The Grand Depart of the 2024
Tour de France will take place on Italian roads, with a stage from Florence to Rimini. The plan is for an up and down parcour of 206km. Mother Nature may have other plans however.
According to reports by
Sporza, in recent days, this particular region of Italy has been battered by heavy downpours, resulting in some severe flooding in the area. In some places, there has been more than 100 millimetres of rain in the last few days, with the roads between kilometres 63 and 73 of the expected stage 1
profile of the 2024 Tour de France being especially badly affected.
