NBC Sports airs every stage of the 110th Tour de France, including live daily start-to-finish coverage on Peacock .

Additional encores of each stage air on USA at 2 a.m. ET most days. All NBC and USA Network coverage also streams on NBCSports.com/live and the NBC Sports app. Complete broadcast information is here .

Peacock will also air daily live pre-race shows setting up each stage.

The Tour began July 1 with the Grand Départ in Spain before crossing into France on the third stage.

The Tour covers France’s five biggest mountain ranges, including eight mountain stages and four summit finishes.

The Tour will not have a time trial on the penultimate day as it did the last three years. Instead, the 20th stage, usually the last competitive stage for the yellow jersey, includes five significant climbs.

This is the first Tour since 2009 to include the last three men to win a Tour. That’s Dane Jonas Vingegaard, who went from a fish-packing facility worker years ago to the top of pro cycling in 2022; Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, who in 2020 became at 21 the second-youngest winner in race history, then repeated in 2021, and Colombian Egan Bernal, who in 2019 became the first South American to win the Tour.

Mark Cavendish, a 38-year-old Brit aiming to break his tie for the career Tour de France stage wins record of 34, crashed out in the eighth stage of his final Tour.

Tour de France 2023: How to watch, schedule, odds and storylines you need to know

The Tour de France returns Saturday for its 110th edition, this time beginning in Spain’s Basque Country, and will end on Sunday, July 23, in Paris. As always, the race — which recently got the “Drive to Survive”-style docuseries treatment on Netflix — will feature 21 stages. There will be eight flat stages, four hilly stages, eight mountain stages with four summit finishes, just one individual time trial (down from the usual two) and two rest days.

Here’s what you need to know to follow along:

How to watch the 2023 Tour de France

Peacock, NBC and USA Network will carry the Tour in the United States (NBC Sports and the Tour recently announced a six-year extension of their exclusive U.S. rights agreement, which now runs through 2029).

Peacock will stream every stage live and have daily pre-race shows. The streamer will also have stage replays, recaps, highlights, rider interviews and more, NBC Sports said.

Phil Liggett, a.k.a. “the voice of cycling,” will be on the call for his 51st tour, joined by analyst Bob Roll. Steve Porino and former professional cyclist Christian Vande Velde will also be reporting from on site, with the latter giving real-time updates while traveling the course on a motorcycle.

For the first time, NBC Sports’ broadcasts will feature clips from team radio, like communication between team directors and riders.

FloSports will stream the event in Canada.

How long is the Tour de France route?

This year’s route runs about 3,406 kilometers (about 2,116 miles). Stage 2, the longest single stage, is 209 km (about 130 miles).

The 22.4-km (about 14-mile) time trial will be held in the Alps in Stage 16.

How much money is on the line?

A total of €2.3 million (about $2.5 million) will be given out to the teams and riders, including €500,000 (about $546,000) to the winner of the overall individual classification.

How many riders are on the Tour?

Each of the 22 teams this year has eight riders, making for 176 total.

Riders to watch

This year is expected to be a two-man battle for the general classification between two-time winner Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), who emerged triumphant last year.

The 24-year-old Pogačar, regarded as the rider of his generation, was poised for a third straight title last year before Vingegaard, backed by a strong Jumbo-Visma squad, spoiled the campaign in the mountains. While the Slovenian Pogačar often has to fend for himself, the Danish Vingegaard, 26, has the backing of a “superteam” that includes do-it-all Belgian Wout van Aert and American Sepp Kuss to deliver him the yellow jersey.

Pogačar will undoubtedly be out for revenge, but questions are swirling about his fitness after he broke his wrist in a race earlier this year and had to miss some time. Whichever way the race goes, it’s always worth a reminder that this pair gave us an iconic moment of sportsmanship last year.

In the “last dance” category, we have British veteran Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan), French fan favorite Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) and Slovakian sprint star Peter Sagan (TotalEnergies). All three plan to retire after the 2023 season (though Sagan said he plans to compete in mountain biking at the Paris Olympics).

Cavendish, 38, has 34 stage wins on the Tour — tied for the most ever with Eddy Merckx (who reached the mark in 1975). Cavendish is seeking one last win in his 14th Tour to retire as the record-holder after sitting out last year.

The 33-year-old Pinot won the young rider classification in 2014 and has since won three stages, most recently in 2019 (when he had to abandon the race with two stages to go after tearing a leg muscle while in fifth place).

Sagan, 33, owns a record seven green jersey wins and has won 12 stages, the last coming in 2019.

Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers), the last man not named Pogačar or Vingegaard to win the Tour, will be in the peloton for the first time since 2020 after returning from a near-fatal crash in January 2022.

If you’ve followed the last few tours, you might also be wondering what’s up with Primož Roglič. The 2020 runner-up had to abandon the 2021 Tour before the ninth stage, and after starting the 2022 race as a Jumbo-Visma co-leader with Vingegaard, dropped out before the final rest day due to injuries. He did win the Giro d’Italia in May, but said he would take a break from racing to celebrate.

Beyond the general classification, you can monitor the additional races within the Tour: for the green jersey (points classification, generally considered a sprint competition) and polka dot jersey (king of the mountains).

2023 Tour de France route

From the Basque Country to Paris and all the stages in between

The 2023 Tour de France got underway on July 1st in Bilbao, Spain with another demanding route that includes only a single 22km hilly time trial in the Alps and mountain stages in all five of France’s mountain ranges. From the Grand Départ in the Basque Country to the finish in Paris, Cyclingnews has all the route details.

The very limited amount of time trialling and preponderance of mountains no doubt suits French riders  Thibaut Pinot , David Gaudu and Romain Bardet. As a result, Remco Evenepoel, Primoz Roglič and Geraint Thomas targeted the Giro d’Italia, which had three times the amount of time trialling and fewer mountains.

Official information from race organiser ASO claimed the 3,404km route includes eight flat stages for the sprinters, four hilly stages suited to breakaways and eight mountain stages. Four of these include summit finishes: in the Pyrenees at Cauterets-Cambasque, on the legendary Puy de Dôme volcano in the Massif Central, on the Grand Colombier in the Jura and at Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc in the Alps.

Tour de France 2023 route revealed Tour de France stage-by-stage previews 2023 Tour de France to start in the Basque Country 2023 Tour de France set to return to Puy de Dome mountain finish

The other mountain stages are also extremely difficult, even if some are short and extra intense.

Stage 14 to Morzine includes 4,200m of climbing, alongside the mighty Col de Joux Plane and its testing descent to the finish. Stage 15 ends with the 11% ‘wall’ of Côte des Amerands and then the 7km 7.7% climb up to Saint-Gervais in view of Mont-Blanc.       

Stage 17 to Courchevel is arguably the queen stage, climbing the 2,304m-high Col de la Loze and then descends to finish on the altiport runway. Stage 20 is a final brutal multi-mountain stage in the Vosges between Belfort and Le Markstein ski resort.

The only time trial is on stage 16 in the Arve Valley near Sallanches after the second rest day, but the 22km route between Passy and Combloux will test riders' bike handling skills and climbing as much as their time trialling. The stage includes the Côte de Domancy, where Bernard Hinault forged his 1980 Worlds victory, and which also featured as part of the final week time trial in the 2016 Tour.

2022 Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard was arguably the best climber of the last two editions of the Tour and he appears to have plenty of opportunities to go on the attack on the steep ascents in 2023.

Two-time winner  Tadej Pogačar  will no doubt relish the route on offer for next July’s challenge against Vingegaard, Jumbo-Visma, Ineos Grenadiers and anyone else.

Tour de France 2023: Victor Lafay wins stage two – as it happened

Victor Lafay surprised the big names to steal a stage win in San Sebastian after a tough day in the Basque Country

• 2 Jul 2023 Victor Lafay wins stage two!
• 2 Jul 2023 Preamble

Right, that’s it from me today. Be sure to join us again on Monday when all eyes will be on Mark Cavendish and that record.

Here’s Jeremy Whittle’s snap report:

Here’s Victor Lafay on his victory: “In the last metres, I looked down at my computer, I saw 500 metres, 400 metres, I said to myself I will inevitably be caught at 50 metres. It’s sick.”

Tadej Pogacar mimicking Van Aert’s reaction at the finish …

How mad was Wout, Tadej? 😂 #TDF2023 #ITVCycling pic.twitter.com/RQncsH0D89 — ITV Cycling (@itvcycling) July 2, 2023

So Adam Yates stays in yellow , and barring accidents will keep it until at least stage five you’d think, given a couple of flat stages now lie ahead. He’s six seconds ahead of Tadej Pogacar and his brother Simon. Victor Lafay moves up to fourth, 12 seconds back, with Van Aert fifth at 16 seconds. Vingegaard is sixth, another second back.

That winning feeling:

🏆 🇫🇷 @victorlafay wins in San Sebastián! 🏆🇫🇷 Monstrueux @victorlafay qui fait le coup du kilomètre ! #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/8pF0zjlZqA — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 2, 2023

Van Aert crossed the line second, with Pogacar third and Pidcock in fifth.

Victor Lafay wins stage two!

He’s done it! The Frenchman wins for Cofidis! It’s the team’s first win since 2008. Van Aert punches his bars in frustration but that was such a powerful attack with 900m to go from Lafay.

Lafay attacks and gets a gap!

Into the final kilometre. This is Van Aert’s to lose surely …

2km to go. Jumbo-Visma order restored.

And Pidcock has a go off the front! Van Aert shuts him down but the Ineos man has at least disrupted the Jumbo-Visma train.

3km to go and into the streets of outer San Sebastian. Still Jumbo-Visma set the pace and look to set things up for Van Aert.

4km to go. A collective intake of breath.

5km to go. The Jumbo train chomps up the plucky Bilbao and we’re all back together. The German champion Emanuel Buchmann has a dig at the front now.

6km to go. Keldermann is on the front for Jumbo-Visma, with his teammates Tiesj Benoot and Wout van Aert on his wheel.

8km to go. Bilbao has a tiny gap and is not looking back. Jumbo-Visma, though, have plenty of ammunition for Wout van Aert to use in an attempt to bring him back.

And the elite group is back together. With 12km of downhill and flat to go to the finish in San Sebastian. Tom Pidcock is there, as is Egan Bernal. Van Aert, Michael Woods, David Gaudu, the Yateses, Victor Lafay, Roman Bardet, Jack Haig, Bettiol and Benoot too. Pello Bilbao is on the front and is dropping like a stone along these roads.

15km to go. Pogacar and Vingegaard have opened up a 13 second gap. Bu the group will get back to them, I reckon.

Vingegaard and Pogacar get their heads down and sprint for the line. Pogacar takes it and the bonus eight seconds, and in doing so the pair have hugely distanced the rest. Wow. Can anyone catch them on the descent?

Simon Yates powers past his brother, with Vingegaard and Pogacar on his wheel and 150m to the top …

The noise along the road is deafening as Majka continues to wind things up with 700m to the summit. He hands over to Adam Yates, resplendent in yellow, who might fancy himself some bonus points at the top …

Alaphilippe has also been dropped, taking out a contender for today’s stage. Van Aert, I think, is still in the lead group, which is down to 25 riders at most.

2km to the summit. These are the steeper slopes of this climb. Majka has shredded the group.

Majka has brought the gap down to 10 seconds in the blink of an eye. And indeed, the group sweep past Powless, with 19km to go to the finish.

UAE’s Rafal Majka takes the pace up at the front of the pack and starts stringing things out in the group …

Despite the pace, the peloton remains a bulky one, with at least half the field still in there.

Powless has done the polka dots proud today but he’s going to be swallowed up soon enough. With 5km to the summit, the gap is down to 39 seconds.

6km to the summit and the fans are already thick on the verges. Adam Yates is nicely placed, on Pogacar’s wheel. Vingegaard and Van Aert are right on their shoulders.

Powless hits the Jaizkibel – 8.2km at an average gradient of 5.3%. That’s a slightly misleading description in a way: the first half of the cllimb is closer to a 4% average, and the final 4km well over 7%. A minute down the road the peloton also begin to climb …

26km to go. Jumbo-Visma have hopped on the front of the chase now, as Powless gets the smell of sea air in his nostrils next to the Bay of Biscay. The gap is coming down a touch now …

30km to go. UAE keep the heat on at the front and Powless has just 1min 54sec now.

Vingegaard is being navigated back to the front by his Jumbo-Visma teammates. Drama over.

Powless powers clear of Boasson Hagen as the summit approaches.

A nasty crash in the peloton – as the road bottlenecked next to a roundabout – with a couple of Lotto riders down and Vingegaard suffering a puncture. Everyone is back on their bikes thankfully though that was a worrying moment.

38km to go and the lead duo are approaching the foot of the Cote de Gurutze. After the climb – 2.6km at 4.7% – there’s a short descent, a flat section as we kiss the border with France and a big u-turn along the coast as they turn back towards the day’s big climb, the Alto de Jaizkibel, and the run in to San Sebastian.

“All in,” EF-Education tell Neilson Powless. “All the cards are on the table.” He and Boasson Hagen have two minutes but, given the UAE approach behind, surely it’s a forlorn effort.

Plenty of discussion about UAE’s tactics today: they’ve kept the pressure on all day at the front. Needlessly?

50km to go. The gap is stable for now at just over two minutes.

Matteo Trentin, who has spent a good chunk of the day organising the UAW effort on the front of the peloton, looks like he has taken a tumble. He’s a bit scuffed up and needs a new bike. His teammate Bjerg, who has borne the brunt of Trentin’s organisational exhortations today, continues with the hammer down at the front.

The lead pair still have two minutes as they reach the bottom of the hill and zip through the town of Villabona. And the peloton are safely down too – strung out a little along the road, but safely down nevertheless. The heat just comes out of the chase a touch, deep breaths all round.

What goes up … The lead pair, Powless on the front, head down the descent, with the roads seemingly a little drier further down the hill. Hey, it’s Race Radio! “Now’s the moment,” EF-Education tells Neilson Powless.

Enda emails with a thought on Alex Whitney’s question about training for descents : “From what I’ve seen or heard there’s no single answer to this question. I think outside of training camps riders often ride the single lane of wider roads, maybe also sending someone ahead and keeping someone back to watch for traffic. Unfortunately there have been accidents with traffic in the past. Domenicio Pozzovivo’s career was nearly ended by a collision with a driver some years ago and I think it was at the bottom of a descent.

“When it comes to the narrower roads I believe that team training camps often seek out remote locations at high altitude so perhaps it’s also easier to close the roads for half an hour in these places. I mean, I grew up in Ireland where traffic often has to give way for cattle crossing or a road bowling meet … maybe WT teams just put a man in a flat-cap at the bottom of the hill telling you you have to wait for 20 mins.”

Powless (“More Powful than Powless,” suggests Lizz Poulter on email) and Boasson Hagen approach the summit through a narrowing corridor of Basque flags. If the fans are like this out here what are they going to be like on Jaizkibel? It should be something to see.

70km to go. And 1.7km to the summit of this climb. The gap is down to two minutes, as Powless and Boasson Hagen continue up front.

Half a dozen riders are briefly delayed as Lutsenko comes off and a couple of Ineos riders tumble into him. It was slow speed and pretty much everyone stayed on their feet, so all seems fine.

Up we go! The Côte d’Alkiza is too much for Remi Cavagna, who leaves Boasson Hagen and Powless as a breakaway pair.

“Morning from Turks and Caicos,” writes Joanna Gray. “Not sure quite what the race radio part has given to the coverage. Yesterday I only saw the bit where they said Soler was coming back with water bottles. Surely teams won’t release their inner tactics?? Thoughts?”

Hmm. It’s obviously something that works really well in F1 and provides some of the best bits of the coverage during grand prix. They’ve not quite nailed it so far on the Tour, today and yesterday at least. Ineos’s Steve Cummings telling his team it was a “high fuelling” moment a bit ago was only really instructive to fans of inner-team jargon. And the commentators haven’t quite learned to back off when the little logo comes up. Perhaps it’s just teething problems and we’ll get some great insights later in the race. We shall see.

“Could you chaps please coordinate so the climax of this stage and the cricket don’t coincide?” pleads Paul Griffin. We’re probably 90 minutes or so from the finish here. Meanwhile at Lord’s …

The rain has intensified with the Côte d’Alkiza imminent and the lead trio navigating the fan-lined streets of Toloso. Watch out for slippery road markings.

78km to go. The gap has come down to 2min 35sec.

Mark Cavendish is one of the riders off the back. Was never going to be his day today in any case – he’s got a couple of big days ahead of him over the next couple of stages. This climb has put quite a few under pressure, despite not being categorised.

Coming out of the feed zone we have a bit of a split at the rear of the peloton. Could be more “comfort break” chicanery, could be a few sprinters losing touch.

Tour de France 2023 LIVE: Result and winner from stage 2 today

Victor Lafay won stage two of the Tour de France in San Sebastian to end a 15-year wait for the Cofidis team to enjoy victory in their home race as Adam Yates retained the yellow jersey.

Lafay timed a late attack to perfection as he broke clear of a peloton reduced to just 24 riders as they passed under the flamme rouge, then just hanging on to beat pre-stage favourite Wout Van Aert to the line.

Yates was in the lead group to keep yellow with team-mate Tadej Pogacar third on the stage to hoover up a few more bonus seconds, finishing just ahead of Pello Bilbao and Tom Pidcock.

Follow all the latest updates from stage two below:

Tour de France Stage Two

121km to go - more mountain points for powless, 127km to go - powless claims first mountain points of stage two, 165km to go - boasson hagen takes maximum sprint points.

Adam Yates took yellow jersey after stage-one victory over twin brother, Simon

Stage two sees riders cycle 209km from Vitoria-Gasteiz to San Sebastian

Tour de France 2023 began with Grand Depart in Bilbao

VICTOR LAFAY WINS STAGE TWO!

16:25 , Ben Fleming

That is the first Tour stage win for team Cofidis since 2008 - 15 long years of wait ended in superb style by Lafay. He had a great day yesterday and has followed it up superbly today.

Wout van Aert slams his handlebars in frustration as he sprints through in second.

Pogacar claims third.

16:22 , Ben Fleming

Wow! What a move from Victor Lafay at the death. Jumbo-Visma swallowed the charges from Pidcock and Skjelmose but the Cofidis rider makes a burst a kilometre from the line and is able to create a gap.

Kelderman tries to bring Jumbo-Visma back into it but the Frenchman is able to hold on down the straight. What a performance!

2km to go - Pidcock in contention

16:17 , Ben Fleming

Wout van Aert is the favourite from this position with three Jumbo-Visma riders with him. Britain’s Tom Pidcock wants to try and take it out of his hands with a charge but he’s swiftly caught.

Skjelmose tries his luck but Van Aert catches him again.

4km to go - everything to play for

16:15 , Ben Fleming

Bilbao is caught and the leading pack are all together as we approach the final 4.

All to play for.

8km to go - Bilbao makes a charge

16:10 , Ben Fleming

Out of the newly reformed pack, it’s Pello Bilbao of Bahrain Victorious who makes the next move. Can the Spaniard hold on for a famous win in front of his home crowd?

11km to go - chasing pack catches up

16:08 , Ben Fleming

Vingegaard didn’t want to work with Pogacar towards the end and that allows the chasing back, with the likes of Yates, Wout van Aert and Tom Pidcock all joining up.

16km to go - Pogacar claims bonus seconds

16:05 , Ben Fleming

There are bonus seconds available at the top of Jaizkibel and it’s Simon Yates, in the green jersey, who makes the first move to try and claim the full eight.

He’s followed by who else but Pogacar and Vingegaard. The reigning champ goes past Yates but it’s Pogacar who sneaks in front at the end to claim the eight seconds.

It’s now the two favourites out on their own as they make the wet descent down into San Sebastian.

18km to go - Powless caught by peloton

15:59 , Ben Fleming

Rafal Maijka is leading a thunderous charge at the top of the peloton for UAE and several big names have been left behind by the pace set.

One of those is Neilson Powless who is finally swallowed up by the peloton. A gutsy ride by the American who just misses out on the mountain points on offer at the top of this climb. He’ll maintain the polka-dot jersey for tomorrow, though.

20km to go - Peloton closes in on Powless

15:52 , Ben Fleming

The lead to the top is around 30 seconds and Powless looks like he’ll be caught before the top of the climb. At the front of the peloton, Vingegaard and Pogacar are well placed as are brothers Simon and Adam Yates.

Mathieu van der Poel is one who has fallen off and he won’t be in contention in the closing stages.

25km to go - Jaizkibel climb upcoming

15:45 , Ben Fleming

Powless approaches the final climb of the day. And boy, is it a big climb at 8.1km and an average gradient of 5.3%.

It’s significantly longer than Cote de Pike climb that ended stage one yesterday. On top of that, there’s a 16.5km run-in today which is 5km more than yesterday.

Plenty of work for Powless to do and plenty of time for the peloton to catch him.

Back in the peloton, everyone is jostling for position before the climb. Jumbo-Visma and Ineos Grenadiers looking prominent. UAE Emirates haven’t got the same numbers as their rival teams up near the front having lead the peloton for much of the day.

33km to go - Neilson Powless pushes into solo lead

15:37 , Ben Fleming

Oh, that’s a nasty collision as they come around a roundabout. Lotto Dstny’s Maxim Van Gils is the most affected and looks a bit shaken up but he’s back up and appears okay.

Ben O’Connor appeared to be involved and there was a concern for Jonas Vingegaard as well as he slide back down the peloton with what appeared to be a mechanical issue. Both are fine, thankfully.

Up ahead and Powless has now surged ahead of Boasson-Hagen who he’s been riding with up front all day. The American collects another point in the King of Mountian race as he climbs the Cote de Gurutze but if he’s going to win this stage, it’s going to be on his now.

40km - Powless urged to push for win

15:24 , Ben Fleming

The call comes in from EF Education-EasyPost to their rider Powless in the breakaway group: “Now we’re all in. The cards are on the table. You two are going to have to go.” You would expect nothing else given how the American has ridden so far but his team are urging him to try and keep pushing for the stage win.

Back in the peloton, Jumbo-Visma are taking on a more prominent position at the front as they try to get Jonas Vingegaard in a position to make a late charge.

Cavagna, meanwhile, who was in the breakaway group earlier, has now fallen off the peloton altogether.

50km to go - Powless and Boasson Hagen still out in front

15:13 , Lawrence Ostlere

The leading duo have managed to maintain a steady pace together as they enter the final 50km, and the UAE-led peloton looks happy enough with the state of play. The stage win is very much up for grabs, as is the yellow jersey – Adam Yates would retain it as it stands.

There is a small category four climb coming up before the big one – the Jaizkibel (8.1km climb at 5.3%) – and then the descent towards the finish here in San Sebastian, whether thousands of fans are waiting for the race to arrive along the beachfront, across a bridge from the picturesque old town which I just had a little potter around in the rain.

60km to go - Neilson Powless secures polka dots

14:58 , Lawrence Ostlere

Neilson Powless has ensured he will keep the polka dot jersey for another day after going first over the top of the third of five climbs of the day, and he heads down the other side with Boasson Hagen on his wheel. Their advantage is now down to 1min 50sec and it feels unlikely they will get to the finish line without being caught.

The rain is coming down on the peloton – it’s going to be a potentially treacherous finish on the Jaizkibel.

70km to go - breakaway three become two

14:43 , Lawrence Ostlere

Neilson Powles and Edvald Boasson Hagen have dropped Remi Cavagna! The breakaway trio has become two, and their lead is diminishing. It is down to around two minutes now.

Back in the peloton there’s a small crash, but it was uphill at low speed, and it looks as if everyone involved is OK.

Tour de France 2023 stage-by-stage guide

14:34 , Lawrence Ostlere

Here’s a closer look at what’s coming through the rest of the Tour, with back-to-back flat days coming up for the sprinters as the peloton crosses the French border:

Stage-by-stage guide to the 2023 Tour de France route

80km to go - UAE up the pace to reel in breakaway

14:28 , Lawrence Ostlere

UAE Emirates continue to keep the gap to the front under careful control and Marc Soler puts in an effort on the latest climb to bring the breakaway’s advantage down to less than three minutes. They’ve had enough.

Such is the pace that Mark Cavendish is dropped on the climb – he’ll have several Astana helpers to get him through the rest of the day, but that’s earlier than might be expected. Tomorrow is Cavendish’s first potential chance at the historic 35th Tour stage win.

90km to go - UAE Emirates still leading the peloton

14:11 , Ben Fleming

The race just ticking over at the minute as the leaders maintain a lead of around three minutes and 30 seconds as they complete a rather sharp uncategorised climb.

Back in the peloton, it is still UAE Emirates doing most of the work at the front. They largely sat back yesterday - coming to the fore later on - but, with the yellow jersey from day one, perhaps they feel like they need to be in greater control when they decide to chase down the breakaway group later on.

104km to go - halfway stage

13:50 , Ben Fleming

The lead for the trio in front has crept up above four minutes again as we reach the halfway point of stage two. A reminder who is in that breakaway group - Neilson Powles (EF Education-EasyPost) alongside Edvald Boasson Hagen (TotalEnergies) and Remi Cavagna (Soudal-Quick Step).

13:31 , Ben Fleming

After a short descent, the leaders have another climb shortly after. The Côte d’Aztiria is only a category four, so just the one point on offer, but Powless climbs through a busy section of road - lined with cheering fans on both sides - to snaffle it up.

Worth noting that those couple of climbs have brought down the gap between the leading trio and the peloton. It was up around five minutes at one stage but now sits at around three and a half minutes.

13:21 , Ben Fleming

The American already has the Polka Dot jersey from stage one and he extends his lead with another couple of points after the category three Col d’Udana climb.

Edvald Boasson Hagen and Remi Cavagna are alongside him in the leading trio but neither contest for the points and Powless lets out a small punch of the air as he reaches the top of the climb.

135km to go - gap grows to five minutes

13:09 , Ben Fleming

More rain in the air as the lead grows to five minutes for the trio up front who now approach the first categorised climb of the day.

Lawrence Ostlere reports from San Sebastián

12:54 , Ben Fleming

Before that climb, it’s the perfect time to check in with The Independent’s Lawrence Ostlere, who sends in this report from the end point of today’s stage:

I have just arrived in a very wet San Sebastián, where a heavy downpour has just soaked the finish of this stage two.

It looks nice and sunny where the riders are right now, making their way across the Basque Country, but after another 100km they will face the testing finale of this day and wet conditions could be a big factor in deciding who wins the race – particularly on the fast descent from the Jaizkibel climb.

Avoiding incident will be the order of the day for many.

150km to go - category three climb upcoming

12:48 , Ben Fleming

There’s a nice descent now before the first categorised climb of the day - the Col d’Udana. Powles in the breakaway three will be eyeing up more mountain points to extend his lead in the King of the Mountains standing.

The breakaway lead has levelled off at around 4mins 30 but that’s still a healthy one and bigger than we had at any point yesterday.

12:30 , Ben Fleming

The TotalEnergies rider takes maximum points in the intermediate sprint after 40km as part of the breakaway group but there’s more intrigue in the peloton for the remaining points.

Jayco-Alula were near the front of the peloton and try to provide a platform for Dylan Groenewegan but he falls from contention and, in the end, it’s DSM-Firmenich’s Sam Welsford who looks to have taken fourth place behind the leading three in the sprint.

Or does he? Well, it appears that actually, it was Jasper Philipsen that claimed fourth for Alpecin-Deceuninck. And a photo finish confirms it, the Belgian just edged out Welsford to take 13 points.

170km to go - rain in the air

12:18 , Ben Fleming

Some signs that there could be a bit of rain today which would certainly add a different element to the action.

UAE Emirates are controlling the peloton with Jayco-Alula riders just behind them. Certainly not a fast pace being set thus far and the breakaway group have been allowed to extend their lead to around four and a half minutes.

185km - breakaway lengthens gap

12:01 , Ben Fleming

The three up front lead by over 3 minutes now as the peloton appears to have split into two further back.

Yesterday the peloton was quite happy to let the breakaway group go knowing that they could be caught later on. Early signs look similar today.

195km to go - breakaway trio forms

11:48 , Ben Fleming

Now we do have a break which sticks. It’s just three riders this time but it includes current King of the Mountains Neilson Powles (EF Education-EasyPost) alongside Edvald Boasson Hagen (TotalEnergies) and Remi Cavagna (Soudal-Quick Step).

They have a lead of about a minute now.

200km to go - lively start

11:41 , Ben Fleming

As soon as the flag is waved, there are attacks right from the off. Victor Campanaerts tries his luck but no gaps appear. A bigger group does begin to emerge including Pascal Eekhoorn, who was part of that breakaway five yesterday.

Sprinter Mads Pedersen joins the group who briefly move away from the peloton but they are soon swallowed back up into the pack as Jumbo-Vismo shut down the break.

And we’re off!

11:35 , Ben Fleming

A slight delay as Stan Dewulf makes his way back to the peloton after an early puncture but the yellow flag is waved and we are underway!

Two big withdrawals after stage one

11:34 , Ben Fleming

It’s worth noting that today’s stage will start without two riders - Enric Mas (Movistar) and Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) - after the pair were involved in a crash yesterday.

Mas didn’t finish the race yesterday and immediately withdrew. Carapaz, meanwhile, did manage to finish the stage but withdrew this morning having suffered a fracture in his left kneecap.

Both were key riders for their teams and looking for top-ten finishes in the general classification so it’s a big blow for both teams.

Jumbo’s Death Star, Pidcock’s dog and Basque pride: Inside the Tour de France’s Grand Depart

Lawrence Ostlere is the man on the ground in the Basque country for The Independent . He’ll have updates throughout the day but yesterday, he went behind-the-scenes to take a look at all the action from the Grand Depart in Bilbao.

Stage Two preview

11:20 , Ben Fleming

The 2023 Tour de France continues with another hilly day in the Basque Country as the peloton travels from Vitoria-Gasteiz to the picturesque city of San Sebastian, finishing on the beachfront.

This will be a taxing day for two reasons: firstly, it is the longest stage of this year’s Tour at 209km; and because the final hill – the Jaizkibel – is a draining 8.1km at an average gradient of 5.3%.

The Jaizkibel is a famous climb in these parts and often the decisive point of the Clasica de San Sebastian race. Riders in this year’s Tour to have won the Clasica include double world champion Julian Alaphilippe , America’s Neilson Powless, Ineos’s Michal Kwiatkowski and the man in the yellow jersey, Adam Yates .

Stage one recap

Adam Yates beat twin brother Simon to victory on the opening stage of the Tour de France to take the yellow jersey in Bilbao.

The pair, riding for rival teams, went clear from a select group at the top of the Cote de Pike towards the end of the lumpy opening 182km stage and opened up a gap on the descent back into town.

Having opened up a gap of 20 seconds on a chasing group, the brothers knew the fight was between themselves on the uphill sprint to the finish line and it was Adam who had the power to ride away at the very end, winning by four seconds to take yellow for the second time in his career.

Adam Yates beats twin brother Simon to opening stage win and yellow jersey

Welcome back

11:11 , Ben Fleming

After a dramatic and historic finish to the first stage of this year’s Tour de France, we are back for stage two in the Basque country.

The yellow jersey will begin the day on British shoulders after Adam Yates sensationally beat his twin brother Simon to the line in Bilbao on stage one. Whether he keeps it will depend on whether a breakaway can form and stay away to the finish line – if so, any number of fringe riders could win the day, but they will need climbing legs to get over the testing final ascent, the Jaizkibel – a draining 8.1km climb at an average gradient of 5.3%.

Tour de France 2023: our selection of the most beautiful mountain stages

Inspiration

Cycling Tourism Nature and Outdoor Activities Sporting Activities Mountains

Reading time: 0 min Published on 4 December 2023, updated on 15 April 2024

The most famous cycle race in the world, the Tour de France will be taking to the skies once again this year, as the 3,404km and 21 stages will take in all 5 of France's mountain ranges! The Pyrenees, the Auvergne volcanoes, the Jura mountains, the Alps and the Vosges massif... The peloton has plenty of pedalling to do and plenty of climbing to do. The grandiose landscapes, the high altitude finishes and the dizzying descents promise to be emotional highs. To experience the highs (and lows) of the Grand Loop, saddle up with our selection of the most beautiful mountain stages.

From Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque, the Pyrenees take centre stage

After 3 stages on the Spanish side, welcome to the French Pyrenees! First there's Bayonne and the Basque country, Dax and its thermal baths, Pau and its beautiful castle where King Henry IV was born. And then there's Tarbes, with its breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, its palm-lined streets (yes, yes!) and its gourmet markets. The riders of the 2023 Tour de France will need a lot of courage to tear themselves away from this gentle way of life and tackle the climbs of the Aspin and terrible Tourmalet cols . The reward for all this climbing is a finish on the Cambasque plateau, overlooking the charming resort of Cauterets, in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park, where the Pic du Midi is enthroned. Want to cool off? Try the hike to the peaceful Lac d'Ilhéou . In a green setting with magnificent views and waterfalls, picnics and swimming...

The Puy de Dôme, a feast for the eyes in Auvergne

The ascent of Puy de Dôme, the undisputed star of the Auvergne, will be one of the highlights of the 2023 Tour de France! The youngest and highest volcano in the Puys chain has not featured on the itinerary for 35 years. Taking on this fearsome and majestic peak and finishing with a 360° view over the gentle rolling hills of the Parc naturel régional des Volcans d'Auvergne is sure to motivate many a rider! But did you know that you can also climb this peaceful giant by mule track or on board the Panoramique des Dômes, a picturesque little cogwheel train? In just 15 minutes, you'll be transported to an altitude of 1,465 m, with the 80 volcanoes of the Puy range and the Limagne fault (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site at your feet. To complete a stage that's full of fireworks, the Vulcania Park is not far away! Who can beat that?

Breathtaking escapes in the Jura

Expect to fall under the spell of Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne! Just 1 hour from Lyon and the Monts du Beaujolais, this small town in the Ain département, from which the Tour de France 2023 peloton will set off on 14 July, is a delightful medieval town. With its pink stone houses, flower-bedecked bridges and old market hall housing one of France's most popular traditional markets, it is also the gateway to the Dombes region, a paradise for fish farmers and birdwatchers with its landscapes of water and ponds. Take advantage of this area on foot, by boat or, ideally, by bike (it's flat!), before taking to the heights of the Montagnes du Jura , just a stone's throw away. The Pyramide du Bugey, from the top of which you can see Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva, is a must-see. The Tour de France riders attack it via the Col du Grand Colombier. At top speed. Take your time, the panorama is well worth it!

In the Alps, between lakes and legendary passes

It's doubtful that the riders will enjoy the view of Lake Geneva as they take their first pedal to the metal in the Alps at Annemasse on stage 14 of the Tour de France 2023. We recommend this one, though, as well as the view of Lake Annecy and its turquoise waters. Then it's time for a series of twists and turns and climbs to the legendary passes of the Alps, including the famous Col du Feu, an unprecedented climb for the peloton. At an altitude of 1,000 metres, in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area, the stage finish in Morzine won't dampen the spirits of those who love nature. In summer, the little village resort in the Alps is an ideal playground for lovers of outdoor activities : a stroll along the Dérêches river, swimming in Lake Montriond, canyoning or via ferrata... the hardest thing will be to choose.

From Gets to Saint-Gervais, Mont Blanc in your sights

For the first time since its creation, the Tour de France will start from Les Gets. Well-known to mountain bikers (the World Championships were held there in 2022), the pretty Alpine resort will kick off a 15th stage during which you'll need to have plenty of breath. The Col de la Forclaz-Montmin is on the programme. So allow yourself a break at its belvedere for a bird's-eye view of Lake Annecy before setting off again for Saint-Gervais, at the foot of Mont-Blanc. If you want to reach the highest peak in the Alps, this village resort, with its well-preserved heritage and traditions, is the ideal place to stop. And its thermal baths, renowned for the many benefits of their waters, set the well-being at the summit in a magnificent green setting.

Courchevel, star of the Alps

The regulars call it Courch' and they come and go summer and winter as connoisseurs, just like the Tour de France caravan which is visiting the Savoyard resort for the 4th time. Welcome to the pinnacle of top-of-the-range skiing in the Alps, at the heart of the Three Valleys ski area. Courchevel tops the list not only for the size of its ski area (Méribel and Val Thorens are its famous neighbours) but also for its range of hotels (no fewer than 5 mountain palaces , from the Apogée to the Cheval Blanc, not forgetting the K2 Palace, Airelles and the Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges) and restaurants. So, with its 6 hamlets and the surrounding area, the resort has a lot to offer. Take a selfie at the top of La Saulire, take a stroll down to Lac de la Rosière, cycle down the Bike Park, spend the night in the Lacs Merlet refuge or hike through the heart of the Vallée des Avals... You're going to love it!

Full steam ahead in the Vosges

Between the Lorraine plateau and the Alsace plain, the Vosges massif lives up to its reputation: a perfect blend of nature, wide open spaces, traditions and local produce, crafts and fine cheeses. Between the Grand Ballon d'Alsace and the Petit Ballon, via the famous Col de la Schlucht, the Tour de France 2023 will be taking a break from the normality of the mountains, with a new finish on the slopes of the Markstein, in the welcoming family resort of Marlstein Fellering. In the heart of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park , you can enjoy bucolic hikes, tobogganing in the mountain pastures, paragliding with a view, and mountain biking (or mountain bikes) in a landscape of absolute serenity. And for those with a sweet tooth, July is the peak of blueberry season (and the season for tarts in the farm inns).

And (finally) Paris.... and the Olympics!

Will the riders be in Olympic form for the triumphant finish on the Champs-Elysées on 23 July 2023? Just one year ahead of the 2024 Olympics in Paris , the route will certainly provide a magnificent prologue to the sporting event. Starting in Saint-Quentin en Yvelines, all the future Olympic venues in the Yvelines département will be on the peloton's final route. A gigantic loop will join the Colline d'Elancourt (where the mountain bike events will take place), the Golf National in Guyancourt and the Château de Versailles , which will host the equestrian events and part of the modern pentathlon competitions. A prestigious line-up of finishers for a Tour de France 2023 that's sure to be at the top of its game!
