Tour de France 2023 - Route

The Tour de France 2023 will start with 2 challenging stages in Basque Country (Bilbao) and finishes after 3 weeks at the Champs Élysées in Paris. In the route of this year's Tour the small number of stages that will most certainly end in a bunchsprint is particular. There will be several hilly stages in Basque Country, Alps, Pyrenees, Jura, Vosges and the Massif Central. Moreover, there is only one timetrial of just 22 kilometers. The number of mountain-top finishes is not extreme: 4. Nevertheless, the Tour of 2023 features several of the most famous climbs like Col du Tourmalet, Col d'Aspin, Puy de Dôme, Grand Colombier, Joux Plane, Col de la Loze, Ballon d'Alsace and Col du Platzerwassel.
