The route of the Tour de France 2020. ASO

It will not leave until June 27, 2020 from Nice, but we already know the contours of the next Tour de France cyclist. It was presented on October 15, 2019 in Paris. On the program, 21 stages almost all concentrated in the southern part of the country, and again a course rather favorable to the best climbers.

You knew Paris -Nice, the traditional race of return of the great champions of road cycling. Here is Nice - Paris. Between the Promenade des Anglais and the Champs-Elysées, the starting and finishing points of this Tour de France 2020, there will be 21 stages, 3470 kilometers of course, as well as surprises promises the race direction.

The first is a southern route, quite rare in the history of the "Great Loop". The second is the slope that rears on the 2nd day: Col de Colmiane, Col de Turini, Col d'Eze ... A trilogy Nice for climbers awake. A strong appetizer, to digest well.

Because, then, there will be percentages everywhere, all the time, with eight mountain stages, three hilly stages and the five great massifs of Hexagon visited, or rather revisited ... Forget Tourmalet / Alpe d'Huez / Galibier. Store your classics and prepare for example to discover the Col de la Loze, on the heights of Métribel.

It is the roof of this Tour de France with 2304 meters of altitude, 21 kilometers of climbing and passages to 20%. The arrival of the 17th stage will be judged at its summit. Three days later, the day before the arrival in Paris, will be the only time trial of this "Great Loop". A particular time of 36 kilometers, until the very difficult Planche des Belles Daughters.

In short, this 2020 Tour is designed for climbers. Beware of traps, gusts, for example expected on a funny 10th stage, between Ile d'Oleron and Ile de Re. A curiosity among others.
