The routes for the 2024 editions of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will be officially presented in Paris on October 25 by race directors Christian Prudhomme and Marion Rousse.
Cyclingnews will have live coverage of the presentation followed by full details of the race routes, rider reactions and analysis.
French race organiser ASO always tries to keep details of the race routes under wraps, while local politicians like to boast about the races visiting their regions to local media, which publish leaks about specific stages or regions.
Thomas Vergouwen patiently collates the details and publishes them on his VeloWire website and even creates a map of the expected route.
The 111th edition of the men’s Tour de France will take place from June 29 to July 21. It starts in Florence, Italy and ends in Nice after three weeks of racing to avoid the preparations for the 2024 Paris Olympics Games that begin a week later.
