Sunday July 21st 2024: Monaco - Nice (33.7 km, ITT)

Who will win stage 21 of the Tour de France 2024 according to the computer? The ITT starts in Monaco and finishes after 33.7 kilometers in Nice. Due to the Paris Olympics, there is no traditional finish on the Champs-Élysées this year. No parade with champagne, group photos with smiling faces, and various playful actions, but a seriously tough time trial on the last day of the Tour: it will be a change in routine for both riders and viewers. The fight for the yellow jersey will be decided today along the Côte d'Azur with futuristic time trial helmets on the riders' heads. The time trial is 33.7 KM long and includes two serious climbs in the first part: the long La Turbie (8.1 KM at 5.6%) and the steep Col d’Èze (1.6 KM at 9.3%). Serious climbing, meaning that not all pure time trial specialists will compete for victory. The best GC riders, who generally recover best at the end of a Grand Tour, will probably have most to fight for and most reserves left.

After the climbs, it is still about 17 KM to the finish: all downhill or flat kilometers. Once on the promenade, a U-turn follows about 2 KM from the finish, after which the riders ride in the opposite direction along the promenade and turn towards Place Masséna. This Place Masséna marks the finish line of this Tour. The 111th edition of the Tour de France is finished, and we will officially know who will succeed Jonas Vingegaard.
