Tour de france 2023 results.

Stage 21: Jonas Vingegaard crowned Tour de France champion in Paris / As it happened

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) won the Tour de France for the second  year in a row after finishing safely in the main field with his Jumbo-Visma teammates. Jordi Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe) sprinted to victory on the Champs-Elysées, beating green jersey Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) by less than a tyre width to take his first stage victory of the Tour de France.

Vingegaard topped the general classification with a 7:29 ahead of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and 10:56 on Pogačar’s teammate Yates.

Stage 20: Tour de France: Pogacar rebounds to take stage 20 victory as Vingegaard seals his second overall title / As it happened

Rebounding after a disastrous stage 17 on Col de la Loze, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) won the final mountain stage of the 2023 Tour de France. Crossing the line in third, with the same time, was Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) who is set to claim the overall victory for a second year, with just Sunday’s final parade stage to Paris left to race. Felix Gall (AG2R-Citroën) was second on the stage. Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), who delivered one final attack on his home roads to the delight of the huge crowds massing the roads, was caught on the final climb.

There were no changes in the top 3 on the general classification, Vingegaard, Pogačar and Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) are set to be on the final podium. Fourth on the stage, Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) moved up to fourth overall.

Stage 19: Tour de France: Mohoric outsprints Asgreen in drag race to stage 19 finish / As it happened

There was no rest and little recovery on a wickedly fast stage 19 of the Tour, where the winning breakaway took 100 kilometres to go clear. Three riders attacked from the 36-rider move, with Matej Mohorič giving Bahrain Victorious their third stage win after Pello Bilbao on stage 10 and Wout Poels on stage 15. The GC contenders all came in together almost 14 minutes behind.

Stage 18: Tour de France: Kasper Asgreen seizes stage 18 victory from all-day breakaway / As it happened

Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-QuickStep) won the closing sprint on stage 18 of the Tour de France to hold off his breakaway companions and a surging peloton. After 185 kilometres at the front of the race with Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny) and Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-QuickStep) and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X), it came down to the final 200 metres to secure the win for Asgreen, leaving Pascal Eenkhoorn (Lotto Dstny), who had bridged across 58km earlier, in second and Abrahamsen third. 

There were no changes in the general classification on the largely-flat stage between Moûtiers to Bourg-en-Bresse, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) remaining in yellow.

Stage 17:   Tour de France: Vingegaard dashes Pogacar's GC hopes on stage 17 across Col de la Loze / As it happened

Felix Gall (AG2R Citroën) attacked from a reduced front group with under 13km to go and held on for a solo victory across the Col de la Loze on stage 17 of the Tour de France. Race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) stamped his authority on the queen stage by dropping his main rival Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) on the final climb. Pogačar finished the stage 7:37 down – 5:45 behind Vingegaard – leaving him still in second place overall but a massive 7:35 back of the Dane.

Stage 16: Tour de France: Vingegaard removes all doubt, crushes Pogacar in stage 16 time trial / As it happened

After two weeks of racing for seconds, Jonas Vingegaard finally carved out a significant gap over second-placed Tadej Pogačar in the stage 16 time trial in Combloux. Vingegaard won the stage by 1 minute 38 seconds over his rival to extend his lead in the GC to 1:48.

Stage 15: Tour de France: Wout Poels blasts to blockbuster stage 15 solo victory / As it happened

The stalemate between Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) continued on the third mountainous day in a row at the Tour de France. The duo marked each other’s attacks on the final climb to Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc and ultimately crossed the finish line together. Attacking from the break, Wout Poels (Bahrain Victorious) won stage 15 after an 11km solo ride to to claim his first Tour de France stage win.

Stage 14: Tour de France: Carlos Rodríguez strikes for win on stage 14 as Vingegaard gains valuable second on Joux Plane / As it happened

Rivals Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) continued their intense battle on the final climb on stage 14 of the Tour de France with the yellow jersey Vingegaard gaining one second in an evenly matched duel. Both riders used their respective teams to dispatch all the other riders before fighting it out on the Col de la Joux Plane. Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers) took advantage of the situation to fly down the descent to take the win in Morzine, and move up to third overall.

Stage 13: Tour de France: Kwiatkowski wins stage 13 on Grand Colombier as Pogacar closes in on yellow / As it happened

The Tour de France overall standings remained neck-and-neck between leader Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar on stage 13, the second hors-categorie summit finish of the race. Michał Kwiatkowski (Ineos) won the stage from the breakaway, while UAE Team Emirates burned up the team to set up Pogačar. Vingegaard was on guard and fended his rival off until the final metres, losing eight seconds total but keeping the maillot jaune.

Stage 12:   Tour de France: Ion Izagirre secures solo victory on frantic stage 12 / As it happened

Ion Izagirre (Cofidis) won stage 12 of the Tour de France with a solo attack 30km from the line in Belleville-en-Beaujolais. His long-range breakaway rewarded the Basque rider with his second career Tour win, the last one coming in 2016. Mathieu Burgaudeau (TotalEnergies) outsprinted Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) 58 seconds back to complete the podium. 

The hectic first half of the hilly 168.8km stage saw lots of attack, including Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) who was rewarded as the most combative rider. There were no changes between the top GC leaders, with Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) still in yellow and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) in second and in the best young rider jersey.

Stage 11: Tour de France: Jasper Philipsen flies to fourth sprint victory on stage 11 / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) showed more blistering speed, proving himself the best sprinter of the Tour de France on stage 11 to Moulins even without any lead-out from Mathieu van der Poel.

It was a squeaky clean sprint from the Belgian who has endured a flood of hate-mail about his previous sprints.

Daniel Oss (TotalEnergies) was the day's sole breakaway rider and caught with 13km to go. The GC standings remained the same as all of the contenders finished in the peloton.

Stage 10: Tour de France: Pello Bilbao scorches sprint from breakaway to win stage 10 / As it happened

Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) out-sprinted Georg Zimmerman (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) and Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën) to win stage 10 of the Tour de France on a sizzlingly-hot day. The Spaniard was part of the day's breakaway that brought six riders into Issoire, where he claimed the first stage victory of his career.

The breakaway gained 2:53 on the group containing race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), rival Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) third-placed Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) to keep the top four in the GC standings the same.

Stage 9: Tour de France: Michael Woods triumphs with stage 9 victory atop Puy de Dôme / As it happened

The Tour de France reached the mythical ascent of the Puy de Dôme at the finish of stage 9 where Michael Woods (Israel Premier Tech) triumphed with the day's victory after being part of a large breakaway that gained upwards of 15 minutes on the main GC contenders during the stage.

On the upper slopes of the ascent, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) then surged with 1.5km to go, to put valuable seconds into Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). Vingegaard now leads Pogačar by 17 seconds in the battle for the yellow.

Stage 8: Tour de France: Mads Pedersen beats Jasper Philipsen to win crash-marred stage 8 / As it happened

Stage 8 was a highly anticipated day for the puncheurs, even so, Mark Cavendish had his sights set on a 35th career stage win at the Tour de France, but it wasn't meant to be as the Manxman crashed with 60km to go and forced to abandon the event.

In a chaotic finish to the hilly run-in to Limoges, which saw a late-race crash take down Simon Yates (Jayco AlUla), Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) stormed to the victory in a close sprint ahead of Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma). Jonas Vingegaard finished safely in the field and carries the yellow jersey into stage 9 with a finish at Puy de Dôme.

Stage 7: Tour de France: Philipsen denies Cavendish, completes hat-trick in Bordeaux / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) blasted across the line in Bordeaux to win stage 7 of the Tour de France, winning by one bike length over Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan). Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) finished third in the sprint.

For Philipsen, it was his third victory of the three sprint stages in the first week of the 2023 race. He bolted down the main avenue and passed Cavendish in the closing 50 metres, holding the Manxman's attempt at a record 35th Tour stage win  at bay.

Stage 6: Tour de France: Tadej Pogacar claws back time with victory at Cauterets / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) won stage 6 with a massive attack across the final 2.7km and stormed back into the general classification mix. He distanced Jonas Vingegaard at the line at Cauterets by 24 seconds, while the Jumbo-Visma rider took the overall lead and yellow jersey away from Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe), who was 2:39 back in sixth place. 

Vingegaard now has a 25-second advantage over rival Pogačar, while Hindley held the third spot in the overall, 1:34 back, after the massive 144.9km climbing day in the Pyrenees. 

Stage 5: Tour de France: Jai Hindley wins stage 5 as Vingegaard drops Pogacar in Pyrenees / As it happened

The first of the Pyrenean stages at the Tour de France had the potential to shake up the general classification, and it did just that as Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) went on a day-long attack, won stage 5 into Laruns and took the yellow leader's jersey in the process.

Hindley moved into the overall race lead by 47 seconds ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and 1:03 on Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek), as Tadej Pogaçar (UAE Emirates) slipped to 6th now at 1:40 back.

Stage 4: Tour de France: Jasper Philipsen wins two in a row in crash-marred stage 4 / As it happened

There was no doubt who won stage 4 at the Tour de France, with Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) securing his second-consecutive sprint stage win in Nogaro. A day for the sprinters ended in carnage, however, as several riders crashed along the motor speedway circuit that hosted the finish.

There were no changes to the overall classification as Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) finished in the field at the end of the 181.8km stage and will wear the yellow leader's jersey into stage 5.

Stage 3 - Tour de France: Jasper Philipsen wins stage 3 after impressive lead-out from Mathieu van der Poel / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen  (Alpecin-Deceuninck) rocketed across the line in a bunch sprint in Bayonne to win stage 3 of the 2023 Tour de France. A half a wheel behind, Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) claimed second and Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Dstny) third.

All the general classification contenders, including Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) in the yellow jersey, finished safely in the field with no time changes after 193.5km from the hills of Spanish Basque territory to the roads of France.

Stage 2 - Tour de France: Victor Lafay gives Cofidis their first win since 2008 on stage 2 / As it happened

Victor Lafay (Cofidis) put in a stunning attack to claim stage 2 in San Sébastian. The Frenchman clipped off the front of a select group that formed after the Jaizkibel and stole the show from Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), who won the sprint for second.

Tadej Pogačar added to his tally with a time bonus for third and also won the five bonus seconds atop the Jaizkibel ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). His teammate Adam Yates held the lead by six seconds.

Stage 1 - Tour de France stage 1: Adam Yates wins ahead of twin brother Simon in Bilbao / As it happened

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) won stage 1 of the Tour de France in Bilbao, outsprinting his brother Simon Yates (Jayco-Alula)  after the duo escaped together after the final climb of the Pike. Adam Yates leads the general classification by 8 seconds over his brother, and 18 seconds over his teammate Tadej Pogačar who finished third on the stage.

Enric Mas (Movistar) abandoned the stage after crashing with Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) with 23km to go. Carapaz ultimately crossed the line, over 15 minutes from Adam Yates. Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) along with other contenders Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) and Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) are 22 seconds down overall.

Tour de France 2023 schedule

Tour de france history.

Jonas Vingegaard is the reigning champion, having won his first Tour de France in 2022. The Danish rider denied Tadej Pogačar a trio of consecutive victories, the Slovenian having snatched the 2020 title before dominating the 2021 race. 

Pogačar himself broke a Ineos/Sky stranglehold on the race, with the British team having won seven of the previous eight Tours de France with Egan Bernal, Geraint Thomas, Bradley Wiggins and four-time winner Chris Froome . Vincenzo Nibali, then riding for Astana, was the other man to break the British squad's dominance with a win in 2014.

The Tour wins record is currently held by four men, with Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil and Miguel Indurain all on five titles.

Peter Sagan getting once dominated the green jersey for the points classification but has been usurped in the past three years, with Wout van Aert establishing himself as the dominant man of all terrains in 2022. Sagan still holds the all-time green jersey record with seven wins in nine participations. Erik Zabel's six jerseys lie second, ahead of Sean Kelly's four.

In addition to his yellow jersey, Vingegaard won the polka-dot jersey for the mountains classification in 2022, as Pogačar did the previous two years.  Richard Virenque holds the record for polka dot jersey wins at seven, and it won't be beaten anytime soon as Pogačar and Rafał Majka are the only current riders to have won more than one king of the mountains title, with two.

Pogačar has won the white jersey for best young rider three years in a row and, at 24, is still eligible for a fourth crack in 2023.

Jasper Philipsen speaks: He’s naturally delighted with himself but isn’t asked to talk about what happened in the jury room as the interview is conducted by the official Tour TV feed. “I can be really happy with our team performance today, they gave me a great leadout,” he says. “I’m really happy to keep it to the finish line. I tried to take the shortest route to the finish and fortunately I was first over the line.”

Jasper Philipsen is confirmed the winner of stage three!

It’s no disaster for Jasper as he leaves the jury trailer with a big grin on his face that confirms he has won his third Tour de France stage.

Philipsen is summoned to the jury room: Looking grim, he makes his way before the race beaks. On Eurosport, Robbie McEwan says that doesn’t bode well for his chances of keeping the stage.

No word from Jasper Philipsen yet: The stage winner hasn’t been interviewed by Tour TV yet, which suggests he could yet lose it in the stewards’ room. He’s waiting alongside his girlfriend in the hut, watching a replay of the finish on a screen with Tadej Pogacar. He’s looking quite apprehensive.

It’s a little difficult to describe exactly what did for Van Aert in the end – in my completely unbiased opinion, it was a kink in the layout of the barriers that meant he simply couldn’t follow his racing line as long as Philipsen didn’t deviate from his, because he simply ran out of road. If anyone is to blame for Van Aert’s defeat, it’s the race organisers, specifically whoever erected the barriers in such a way that they created a kind of funnel in the closing stages.

Wout van Aert: You can probably expect more angry bidon-flinging from the Belgian, who will see today’s stage as another opportunity lost. He was practically alongside Philipsen with 20 or so metres to go, but the manner in which the barriers were laid out meant that Philipsen only had to keep his racing line to ensure the door was shut on Van Aert, who was forced to sit up. We may have a stewards enquiry, whether or not Jumbo Visma complain, although I don’t think Philipsen did anything wrong. “I would be both surprised and completely dismayed [if Philipsen loses this],” says Robbie McEwan in the Eurosport studio.

Stage three: Jasper Philipsen wins!

After holding off a challenge from Wout van Aeert, who came up his inside but was forced to back off when it became apparent he might end up in the barriers, Philipsen beats Bauhaus and Ewan. He wins by a wheel. Hats off to Mathieu van der Poel, who finished a perfect Alpecin-Deceuninck lead-out by leaving Philipsen in a perfect position to win the stage. Mark Cavendish finished sixth.

Jasper Philipsen wins the stage!!!

Alpecin–Deceuninck give their Belgian rider the perfect lead-out and he wins stage three of this year’s Tour by half a wheel from Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain-Victorious) and Caleb Ewan.

2km to go: The riders negotiate the hairpin before taking a tricky left-hander. Mark Cavendish is still in the mix on the right-hand side of the road behind several team-mates, with Philipsen and Ewan also well placed.

4km to go: The riders negotiate a gentle left-handed turn with another roundabout to negotiate. Uno X-Pro, the team of Alexander Kristoff, are lined up on the right side of ther road.

6km to go: Wout van Aert, Caleb Ewan, Mark Cavendish and Jasper Philipsen are all in good positions but there’s a long way to go.

7km to go: All the big-hitters look well placed with several roundabouts to come. Jasper Philipsen, one of the favourites for today’s stage, gets squeezed after finding himself on the wrong side of the road on his way into one of them and loses several places. Mark Cavendish is on Philipsen’s wheel.

11km to go: The riders of Jumbo Visma are hogging the right-hand side of the wide road, where six different teams can be spotted lined up near the front of the bunch.

14km to go: It’s not looking good for Team Lotto Dstny, as Caleb Ewan’s leadout man Jasper De Buyst is at the back of the bunch struggling, clearly suffering the after effects of a crash yesterday.

16km to go: On assorted team radios, assorted team directors are giving assorted riders the same instruction: “Get to the front and make a bubble”, to help surround and protect their sprinters. There isn’t room up there for all of them, hence the “washing machine” effect.

20km to go: That downhill negotiated, the speed is more sedate 36km per hour. Mark Cavendish is up there among the first 30 riders, surrounded by Astana teammates.

21km to go: Inside the final five kilometres of this stage, the riders will have to tackle three roundabouts, a nightmarish hairpin bend and a bridge before they hit the finish line. They’re currently travelling at 70km per hour. .

25km to go: The bunch continues on its way to Bayonne with the end-of-stage “washing machine” winding up towards it’s spin cycle as riders try to get to the front, get pushed backwards by other riders trying to get to the front etc, and so on.

36km to go: At the end of a largely uneventful day, we’re getting towards the business end of the stage. The bunch is compact, speeding along with the benefit of a tailwind and the teams of assorted sprinting heavyweights trying to hold position at the front. Towards the end of the stage, at the two-kilometre mark, they’ll have to negotiate a hairpin bend that could ruin the chances of many competitors.

38km to go: Laurent Pichon is nothing if not stubborn and continues to give it his all, jaw set in a grimace and knees pumping furiously. He’s about to be swallowed up by the bunch follwing a fine solo effort. Chapeau Lauent! Somewhere in heaven your little piglets are looking down with pride … and possibly a little resentment.

An email: “A pedant writes,” says Dan Levy. “The Tour isn’t leaving the Basque Country today. Part of the Basque country is in France and part in Spain. You will still see signs written in Basque on the way into the Basque city of Bayonne. And I expect the camera will pick out pelota courts on French side of the border too.”

45km to go: The gap is into 38 seconds and Laurent Pichon’s lead is not long for this world. After a long but ultimately doomed day in the spotlight, one suspects he’ll consider it an act of mercy when he is inevitably reeled in by the bunch.

52km to go: Laurent Pichon’s lead is whittled down to a little over one minute as he continues to plough his lone furrow. If he doesn’t win today’s combativity prize and the place on the podium that goes with it, it will be a complete travesty of justice. The official rules say the prize rewards “the rider who gives the biggest effort and shows the best sportsmanship”. It is awarded by a jury chaired by the race director and an online poll. The fact that he is a Frenchman won’t do Laurent’s chances any harm.

❤️ Best team radio ever 🎙 🇫🇷 @lauPichon - @Arkea_Samsic va tout donner ! #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/v5imUyXr5P — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 3, 2023

61km to go: Another dispatch from the team Arkea Samsic race radio and this one is specifically for Laurent Pichon. We don’t know who it is but it’s a woman’s voice and I suspect it might be from his wife.

“I’m so proud of you, you’re a warrior,” she says. “You give us so much great emotion! Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy! I love you very much!” Pichon is abojut to leave the Basque country and if he achieves nothing else today, Pichon gets the honour of leading this year’s race into France.

64km to go: Having been left to his own devices by Neilson Powless, Laurent Pichon continues his lonely solo effort with the gap at 2min 11sec. On the subject of yesterday’s sabotage, French Intermarché–Circus–Wanty rider Lilian Calmejane posted this footage of the damage inflicted upon one of his tyres by roadside vandals.

His tweet reads: ““Thank you for this kind of human bullshit. I don’t think I was the only victim of a puncture in the end … know that you can fall and get really hurt with your bullshit you morons.”

Merci pour ce genre de connerie humaine … je pense ne pas avoir été le seul victime de crevaison dans le final … sachez qu’on peut tomber et se faire très mal avec vos conneries bande d’abrutis … 🤬 pic.twitter.com/IoTMolFKgO — Lilian Calmejane (@L_Calmejane) July 2, 2023

74km to go: Neilson Powless is swallowed up by the peloton as Astana rider Alexey Lutsenko punctures and stops to get a replacement back wheel. With a couple of spectators peering on out of curiosity, he points out the offending tack which seems to have been thrown on the road in scenes reminiscent of yesterday, when up to 30 riders punctured after somebody scattered tacks on the road. Apparently some of the locals are unhappy with the road closures prompted by the Tour.

79km to go: Neils Powless and Laurent Pichon continue to motor along, milking the applause of the crowds as they pedal through the streets of San Sebastian. Powless is having the time of his life, waving to the crowd and blowing them kisses.

He decides he’s had enough of being out in front in the breakaway, bumps fists with his French companion, then sits up and waits for his team car to pull alongside him. One of its occupants hands him a musette which he slings over his shoulder before stuffing his pockets with its contents. Laurent Pinchon is now out in front on his own with almost 80 kilometres to go and a lead of 2min 11sec.

🔴⚪️ @NPowless 🇺🇸 gets all mountain points of today' stage! 🗻 Neilson Powless remporte tous les points de la montagne du jour ! #TDF2023 | @maillotapois pic.twitter.com/D2FWu1HpQh — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 3, 2023

90km to go: The road is narrow and the climb steep as Neilson Powless moves ahead of Laurent Pichon to take another KOM point, the final one up for grabs today. This time he punches the air repeatedly for the benefit of the cheering crowds and gets a pat on the back from Pichon. Let’s see what happens, now that Powless has nothing left to ride for today. There are still 90 kilometres to go but the Eurosport commentary team have exhausted so many avenues of conversation that they are now completely bogged down in a long and very boring debate about the merits of various cycling shoes.

93km to go: With the leaders well on their way up the final climb, Wout van Aert drops out of the bunch to have running repairs done on one of his cleats. He remounts, pedals back on his way, takes a drink from his bidon and chucks in the direction of a few kids standing on the side of the road with nowhere near the force he angrily hurled one of its predecessors to the floor upon being beaten in yesterday’s stage finish.

96km to go: There is one categorised climb remaining in today’s stage, the Category 3 Côte d’Orioko Benta. Neilson Powless is almost certain to take the two points on offer again and it will be interesting to see what he does once he’s crossed the line. The gap from he and his fellow escapee Laurent Pichon back to the peloton is two minutes and neither of the two leaders has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the stage. Do they soldier on together in an exercise in total futility? Does Powless leave Pichon to his own devices and sit up to conserve energy for the challenges ahead? Or do both riders allow the peloton to catch them?

An email: “The death of Scarponi was a sickener,” writes Francis Barbuti. “He was run over by a friend of his father’s and left two very small children. Life can be very cruel sometimes. He was also one of the good guys of the peloton and a good rider.”

PREVIEW | Tour de France 2023 stage 3 - Philipsen, Jakobsen and Groenewegen headline first royal sprint battle

Preview . The opening weekend of the Tour de France has seen quite a lot of spectacle, but the race finally calms down. Stage 3 will be the first day where the sprinters can fight for the win, as the race enters France.

Stage 3 of the Tour de France will be the first for the pure sprinters, although it won't be a completely flat run-in into France and the coastal city of Bayonne. The start isn't the same however, starting in the Basque Country the riders face a 4.2 kilometers climb at 5.7% in the opening kilometers. The first half of the day features quite a few ascents, 4 categorized, making for a tricky day if some teams think of spinning a high gear there.

Estimated start and finish times for Tour de France stage 3: 13:00-17:30CET

Victory for Victor Lafay on another thrilling day of racing at the Tour de France

However it's unlikely that there will be teams spending bullets there purely for fatigue, as there won't be an alliance of many teams going all out for the last 102 kilometers. From there on it's a bit easier for the fast men, the final hilltop then comes with 20 kilometers to go, 3.3 kilometers at 4%. There is a slight chance the pace may be pushed there, but most likely the gradients aren't hard enough to drop anyone.

The riders then ride quickly into Bayonne for the first finale on French territory. It will be a tense finale with a roundabout coming with 2.4 kilometers and a long 180-defree corner just before 2Km to go, and then a sharp rise with a 200-meter ramp, followed by a small descent and slight corner into the final kilometer. There are a few moments to recover position still, the finale will be flat but with a slight left corner with 200 meters to go will make for a specific fight for position on the left side.

The Weather

The wind will blow from the north and it will not be gentle! If it's strong enough to create splits it isn't likely, but there are decent chances that it can happen, tension will certainly be high. The opening two thirds of the stage will have some hills to cover, but from 40 to 25 kilometers to go it will be exposed and splits can happen. It then calms down, if the wind is felt it'll be a crosswind in the final sprint.

Route Analysis | Profiles & Route Tour de France 2023

The Favourites

Jasper Philipsen - There is no real man to beat in this sprint, as will be the case in most sprints in this Tour. However if you could name anyone it'd be Philipsen because his positioning skills are fantastic and he's virtually got no weak points. Furthermore, the Belgian may have Mathieu van der Poel assisting in the leadout, which would provide a bit more firepower - although I think it'll be key not to over rely on the teammates, this will be extremely chaotic!

Fabio Jakobsen - Winner of two sprints in Belgium, he definitely has the form. Now he has a tougher task in positioning - but in reality all riders will. A very strong leadout packed with rouleurs, if he can follow Michael Morkov - which hasn't happened much this year - he can take this win for sure.

Dylan Groenewegen - The climbing in the stage won't favour him, as is the case with other pure sprinters, however I think he should be alright. It'll be tricky, he has Luka Mezgec as a great final leadout man but it'll be hard for him to get through the final kilometers I recon.

Sam Welsford - Obviously the reason why I'm having him here as a topic for discussion is because he won today's intermediate sprint in the peloton. Welsford has the speed, I think DSM is honestly not prepared for the kind of sprints that will take place here, but if he can follow the wheels well then he definitely has the speed to win a stage this year.

Jumbo - Visma - The question is on which, or if at all, any of the Jumbo-Visma sprinters will go for it. Wout van Aert will not go for green, he says, but he did say that his best chances lay in the sprints. Of course, those were days like today and not stage 3 where he will just be another rider in the extensive list of fast men. Christophe Laporte also said he won't go for green, both riders will likely look to help Jonas Vingegaard with positioning but Jumbo-Visma have enough rouleurs to do both tasks honestly.

Tour de France 2023 Medical Report | Stage 2: Lotto Dstny see van Gils and de Buyst injured following stage 2

It's only the first sprint of many, the list will include tons of world-class fast men. Mads Pedersen is a prime candidate for green and will want to take all the points he can. You've got veteran sprinters who don't stand many chances but will naturally try to take a strong result such as Alexander Kristoff and Peter Sagan . You've got Caleb Ewan who struggles with positioning, but if he nails it he should have the speed to win. Add Biniam Girmay and Phil Bauhaus who have World Tour wins in sprints this year, and Jordi Meeus who has a very strong leadout and will be keen to test it out in such a grand race.

Adding to all those, of course, you have Mark Cavendish who has here, on a regular Tour de France day, a chance to make history as the highest winning rider in the race's history. The day will lack the climbs to make a real selection in the race, some of those who prefer those days will nevertheless try their luck out here still such as Bryan Coquard , Corbin Strong and Alex Aranburu . Perhaps Magnus Cort Nielsen would also be one to consider.

After three stages on the western side of the Pyrenees, the rest of the Tour will take place in France. It will visit 6 regions and 23 departments.

The battle for the Yellow Jersey will witness a decisive and emotional episode on the Puy de Dôme, where a stage finish will be held 35 years after the victory of Denmark’s Johnny Weltz. The return to this legendary climb will be accompanied by the rise in importance of sites that will mark the Tours of the future, such as the Grand Colombier or the Col de la Loze.

The sole time-trial on the Tour de France in 2023 will take place over 22 kilometres between Passy and the Combloux ski resort in Haute-Savoie. The sprinters will also have the opportunity to express themselves on finishes in Bordeaux, Limoges, Moulins, before the grand finale on the Champs-Elysées.

Race organisers, Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) have extended an invite to all 18 UCI WorldTeams, as well as four UCI ProTeams, to make up the 22-team peloton.

WHAT IS THERE TO WIN?

The rules are the Bible of a sporting competition. Their balance and rigour are intended to ensure equal opportunities, motivate riders and help spectators and viewers alike to understand the event. Here is an outline of the main points.

Prize money: A total of 2,3 million euros will be awarded to the teams and riders including € 500,000 to the final winner of the overall individual classification.

THE STAKES A wide range of objectives coexist in the peloton, depending on each rider's disposition, strong points and assigned tasks. The most team-oriented of individual sports gives the majority of them a role in multi-layered strategies. The distinctive jerseys and other honours up for grabs during the 3 weeks of racing are listed below.

• Stage victories The 21 stages of the 2023 Tour can be broken down as follows: 8 flat stages, 4 hilly stages, 8 mountain stages with 4 summit finishes (Cauterets-Cambasque, Puy de Dôme, Grand Colombier and Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc), 1 individual time trial.

Stage victories are sponsored by Continental.

• The Yellow Jersey This jersey is worn by the leader of the general time classification. The yellow jersey is sponsored by LCL.

• The Green Jersey This jersey is worn by the leader of the general points classification. Points are awarded at the intermediate sprint in each mass-start stage and the finish of each stage. The green jersey is sponsored by Škoda.

• The Red Polka Dot Jersey This jersey is worn by the best climber in the general classification. Mountain points are awarded at the top of every categorised climb. The points for a summit finish are doubled. The red polka-dot jersey is sponsored by E.Leclerc.

• The White Jersey This jersey is worn by the best young rider (age 25 or under in the current year) in the general classification. The white jersey is sponsored by Krys.

• The Combativity Award This distinction is awarded at the end of each stage by a jury made up of cycling specialists. An overall winner is designated after the last stage of Le Tour. The winner wears red-coloured race numbers in the next stage. The combativity award is sponsored by Century 21.

• The team classification This classification is calculated by adding the times of each team's three best riders on each stage. Riders in the team leading the classification wear yellow helmets and race numbers. The team classification is sponsored by Les Hauts-de-Seine.

• Seconds up for grabs Time bonuses are awarded at the end of every mass-start stage (i.e. no time bonuses on offer in individual and team time trials). The first three riders get 10, 6 and 4 seconds, respectively.

• Mandatory helmet use All cyclists are required to wear helmets throughout the duration of each stage.

• Falls in the last three kilometres As has been the case since 2005, riders involved in a fall in the last three kilometres of a stage are given the same finishing time as the group they were riding in. Time trial stages and summit finishes are not covered by this rule.

Tour de France FAQs

Q: Why is the Tour overall leader's jersey yellow?

A: In 1919, Tour organisers decided the race leader should wear a special jersey making him easy to identify by spectators. They picked yellow as it was the colour of the paper on which L'Auto, the sports daily sponsoring the race, was printed.

Q: What is the green jersey?

A: It is the jersey awarded for the points classification and a great consolation prize for sprinters as they usually win more stages, albeit by a slimmer margin.

Points are awarded to the top 20 finishers in each stage; the rider finishing with the most points wins the jersey. The record green jersey winner is German Erik Zabel, who won it six times.

It was introduced 60 years ago to spice up the race.

Q: What is the polka dot jersey?

A: It is the jersey awarded to the best climber of the Tour or 'King of the Mountains'. Points are awarded at the top of each hill or mountain, which are rated from fourth to first category depending on their difficulty. Some exceptionally tough climbs, such as l'Alpe d'Huez or Mont Ventoux, are rated "hors categorie" (out of category).

The polka dot design was chosen as it was the same as one of the jersey's sponsors. The record winner of the King of the Mountains jersey is Frenchman Richard Virenque, who earned it seven times.

Q: Why do riders often finish in the same time?

A: Because only seconds are taken into account in the overall standings and not fractions of seconds. It is the convention in road cycling that all the riders included in the same group are given the same time on the finish line regardless of whether they are at the front or the back.

Another rule, applying only to flat stages, states that a rider who crashes in the last three kilometres will be awarded the same time as the group he was in before crashing.

Q: Cycling is an individual sport so why are there teams?

A: The Tour is raced by 20 teams of nine riders. Each team usually includes a leader - the man with the best chance for the final classification - sprinters, climbers and every type of rider who can help the team to win a stage, take a jersey and bring home prize money.

When some 200 competitors are cycling in a bunch at around 50 kph, the riders at the front waste much more energy than the ones immediately behind, who are sheltered from the headwind.

This is why team mates are often seen riding ahead of their leader - they are protecting him from the wind.

Team mates often act for their leaders in other ways, passing on one of their wheels if he punctures or picking up bottles and bags at the feeding zone.

Q: What is a "bordure"?

A: Also called an echelon, it is one of the nightmares of the peloton. When the wind is strong and blowing sideways, it can split the riders into little groups which are no longer sheltered inside the main bunch. They lose contact, find themselves on the most exposed side of the road and can lose considerable time. It happened to Alberto Contador in 2010 in a stage finish in La Grande Motte.

Q: What is the "omnibus?"

A: Also called the "gruppetto" (Italian for small group), it is the group formed by poor climbers in the mountain stages to help each other make it to the finish line at a reasonable pace, but inside the time limits.

Q: How do riders pee?

A: Spending some five hours on the bike, riders sometimes have to urinate during a stage. If the race is raging at full speed, riders do so on their bikes but most of the time they stop early in the stage when the pace is leisurely.

It is an unwritten rule of the peloton that you do not attack when a rider or a group has stopped to urinate.

Q: What is a domestique?

A: A domestique, or "gregario" is a rider who is not allowed any personal ambition on the race. He is picked for his ability to set the pace, suffer to the limit and drop out when his task is done. He is also expected to slide to the back of the bunch to fetch bottles, give his bike to his leader if necessary. Some riders, like Alberto Contador, have long-time, dedicated domestiques (or gregari).

Q: Where can I watch this year’s Tour de France?

A: SuperSport will bring you all the action from France, daily and LIVE on TV or to stream via DSTV . Check the TV Guide for details.

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!

Plus de 7 mois après l'exode des 120 000 Arméniens du Haut-Karabakh qui a suivi l'offensive azerbaïdjanaise de septembre 2023, Bakou tente désormais de redessiner la frontière arméno-azerbaïdjanaise à son avantage. Le philosophe et historien Michel Marian était l'invité d'"Au cœur de l'info". Il revient sur le traumatisme de la perte du Haut-Karabakh pour les Arméniens, sur l'action du Premier ministre arménien, et le jeu des grandes puissances dans la région.

Tour de France 2023 : Jonas Vingegaard remporte son deuxième Tour d’affilée, le Belge Jordi Meeus vainqueur sur les Champs-Elysées

Le coureur de l’équipe Jumbo-Visma s’impose au classement général de la 110e édition de la Grande Boucle devant le Slovène Tadej Pogacar.

Vingegaard officiellement vainqueur, Jordi Meeus s’offre les Champs-Elysées

• Encore un Belge ! On aurait dû s’en douter. Déjà nation la plus titrée sur les Champs-Elysées (12 victoires désormais), nos voisins du plat pays avaient sûrement dû regarder, sourire en coin, les débats houleux qui ont opposé la Jumbo-Visma à la FDJ concernant de grandes rasades de houblon. Mais sur le Tour, c’est Jordi Meeus qui a fait sa loi. Le coureur belge de la formation Bora-Hansgrohe a déboulé dans la roue de Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-Alula) pour coiffer sur la ligne son compatriote Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Fenix). Photo-finish à l’appui, Jordi Meeus prive le maillot vert - pourtant encore superbement lancé par son poisson-pilote Mathieu Van der Poel - d’une cinquième victoire. A 25 ans, il décroche sa première victoire sur le Tour pour sa première participation.
• Avant le sprint final, l’étape avait été animée par des attaques sporadiques sur les pavés des Champs-Elysées, jamais réellement abouties. On a notamment vu Victor Campenaerts, le maillot blanc Tadej Pogacar ou encore Frederik Frison se faire la belle sur quelques longueurs - façon épopée publicitaire. Le peloton a majoritairement roulé à allure (très) modérée, s’offrant un peu de répit… et quelques coupes de champagne.
• Peu inquiété au classement général, et ce depuis plusieurs étapes, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) a amené sans encombres son maillot jaune jusqu’aux Champs-Élysées, tout en laissant filer la dernière étape du Tour. Après sa victorieuse bataille, menée en 2022 face à Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates), le Danois de 26 ans rejoint son meilleur ennemi sur les tablettes et réalise le doublé en remportant l’édition 2023 de la Grande Boucle. A la différence près que l’écart entre les deux coureurs n’a jamais semblé aussi large, le Scandinave ayant relégué le porteur du maillot blanc à 7 minutes et 29 secondes. Même configuration au classement par équipes, où la formation néerlandaise s’adjuge la première place du podium, suivie par l’équipe UAE Emirates. Un affrontement, qui pourrait se prolonger jusqu’au Tour d’Espagne, qui débutera le 26 août. Jonas Vingegaard prendra le départ, peut-être une nouvelle fois, face à Tadej Pogacar.
• Quant aux coureurs et aux formations tricolores, la fin du Tour peut leur laisser un léger goût amer, leurs différents objectifs n’ayant pas été remplis. Au général, le leader de la Groupama-FDJ David Gaudu est le Français le mieux classé, et s’octroie une 9ᵉ place, qu’il a analysée avec lucidité à l’arrivée de la dernière étape : « On a tout donné depuis le départ de Bilbao, on a toujours été dans le jeu. Ça reste un Top 10 sur le Tour ». Le Breton est suivi de près par Guillaume Martin (Cofidis), 10ᵉ, et son coéquipier Thibaut Pinot, 11ᵉ, qui courait pour la dernière fois de sa carrière un Tour de France. Un baroud d’honneur marquant, avec en point d’orgue son passage lors de l’avant-dernière étape, seul en tête et acclamé par ses supporters, dans le virage vosgien portant désormais son nom. Et quand il lui est demandé sur France Télévisions s’il peut revenir sur sa décision, et ne pas mettre fin à sa carrière cette saison, Thibaut Pinot tranche net : « Je sais que le public aimerait bien, mais ma décision est prise ». Une manière de boucler une très Grande Boucle.

La boucle est bouclée, merci, et au revoir !

Cette fois-ci c’est la fin, la vraie, du Tour de France 2023. Bouleversé par le duel Pogacar-Vingegaard, dynamité par un contre-la-montre historique, et magnifié par le jubilé d’un Thibaut Pinot déjà regretté sur ses routes, le Tour fait ses adieux… jusqu’à l’année prochaine, dont le final ne se déroulera pas à Paris, mais à Nice. Un changement, qui pourrait en appeler un autre ?

Qui de Jonas Vingegaard, Tadej Pogacar, (Guillaume Martin ?) ou un coureur inédit pour amener le maillot jaune au bout de la Grande Boucle 2024 ? Le suspens demeure. Nous vous donnons rendez-vous dans un an, mais d’ici-là, vous pouvez rester à nos côtés, à commencer pour l’épopée des Bleues à la Coupe du monde 2023 de football féminin. Le programme, juste ici  :

Deux français dans le top 10.

David Gaudu a terminé 9e du général à 23 minutes 4 secondes de Jonas Vingegaard.

Guillaume Martin est lui 10e, à 26 minutes 30 secondes du vainqueur.

Le podium du général :

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) s’impose à 7 minutes 29 secondes de Tadej Pogacar et à 10 minutes 56 secondes d’Adam Yates.

#ALMP et #CQTP : les résultats

C’était le dernier «  A la minute près » . Le jeu ? Trouver l’heure exacte de l’arrivée. Nous n’avons pas de vainqueur aujourd’hui : des 19 h 37, 19 h 35 mais pas de 19 h 36 (quatre minutes après l’horaire indicatif de l’organisation).

Pas de vainqueur non plus sur le « C’est quoi ton prono » malgré un sacré nombre de coureurs nommés. D2cidément Jordi Meus nous a tous pris par surprise aujourd’hui !

On vous félicite quand même toutes et tous pour votre participation nourrie ses vingt derniers jours. Bravo à vous ! Et vive la lose !

#ALMP :19h38

ALMP: 19h35, vous dites? Allons-y gaiment!

Thibaut Pinot, au micro de France TV :

« C’est toujours spécial sur les Champs-Élysées ! Je suis content de ce que j’ai fait sur le Tour. C’est une page qui se termine et une autre qui s’ouvre. »

Et quand on lui demande de rester sur le circuit, de revenir une dernière fois sur le Tour, le coureur de la Groupama-FDJ tranche net :

« Je sais que le public aimerait bien, mais ma décision est prise. »

TiboPino, merci pour tout !

Tut tut pour pino et pogi svp

Pour revivre l’arrivée au sprint :

Et le premier Français ?

David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) se classe à la 9e position du classement général, suivi par Guillaume Martin (10e, Cofidis) et Thibaut Pinot (11e, Groupama-FDJ).

Le Top 5 de l’étape

1. Jordi Meeus 2. Jasper Philipsen 3. Dylan Groenewegen 4. Mads Pedersen 5. Cees Bol

Jordi Meeus vainqueur sur les Champs-Elysées !

Cela s’est joué à la photo-finish mais c’est finalement le cycliste belge de la formation BORA-Hansgrohe qui s’est imposé au sprint.

Du monde sur la ligne

Quatre coureurs se tiennent dans un mouchoir de poche : Jordi Meeus, Philipsen, Groenewegen et Pedersen.

Philipsen était pourtant bien lancé par Van der Poel mais s’est fait enfermer au moment de lancer son sprint. Ca va se jouer entre Meeus et Philipsen...

Photo-finish !

Le programme.

Live animé par Valentin Baudry et Louise Le Borgne

Bienvenue dans ce dernier direct consacré à la 21ᵉ et dernière étape du Tour de France 2023, 110ᵉ édition de la Grande Boucle.

Quoi ? Pour la dernière étape du Tour de France, le peloton aura un dernier effort à fournir sur un tracé long de 115,1 kilomètres, entre Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (Yvelines) et les Champs-Elysées, à Paris. Les équipes des sprinteurs se mettront en ordre de bataille pour tenter de s’offrir un succès de prestige. Comme souvent, cette 21 e  étape n’aura aucune influence sur le classement général : 7 min 29 s séparent le maillot jaune, Jonas Vingegaard, de son dauphin, Tadej Pogacar.

Où ? Cap sur les Champs-Elysées. Au départ de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, le peloton va sillonner l’ouest de Paris. Un clin d’œil aux Jeux de Paris 2024, dont les épreuves cyclistes se tiendront en grande partie dans le département des Yvelines.

Quand ? Le départ réel sera donné à 16 h 45, et les coureurs sont attendus sur la ligne d’arrivée à 19 h 30 s’ils roulent à une vitesse moyenne de 39 kilomètres-heure.

Sur quelles chaînes ? France 2, France 3 et Eurosport 1.

Qui anime le live ? Louise Le Borgne et Valentin Baudry, dans le bus de l’équipe à Austerlitz, avec Vincent Daheron et Aude Lasjaunias, qui préparent leur dernier sprint sur les routes du Tour.

Des descendants de soldats du «commando Kieffer» vent debout contre le «Normandy Memory», un spectacle sur le débarquement «commercial et ridicule»

• Lire dans l’app
• Copier le lien Lien copié

Dans une tribune publiée dans Le Monde le 28 avril, une trentaine de descendants des 177 soldats français ayant participé au D-Day critiquent un projet de spectacle soutenu par les élus locaux qu’ils jugent «sensationnaliste».

Ces descendants de résistants ne mâchent pas leurs mots pour exprimer leur indignation. Dans une tribune publiée dimanche 28 avril sur le site du Monde , une trentaine de fils et petit-fils des combattants du «commando Kieffer» ont exprimé leur «ferme opposition» à un projet de spectacle immersif porté par les élus locaux, appelé «Normandy Memory» , qu’ils jugent «commercial et ridicule» .

À l’occasion des cérémonies du 80e anniversaire du Débarquement , les élus locaux ont prévu un spectacle de la bataille de Normandie par une trentaine de tableaux dynamiques et sonores joués par des figurants. Les spectateurs, quelque 1000 par représentation, seront embarqués sur une scène mobile située sur l'ancien site de la Société métallurgique de Normandie à Colombelles.

Les auteurs de la tribune, enfants et petits-enfants des 177 soldats français engagés sous les ordres du commandant Kieffer - qui furent les premiers et seuls Français à fouler les plages de Normandie pour libérer la ville de Ouistreham - voient en ce «show prétendument mémoriel» un objectif «purement économique» aux contours «sensationnalistes» , ne respectant pas l’esprit de l’événement.

Pudeur, sobriété et humilité

Des décors aux multiples scènes se succédant les unes après les autres, «tout annonce une machine à faire du business mémoriel pour tour-opérateurs» , estiment ces descendants de résistants, parmi lesquels une fille et petite-fille du commandant lui-même, Philippe Kieffer. Ils regrettent «"l'effet waouh"» vanté par les promoteurs du projet, le président de la région Normandie, le président de la communauté urbaine de Caen-la-Mer et le maire de Colombelles. Une telle mise en scène «ne pourra qu'être simpliste et mettra inévitablement l'accent sur les sensations et le spectaculaire, plus que sur l'histoire et la réflexion» , craignent les signataires.

Alors que le dernier survivant du «commando Kieffer» , Léon Gautier,  est décédé le 3 juillet 2023 à l'âge de 100 ans, les auteurs de la tribune, parmi lesquels figurent sa fille, ses petits et arrière-petit-fils, affirment que leurs aïeux ont «toujours fait prévaloir la pudeur, la sobriété et l'humilité» dans le récit de leur action. «Nous le savons, le Débarquement se vend bien» , terminent-ils, partageant leur crainte que la disparition des derniers témoins de cette page d’Histoire ne génère une rupture dans sa mémoire, «qui laisse libre cours à tous les appétits» . Et d’appeler à «un sursaut de dignité» par l'abandon «définitif» du projet.
