Info @Gazzetta_it about @LeTour 2024 (more details on today paper edition). Florence is likely to host le grand depart - first time for Italy since 1903 - and finish could be in Nice and not in Paris to avoid nearness with Olympic Games in French capital @cycling_podcast
With the 2022 Tour de France close to starting, organizers are deep into making decisions already for the coming seasons and this week there seems to be a substantial amount of information coming out about the 2024 edition, with rumours on a different starting and finishing location.
This was reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, who claim that the finale could avoid the traditional ending in the Champs Élysees in Paris due to it's proximity to the Olympic Games that will be taking place in the same city that year, and instead be heading to Nice which is one of France's most popular cities and already the host of the finale of Paris-Nice every year.

- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.

Good for you, bad for existing clients paying for it who received nothing when they joined, indifferent for future new clients who might get 100.Mistermaumau14-11-2024
- Why don’t you go copy-paste from a reliable scientific site instead of accepting the first info Google provides which is by no means scientific. Like I said before differently, EVERYTHING is poisonous if you replace the Oxygen you need with it. Breathing pure Oxygen will kill most of us in almost every situation (hospital deliver pure oxygen but dilute with air before inhalation so just enrich) fighter pilots and astronauts get pure oxygen because there is almost none in the atmosphere but as the pressure is far lower the concentration in the lungs remains similar to the N78/O21 known as air). nitrogen/oxygen instead of 80/20 (basically air) will likely kill you too. Nitrogen is completely neutral and unabsorbed yet you die from 100% so is it poisonous, no. It’s the wrong DOSE that is poisoning!Mistermaumau14-11-2024
- Well not really news after watching netflix doc . You did not need to be a rocket scientist to notice the body language and Pidcock giving the finger on the Alpe Huez stage .

- Is it only me or new style/format of cyclinguptodate.com is really bad? Too small font in news titles and at the same time everything seems to be so streched that you need scroll and scroll...averagecyclist14-11-2024

- Carbon Monoxide kills you by asphyxiation. It cuts off the oxygen supply to the brain by bonding with hemoglobin better than oxygen. But it's no poisonous since you breathe it everyday. You get too much water in your lungs and you ALSO die of asphyxiation. But tell me, other than bonding with hemoglobin what is deadly about carbon monoxide?Sweep13-11-2024
- No, it's not poisonous. You breath it in every single day of your life. If you live in a dense city you breath in 10X what a rural person breathes. It kills you by asphyxiation. You breathe in water and it also kills you by asphyxiation. Poisoning is a misnomer. You drink too much water and that kills you also. Is water poisonous?Sweep13-11-2024
- Different eras, different equipment, wildly different training with nearly robot-like nutrition requirements, and so on. The thing you can compare is the relative success of riders against their rivals. Maybe it’s fine to just say they stand above the rest of their generation, and be happy with that.RidesHills13-11-2024
