The 2024 Tour de France will be a special edition, with it's Grand Depart in Florence and Emilia-Romagna over the border in Italy, and for the first time in many years, a finale away from Paris as the riders will head into Nice for the race finale. It will take place from the 29th June to the 21st of July. We preview the stage ahead.
The final stage of the race. This 35-kilometer route will include the ascents to La Turbie (8.1Km; 6.5%) and a short hilltop to the Col d'Èze (1.6Km; 8.1%) before descending down to Nice where the race will finish this year. A different finale, from Monaco to Nice we are set for a big spectacle.
The start in Monaco will be very stylish but there will only be a few minutes of 'enjoyment' before climbing La Turbie. The ascent will be 8.2 kilometers long at 5.7% and there will be an intermediate point at the top which will provide insight to climbing legs.
After a little bit of rolling roads there is the small Col d'Èze which is 1.6 kilometers at 8.88, those looking to fight for time will go all-out to the limit here as a long descent follows. In time-trial bikes this descent can be dangerous however, it is technical and also quite steep at points. Only the final 5 kilometers then are flat, going back and fourth in the beachside of Nice before reaching the finale of the Tour.
