PREVIEW | Tour de France 2024 stage 9

The 2024 Tour de France promises to be a unique edition, starting with its Grand Depart in Florence and Emilia-Romagna, just across the border in Italy. For the first time in many years, the race will conclude not in Paris but in Nice, adding a fresh twist to its prestigious history. Scheduled from June 29th to July 21st, let's delve into a preview of the upcoming stage.

Perhaps the most anticipated stage of the whole race! In the second Sunday of the race the peloton will start and finish the stage in Troyes. A loop which will include 14 sectors of gravel roads, totaling to 32 kilometers in total (most of which in the final two thirds of the stage). There are hills also to contest in the day, but into the city there will be plenty fast and treacherous sections.

The sectors have the following stars (based on difficulty by the race itself), distance and also distance to the finish at the end of the sector. The following sector numbers are as presented by the race and not the profile above.

Sector 14 - 1 star. 2Km. 149Km to go.

Sector 13 - 3 stars. 1.2Km. 131Km to go.

Sector 12 - 2 stars. 1.5Km. 101Km to go.

Sector 11 - 3 stars . 3.4Km. 90Km to go.

Sector 10 - 3 stars. 4.2Km. 75.5Km to go.

Sector 9 - 1 star. 2.2Km. 64.5Km to go.

Sector 8 - 3 stars. 3.9Km. 54Km to go.

After this point there will be no more climbing, but instead flat gravel roads. Less difficulty on the road but faster and more treacherous sector, with positioning also being more important. Sector 7 comes right after the descent, but the final six sectors then will be tightly packed together.

Sector 7 - 1 star. 2.2Km. 44.5Km to go.

Sector 6 - 1 star. 1.2Km. 32Km to go.

Sector 5 - 1 star. 1.8Km. 28Km to go.

Sector 4 - 1 star. 1.5Km. 22Km to go.

Sector 3 - 1 star. 1.9Km. 19Km to go.

Sector 2 - 2 star. 2.2Km. 14Km to go.

Sector 1 - 2 star. 3Km. 6.5Km to go.
