The rumours had spread like wildfire and this week it had virtually been confirmed by a report from Gazzetta dello Sport that the ending of the 2024 Tour de France had already been agreed on to finish away from Paris for the first time in a long time, in order to have the finale in the southeastern city of Nice.
This will be the first time in history the race will finish away from Paris and it's surrounding suburbs. The official Tour de France account has shared this morning the news that on the 21st of July 2024 the Tour will have it's finale in Nice - after months of rumours. The finale is expected to be in the famous Promenade des Anglais avenue by the Mediterranean sea.
This is largely due to the Olympic Games which are set to take place in Paris in 2024 and although not directly colliding, the logistic strain behind hosting the Tour finale and the Olympics race in such proximity drove the race organizers to seek other options. With this golden opportunity, it has been the city of Nice - where many pros live, alongside the Monaco area - which has been chosen.

- 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

- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
