The 2024 Tour de France will begin in Florence, Italy, and slowly the race begins to take shape. As the stages are planned, local sources pick up on likely stages that will be raced. Gravel roads are, most likely, going to be featured in the final day of the first week.
L'est reports that the ninth stage of next year's Tour will be starting and ending in the city of Troyes and will feature several gravel sections. In the Champagne region these roads have a certain reputation, one that the Tour de France is looking to capitalize on.
Being at the end of the first week, this stage will already come after the riders have faced the mountains, but could nonetheless be quite damaging to the overall classification. On the 25th of October it will be known where the Tour will be raced around, however this stage and the presence of the famous Côte des Bar is almost assured.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
