As the presentation for both Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes draw near, the rumours about the route become more and more clear. The Col du Tourmalet, one of the Tour's most famous climbs, could give way to a summit finish on the women's race in the coming year.
Nicolas Georgereau, a journalist for RTL France has wrote on social media on some details he believe will feature in the 2023 Tour de France Femmes route. It is known that Clermont-Ferrand will host the Grand Depart, whilst the men's race will have it's first rest day in the central French city. He revealed that finales in Blagnac, Albi and Lannemezan as likely, whilst the race could end in Pau.
He further hinted that there would be a summit finish at the Col du Tourmalet. The Pyrenean climb summits at 2115 meters in altitude, can be climbed through both sides of almost equal difficulty, and has been used a total of 87 times in the men's race - more than any other climb in the event's history. Now, it could add another historic feature to it's reputation, as it is likely to be hosting a finale at the Tour de France Femmes.
Both Tour de France men's and women's routes will be presented this Thursday the 27th of October in Paris.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
