@tonygallopin can't wait to see you all on the Grand Colombier for Bastille Day! #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/kU5Ne8ulbU July 14, 2023

The riders are making their way to the start line in preparation for another day of racing in the sunshine.

Here's Pogačar and his typical hair tuft sticking out, ready for a big day of battle on the Grand Colombier. He won atop this summit in the 2020 race ahead of Primož Roglič and will be confident in repeating the feat. 

tadej pogacar Tour de France 2023

Stage 13 of the 2023 Tour de France is underway!

There are just over four kilometres of neutralised riding before the flag is dropped and the racing proper gets started. The crowds at the start in Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne were fantastic as expected on Bastille Day. 

Keep your eye on all the French riders once Christian Prudhomme waves the flag as they will all want to be in the break on this huge day for France.  

Front wheel change for Andrey Amador (EF Education-EasyPost).

137KM TO GO

Here we go! We're ready to go with Amador back in and the flag drops at kilometre zero.

Lotto-Dstny are straight into a tandem attack with Campenaerts and Eenkhoorn. A trio of Uno-X riders are bridging across as we are above 50km/h already on the flat start. 

There's a lot of interest obviously, but the pack will continue to swell with so many adamant on being in the break. French teams all towards the front. 

It's the TGV de Clermont-Ferrand, Rémi Cavagna, on the front now with Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X) and Valentin Ferrin (TotalEnergies) with him. 

Esteban Chavez (EF Education-EasyPost) has been bridged across with Bettiol to help him, this will be the blueprint for all teams to get into the break as on such a flat start, any climber will want a rouleur to help them and drive a group away. 

130KM TO GO

Mechanical for Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) in the French national champion's jersey. An unfortunate start for the man in the tricolour. 

Here's how close our two likely protagonists for the day were on the start line. Will Pogačar and Vingegaard be separated by much more of a distance atop the day's summit finish?

125KM TO GO

TotalEnergies have incredibly active in the opening 10km, launching nearly every rider on their team at least once, the latest of which is Pierre Latour who was runner-up on the Puy de Dôme. 

Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) was pacing for Mattias Skjelmose before the bunch again swelled. Both attacked non-stop in the opening of yesterday's stage, so for either to have anything left is incredibly impressive. 

Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-QuickStep) launched Cavagna into the next one of his attacks. The Belgian team are yet to have any success at this 2023 race.

Cavagna is joined by Ineos duo, Fraile and Castroviejo, Magnus Cort (EF Education EasyPost), Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) and British national champion, Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious). 

120KM TO GO

Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) has two Israel-Premier Tech riders in his wheel as he tries to bridge this gap. The elastic hasn't yet snapped and we continue to race at over 50km/h. 

We momentarily came all back together, but a new group of leaders has formed at the front: Pacher, Oliveira, Van Gils and Teunissen. 

This small group did have a 13 second advantage, but there is now a huge chasing group trying to bridge the gap. 

This huge group at the front has a growing advantage. If they work together they should be able to make it stick. 

110KM TO GO

It looks as though the peloton is calming down now and may be letting this be the break of the day. Kevin Geniets (Groupama-FDJ) is making one final effort to try and give Pacher some support in the lead group. 

Scratch that, were lined out again the peloton. Some teams have clearly missed this and don't want to give up the fight yet. The peloton is 21 seconds behind now and our lead group appears to be working well. 

Coquard is all alone in this 23 second gap and making a last ditch effort. It would be miraculous if he could somehow bridge this gap. 

The peloton is now 1:03 and the break has truly formed. Coquard is stuck 40 seconds back and shouldn't make it. 

Here is one of Bettiol's first attacks, he's made it into the eventual break of the day alongside teammate James Shaw. 

Alberto bettiol Tour de France 2023 stage 13

105KM TO GO

UAE Team Emirates immediately come to the break with their rouleurs, they clearly mean business. Bjerg and Laengen are towards the front and ready to try control this break. 

Pogačar obviously wants the stage win and the bonus seconds, but this effort will require his whole team to drive themselves into the ground before the final climb. Is trying to pull back this huge back worth it?

The gap is stable for now close to 1:30 as the teams behind try to grab a musette and have their lunch with the break finally away. 

100KM TO GO

The peloton is strung out a long way down the road all for this desire to win the stage. 

A look as the day's break is led by Mohorič.

Matej Mohoric leads Tour de France 2023 stage 13 breakaway

UAE are really working at this with their three better-suited riders on flat terrain, Bjerg, Laengen and Trentin swapping turns on the front. As the foot of the climb arrives 17.4km from the finish, it should be a more manageable effort than if today were a 200km stage. 

Astana Qazaqstan have done a great job to get Harold Tejada into the break with Cees Bol as flat support. The team have had a very unlucky start to the 2023 race having lost three riders in Mark Cavendish, Luis Leon Sanchez and David de la Cruz all to crashes and injuries. 

Current order in the peloton is UAE on the front with their roulers, Bora-Hansgrohe, Ineos Grenadiers, Pogačar and his climbing support, Jayco AlUla then Jumbo-Visma and the yellow jersey, Vingegaard. 

The peloton is starting to slowly close the gap with it now down to 1:20. 

Very windy conditions out on the road now, blowing across the riders. 

52km/h average speed after just over an hour of racing, the peloton is by no means hanging around. 

UAE giving everything today for their superstar rider, Pogačar.

The break to the gap is stable at 1:30. The break are working well, but just aren't being given enough leeway to try and fight for the stage win. 

Bike change for Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) and it's obviously a planned one. He got off his white aero Merida bike for the fast, flat start and has got onto his black lightweight climbing bike which he'll want for the summit finish. 

Tour de France 2023 stage 13

The man in yellow clearly isn't scared of Pogačar, but all the talking will be done on the inclines of the Grand Colombier.

Gap for the break has extended out towards the two minute mark which still isn't going to be enough to win atop the summit finish, especially without a pure climber in the move. 

Our 19 escapees are working together nicely so far to give themselves the best chance. Slightly surprising to only see three French riders in there: Pacher, Latour and Petit. 

Pogačar and his main climbing domestique, Majka. 

tadej Pogacar Rafael majka Tour de France 2023

The leaders are on the early slopes of the uncategorised Col de la Lèbe now. It has very manageable gradients averaging around 3%, but is over 15km in length.

Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Dstny) has just gone out the back of the peloton. He had to fight the time cut yesterday with only De Buyst as help. He'll hopefully get some help from his team before they reach the foot of the final climb. 

Caleb Ewan survives Tour de France time cut but sprinters fear the Alps

The break to have lost motivation with UAE's earlier push putting them off trying fully. 

Some of the heavier riders are dropping on the inclines: Bol and Petit. 

UAE have pulled back 30 seconds on the opening half of this uncategorised climb. Mohorič and Asgreen have sensed the danger and started driving the pace to try and split the break into a more manageable size. 

Laengen's work is done, leaving only Bjerg and Trentin to work on the front, but they will have a long downhill section after this uncategorised climb which will make their job easier.

Teunissen takes the intermediate sprint points and cash prize ahead of Mohorič in second who pushes on. 

We've seen Ben Turner (Ineos Grenadiers) all alone at the back of the race. He's apparently suffering from stomach problems and has little energy to stay in the bunch. Hopefully he can survive the time cut and recover overnight.

Tour de France 2023 stage 13

Ewan has only just passed the intermediate sprint point, a long way down on Turner and the peloton. 

The break are closing in on the peak of the uncategorised Col de la Lèbe and will start the descent into the valley that precede the Grand Colombier. Will Mohorič try and attack the descent?

The break's current advantage of 3:08 won't be enough on the final climb, but if they can extend it on this descent and into the valley, they someone with great legs may have a very slim chance of making it. 

Latour is majorly struggling on the descent. He should get back on, but this is energy he won't want to waste. 

EF and Intermaché are using their numerical advantage well in the breakaway. 

UAE Team Emirates have now established full control at the head of the peloton with their wheel team keeping Pogačar safe while also trying to keep the gap close enough. It's now 3:39. 

Latour is well dropped now at 40 seconds in arrears. 

With our summit finish approaching, here's a look at the profile of our finale climb. Hardest sections arrive at the start with a brutal opening 8 kilometres and despite a few sections of respite in the middle, the final ramp also tops out at over 12%.

Grand Colombier profile

Caleb Ewan has abandoned the 2023 Tour de France. He'd been sat at the back alone after dropping on our first uncategorised climb.

Grand Colombier incoming. 3km to the foot of the climb. 

The other GC teams are starting to come to the fore alongside UAE with Ineos, Jumbo, Bahrain and AG2R now at the front. The latter will be working for Gall who can climb with the very best on his day. 

This will take a miraculous effort from someone in the break if they are to hold off the charging peloton behind. 

EF have taken up the mantle on the front and told both their riders in the break to 'grit their teeth' as the hardest slopes come at the bottom of the climb. 

You would think this was the run into a sprint finish with the peloton motoring along to hold good position once the climb starts. Ineos are best positioned for the moment. 

Asgreen and Teunissen dropped straight away. 

Attack Quentin Pacher! Vive la France.

Ineos hit the front for Rodríguez and Pidcock, they are either feeling great or are just worried about positioning. 

UAE's rouleurs have competed their tasks and their climbing contingent are now coming to the front. Laengen has revived himself for one last pull before Großschartner, Soler, Majka and Yates take over. 

Politt hits the front in aid of Hindley. At the front, Pacher is giving everything on Bastille Day hoping that the incredible French crowds will spur him on to victory. 

Vingegaard is sat further back on Pogačar's wheel and the duo will need to come to the front with such big crowds on the road that will cause the path to narrow as they climb. 

Only Van Gils, Tejada and Shaw are still within 15 seconds of our lone leader as the peloton battle with flares and smoke further down the mountain. 

Will Vingegaard be able to live with Pogačar's inevitable explosive attack? We're about to find out as the climb continues. His team have been absent all day and letting UAE do all the work. 

Tour de France 2023 stage 13 Jonas Vingegaard

Gap to the break is holding at 3:48 for now with Pacher still only 8 seconds ahead of his pursuers. 

We're going through the beautiful switchbacks on this climb with a wall of noise spurring on the riders on each corner. 

Kwiatkowski is pacing himself nicely behind and appears to be closing in on the leaders. Pacher has been caught as Van Gils goes!

Shaw and Tejada are close behind, but our last Frenchman, Pacher,  is dropped. 

Ben O'Connor dropped. It hasn't been his year at the 2023 Tour de France. Soler pacing on the front for UAE. Bernal also dropped too. 

The break have got a good chance now with the gap at 3:37. We do know, however, that either Pogačar or Vingegaard could melt that advantage very quickly if they fully launch. 

Kwiatkowski has caught and attacked the trio that were leading. The former World Champion has been great at this Tour and on the attack in breakaways non-stop. 

Kelderman dropped already, that's a big surprise for Jumbo-Visma. 

Kwiatkowski has 13 seconds over the chasers for now after his well paced opening 6km of the climb. If he can get over this hardest sector, he'll get a small chance of recovery on a flat section.

Nice move from the Ineos rider.

Kwiatkowski is flying away from the trio behind him with a gap now of 38 seconds as he goes over the flatter section. Soler is still turning himself inside-out for his leader before Großschartner takes over and pushes the pace again. 

Bardet has been dropped already under the pressure of UAE. 

Take a look at the Grand Colombier in all its glory below. 

Grand Colombier is a piece of art 😍#TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/wNijARdczp July 14, 2023

We ramp up again to 12% gradient with around 6km to go, but once Kwiatkowski passes that he will find the slopes easing somewhat, albeit to averages still of 7%, which could help him find an incredible victory. 

Soler pulls over and now we get the best climbers in UAE's team. There are nods between Großschartner and Majka agreeing that it's time to go and win the stage. Kwiatkowski is holding them off brilliantly for now still 3:13 ahead. 

Pinot, Buchmann both dropped. 

Martin is also dropped as UAE ramp the pace up even more. Landa also struggling off the back.

Kwiatkowski is looking brilliant at the head of the race with a 2:36 lead still over the peloton. Can Pogačar or Vingegaard close that much time in the final few kilometres?

Großschartner, Majka, Yates and then Pogačar, that is the order of UAE with Vingegaard close behind. he only has Kuss with him. 

The gap to Kiwatkowski is falling - now at 2:18. Pogačar is marshalling the troops to try and capture this stage win. 

Majka moves up in the peloton with Yates behind him and UAE continue to drive things. They've worked all day long for this, but Kwiatkowski is still posted at 2:20 in front. 

If this gap is correct, Kwiatkowski is in a fantastic place to take this stage win. He has to maintain his effort though as the final ramp is brutal. 

Majka gets out of the saddle now and ups the pace again. We're entering the final phase of this stage. We've still got a big group of GC riders in here though as the inclines may not be hard enough. 

The gap is holding to Kwiatkowski above two minutes.

Kwiatkowski is splitting the huge crowds and is closing in on an amazing stage victory.

Yates goes! Kuss goes after him and Pogačar and Vingegaard are close behind. 

We're all back together now after that small attack. 

Yates is now doing the leadout for Pogačar in the finale. Kuss is in between the UAE duo for now, however. Pidcock and Hindley are back onto the four. Simon Yates and Rodriguez are the only others able to follow. 

Flamme rouge for Kwiatkowski, he's got some tough gradients ahead of him, but should have this! What a ride from the Pole.

The bonus seconds are all going to disappear up the road. UAE's tactics haven't paid off. 

STAGE FINISH

Michał Kwiatkowski wins stage 13 of the 2023 Tour de France atop the Grand Colombier!

Behind Pogacar goes! he explodes out of the group with Vingegaard close behind him. The Dane is holding on as they fly past remnants of the break.

Pogačar drops him and he's going to get some bonus seconds, ignore what I said before - what an acceleration. It's around a seven second gain with that final charge to the line as Van Gils hung on for second. Wow.

It won't be yellow, but Pogačar's done well to salvage some time gain after failing to reel in the break. 

Pidcock and Rodríguez share a nice embrace with Kwiatkowski after a fine day for Ineos Grenadiers. 

Here's our stage winner, Michał Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers). He has showed excellent from in the 2023 Tour, back to his World Championship winning best from nearly a decade ago. What a stage win for the Polish rider.

Here's what stage winner Kwiatkowski had to say after the stage:

"Not alone, I had 18 friends in the breakaway, yeah obviously I had a nice advantage on the final climb, but it was a crazy experience, to be honest. When I entered the breakaway I though this is just a free ticket to maybe the bottom of the climb, but I never thought this group will kind of fight for the stage win because UAE were pulling pretty hard in the back. But to be honest it's not easy to I guess chase 19 guys rotating on the flat for more than 100 kilometres."

"We just didn't want to miss any big breakaway. Every day we were pretty much trying to go in the big moves because you never really know when people are moving on the flat who will actually enter that breakaway, maybe someone from the GC, maybe no one will be happy to chase. Today was UAE, but I think they just let too many guys in the front and I just found probably the best legs I ever had in my life."

I didn't believe that was possible, but here I am."

"Winning on top of the mountain like this on Grand Colombier, obviously I had memories here with Egan Bernal [in 2020] here kind of thinking about quitting the race and unfortunately he did later on so that was bad memories for us, but then with Richard [Carapaz] that was also different. That was like full gas racing from the start to the finish and in the end, we could enjoy the last 15 kilometres together, but today was just like - the last effort was probably one of the hardest in my life, but I managed myself well, paced myself well and knew that was going to be a very long effort."

Pogačar's late surge to the line gained him another 8 seconds in the GC battle vs Vingegaard, with that gap at the top now only 0:09. Bilbao was the big loser on GC, dropping two places to seventh and losing 45 seconds to his rivals for the top five.

Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) had another great day in his GC campaign as he finished fifth on the day behind our two breakaway survivors, Pogačar and Vingegaard, here's what he said after stage 13:

"I think Bastille Day should be renamed Ineos day," Pidcock joked in reference to the British team winning on Bastille Day two years in a row. "Two pretty iconic climbs, two wins, it's pretty special."

"It's especially funny because we were at one point talking about Kwiato coming back to help us position into the final climb because UAE weren't giving the break any time and then he wins the stage so it always happens on the day you least expect it and it's super nice because I've spent basically the whole time with him preparing for this race in Tenerife, Suisse and now here so I know how hard he's been working and how much this will mean to him. It's really nice to see."

"I think it's actually easier now that I can ride in the front group because you ride so fats, the steep bits don't feel quite so bad. When you ride slow they feel worse. I think I did quite a good ride myself."

Its a 17k climb and he [Pogačar] just rode the end like it was a bunch sprint. I was probably doing 700 or something, so God knows what he [Pogačar]was doing."

Today's stage was just the first of a trio of mountain stages that conclude the second week at the 2023 Tour de France. Next up is a 151.8km stage that is up and down all the way to the line in Morzine Les Portes du Soleil. There are three categorised climbs in the opening 52km of racing, two of which are category 1, before another 50km from the finish. 

The day's racing will be decided, however, on the Col de Joux Plane and its descent. The Joux Plane is 11.6km at 8.5% and could see more GC action than today with four climbs already in the legs. If anyone crests it solo, they will have to hold off the chasers on a 12km descent to the line which is fast and technical but does have new safety measures as implemented by ASO in agreement with the CPA. 

Profile of stage 14 of the 2023 Tour de France

Kwiatkowski spent a long period of his career working as a domestique in respective Team Sky and Ineos trains for Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome, after an early career period that saw him win the World Championships. At 33, he's been able to maintain his form and attack breakaways in the 2023 Tour and achieve an incredible victory atop the Grand Colombier. Chapeau Michał. He now has two Tour de France stage wins on his decorated palmares that includes a duo of wins at both Strade Bianche and Amstel Gold Race and a monument victory at Milan-Sanremo.

Tour de France returns to storied climb of Le Puy de Dôme after 35 years

There are longer ascents but few that match the gruelling drama or history of the extinct volcano in the Massif Central

I n the pantheon of the Tour de France’s most storied climbs, Sunday’s stage finish at Le Puy de Dôme stands apart for one reason: for 35 years it looked set to remain lost permanently in the mists of Tour history, the climb that would never be repeated.

It became a staple question when interviewing the Tour de France director, Christian Prudhomme: would the race return to the extinct volcano in the Massif Central? Prudhomme would always give a version of the same answer. When he had begun work at the Tour owners, ASO, in 2004, taking the race back to the Puy had been top of the to-do list on his computer, and it would happen when local politics permitted.

Compared with other ascents tackled by the Tour, the Puy de Dôme is not the longest, the highest nor the steepest. It tops out at a relatively modest (for the Tour) 1,415m and the toughest, final section lasts a mere 4km, with a stiffest gradient of about 14%. But the first winner on the summit, Fausto Coppi, said it was “harder than Mont Ventoux” and the man who took the Tour up there for the first time in 1952, Jacques Goddet, described it as “literally a backbreaker”.

What sets the Puy apart is the unremitting nature of the gradient, averaging 12% after the barrier at the foot of the climb with 4.2km to the top, unbroken by a single hairpin as the road spirals round the extinct volcano “like a helter‑skelter in reverse”, according to Geoffrey Nicholson.

Prudhomme, after confirming the climb would return this year, said: “This is what is unique. It’s not just the steepness but the fact the road turns in the same direction. That doesn’t happen anywhere else, it’s what has made this climb mythical.”

Like Ventoux, the almost perfectly conical Pûy can be seen looming threateningly from many miles away, but unlike the Giant of Provence it is covered in lush vegetation and more significantly it is a dead-end road. The Tour was drawn here, Nicholson wrote, because it was a climb of great severity, with a city (Clermont-Ferrand) nearby and a toll gate at its foot. In contrast to every other ascent on the Tour, spectators could be charged for entry.

As ever with the Tour’s great ascents, it’s not just about the toughness, but the history. The climb’s significance is summed up in one image: the two great rivals of the 1960s, Jacques Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor, shoulder to shoulder near the top of the ascent on 12 July 1964, the crowning moment of French bike racing’s defining rivalry.

The memories have now faded, but Poulidor’s enduring popularity could still be seen half a century later at the Tour when he turned up each day to milk the applause; Sunday’s stage starts at his home town of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat in tribute to him. The duel on the slopes of the mountain that day, in front of a crowd well into six figures, saw Anquetil pushed to the limit before he finally cracked. Poulidor gained enough time to hope for the overall win but, in keeping with a career where hope was usually trumped by reality, not quite enough to take the yellow jersey.

The list of winners on the Pûy includes such illustrious names as Felice Gimondi, Federico Bahamontes, Luis Ocaña and Lucien Van Impe, but it has also created one glorious anticlimax: the finish in 1969, when Eddy Merckx was preceded to the top by the lanterne rouge Pierre Matignon, who took full advantage of a long-distance break. Something similar happened in 1988 when the Danish journeyman Johnny Weltz was the winner.

Merckx has bitter memories of the place, as in 1975 he was punched in the kidneys by one of the crowd 200m from the finish. Merckx crossed the line and rode back to identify his attacker, Nello Breton, whom he took to court for a symbolic one franc in damages.

after newsletter promotion

Lucien Van Impe and Joop Zoetemelk climb Le Puy de Dôme during the 1976 Tour de France.

Since Weltz’s win, a combination of factors have kept the Tour from the mountain. Initially, it was because the Tour caravan had grown to the extent that there was no space at the top of the one-way road to accommodate the many pantechnicons. Under Prudhomme the Tour has learned to adapt to ever-tighter finishes, but then local politics came into play.

The regional president was keen for the top of the extinct volcano to be defined as a Unesco reserve, which meant keeping the Tour out, while the construction of a narrow-gauge railway up the road to the top meant there would be barely enough space for the riders, let alone spectators. Barriers were put up at the start of the steepest section, where even leisure cycling is banned. The top of the climb will be closed to the fans, who will be encouraged to watch the race on the lower slopes where the route climbs out of Clermont-Ferrand.

Fans or no fans, the Tour is back, and 59 years after Anquetil and Poulidor, the 2023 Tour’s first eight days have been marked by another one-on-one duel: Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard, who have torn chunks out of each other in the Basque Country, on the Col du Marie Blanque, and the Cauterets climb.

Round four between the Slovenian and the Dane is set for the slopes of a mountain that has at various times been sacred to the Gauls, the Romans – who built a temple of Mercury on the summit – and the Christians, and which is now about to regain its iconic status in cycling at last.

Vingegaard breaks his collarbone in bad crash in Tour of the Basque Country race

Two-time defending Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard was rushed off to hospital in an ambulance after a 12-cyclist mass crash. He was fitted with an oxygen mask and a neck brace.

Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard, second from right, pedals during the fifth stage of the Tirreno Adriatico cycling race, from Torricella Sicura to Valle Castellana, Italy, Friday, March 8, 2024.

Two-time Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard broke his collarbone and several ribs after a horror mass crash during stage four of the Tour of the Basque Country on Thursday, April 4.

"It was a terrible fall but thankfully he is in a stable condition and conscious," his team Visma-Lease a Bike reported on X. "Tests in hospital have revealed that he has suffered a broken collarbone and several ribs. He remains under supervision at the hospital," the team added on the social media platform.

Belgian ace Remco Evenepoel was another to emerge battered and bruised from the horror accident. "Remco will return to Belgium tomorrow to be operated on a broken collarbone and pass further tests at the hospital at Herentals," his Soudal-Quick Step team announced. His injuries have ruled him out of upcoming one-day classics in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Other big names involved in the crash who were taken to hospital were Jay Vine and Steff Cras, while Primoz Roglic was also involved and did not finish the stage. "Over the radio we heard that Jonas was involved in a big crash," said Visma sports director Addy Engels. "We immediately saw that it didn't look good when we arrived to him."

Despite the gravity of Vingegaard's injuries, they came as almost a sense of relief that they were not more serious.

Several of the 12 riders involved in the crash fell into a concrete ditch after sliding off on a corner with around 35 kilometers to go in the run from Etxarri Aranatz to Legutio, in northern Spain. The 2022 and 2023 Tour de France winner Vingegaard was taken to an ambulance on a stretcher, while Belgian Evenepoel was walking but his team Soudal Quick Step confirmed he was also going to hospital.

"Jonas is conscious and will be examined in the hospital now," Visma said on X. "Thank you for your messages. More updates later," they added of their 27-year-old star who won the Basque Tour last year. Roglic offered a thumbs-up to television cameras while sitting in the Bora-Hansgrohe team car, to show he was not significantly injured. UAE Team Emirates said their Australian rider Vine was also taken to hospital but was conscious and talking, along with Team TotalEnergies rider Cras.

The crash happened on the descent from the Alto de Olaeta after a rider in the front of the peloton slid off the road on a right-hand bend. "Horrified by the crash we witnessed today. Our team was spared, but we feel for those who got caught," said team Decathlon-AG2R on X. "We can only wish that all riders involved are not injured too seriously."

'Stage times not counted'

A six-man breakaway was allowed to continue to try and race for the stage win in the final 18km, with Louis Meintjes crossing the line first. "The race is neutralized until the finish line, the six leading riders will compete in the stage but the stage times will not be counted for the general classification," race organizers said. "The bunch will go in neutral until the finish line."

Meintjes finished ahead of second place Reuben Thompson and Vacek Karel in third. "It's not the way you want to win... if there was a challenge for the break I would have been ready to fight for the stage," South African Intermarche-Wanty rider Meintjes told Eurosport. "(What happened) is unfortunate, takes the pleasure out of it, it's maybe a victory but it doesn't feel like it. I don't know what the situation behind was, it must have been pretty bad, I hope everyone has a speedy recovery."

Sean Quinn (EF Education-EasyPost), Alexander Cepeda and Natnael Tesfatsion (Lidl-Trek) were also involved in the crash. Earlier Thursday Roglic's team-mate Lennard Kamna was in a "stable condition" in intensive care after a collision with a car during a training ride in Tenerife.

Roglic, who also fell on Wednesday in stage three but quickly recovered, was leading the overall standings from Evenepoel by seven seconds at the start of racing on Thursday. Friday's fifth and penultimate stage is a 175.9km ride north from Vitoria-Gasteiz to Amorebieta-Etxano.

Tour du Jura Cycliste 2024 : Parcours détaillé

Tour du Jura Cycliste 2024 parcours détaillé

Le Tour du Jura (UCI 1.1) se dispute ce samedi 13 avril sur une distance de 175,9 kilomètres au départ de Domblans avec une arrivée au sommet du Mont Poupet à Salins les Bains. Le tracé accidenté affiche quelque 3.384 mètres de dénivelé positif dont 4 ascensions répertoriées avec un plus haut sommet à 835 mètres d’altitude. Logiquement, les grimpeurs sont les favoris du jour, à commencer par un certain Lenny Martinez (Groupama – FDJ).

En 2023, c’est Kevin Vauquelin (Arkéa – B&B Hotels) qui l’emportait au Mont Poupet en solitaire. Le désormais retraité Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) et Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) complétaient aux 2e et 3e places le podium. De ces trois coureurs, seul Martin est au départ de l’édition 2024 du Tour du Jura.

Tour du Jura Cycliste 2024. La liste des coureurs engagés et favoris

Le parcours détaillé du Tour du Jura Cycliste 2024

Plus les kilomètres du Tour du Jura vont défiler et plus la difficulté du parcours va s’accentuer. Durant les 40 premiers kilomètres de course, les coureurs engagés vont évoluer sur un tracé plutôt favorable. Mais passé ce kilométrage précis, continuellement peloton et échappés vont être en prise avec d’incessantes montées et descentes jusqu’à la montée finale du Mont Poupet (4,1km à 8,2% de pente moyenne) à 835 mètres d’altitude au terme des 175,9 kilomètres de course. Au préalable, il faudra en être passé par la Côte de Château-Chalon (4,6km à 4,3%) au kilomètre 54,1, suivie de la Côte de Chaumois-Boivin (3,6km à 5,4%) située une dizaine de kilomètres plus loin. Et c’est dans la partie finale de course qu’interviendra la troisième et avant-dernière difficulté répertoriée avec la Côte de Thésy (3,6km à 9,1%) . Puis interviendra la montée finale avec un affrontement entre favoris et meilleurs grimpeurs.

Après un court défilé parti depuis la Rue Marius Buisson (Place Sailland) à Domblans, le départ réel sera donné 10 minutes plus tard, à 9h40, au moment où le peloton franchira le kilomètre zéro. Les coureurs vont alors s’élancer pour 175,9 kilomètres de course direction Salins les Bains et le Mont Poupet. A 39 km/h de moyenne, les premiers coureurs devraient franchir la ligne d’arrivée aux environs de 14h40.
