Tour de France 2021 Route stage 20: Libourne - Saint-Émilion

Saturday 17 July - The 20th stage of the Tour de France sees the second and final time trial of the race. The route is 31 kilometres long and takes place in the rolling vineyards near Bordeaux.

Saint-Émilion hosted the Tour de France once before. In 1996, the medieval wine town was used as finish in a 63.5 kilometer ITT from Bordeaux. Jan Ullrich took the spoils, but it was not enough to win the GC the next day in Paris. The German finished second behind Bjarne Ris, while Richard Virenque rounded out that year's podium.

The vineyard setting of the race from Libourne to Saint-Émilion also reminds of the 2010 Tour de France. The Bordeaux-Pauillac ITT of that year was won by Fabian Cancellara.
