Tour de France 2021: Route and stages

Tour de France 2021
Edition 108 of the Tour de France starts on Friday 2 July in Copenhagen, Denmark,to finish on Sunday the 25th in Paris. The first three stages are played out in Denmark before the race continues in France on Tuesday the 6th of July.

The 2021 Tour de France kicks into gear with a flat individual time trial in Kopenhagen. Although featuring some sharp turns, the course suits specialist who can push a big gear.

At 199 kilometres, the 2nd stage is a coastal ride between Rosskilde and Nyborg. The first half of the race takes in three short climbs in quick succession – Côte d’Asnæs Indelukke, Côte d’Høve Stræde and Côte de Karup Strandbakke -, while the Storebælbro with 16 kilometres out is not entirely flat either. Still, a bunch sprint is next to certain.

Same goes for stage 3. The 182 kilometres route travels from Vejle to Sønderborg. Slightly more undulating, but the highest point of the day says it all. Côte de Genner Strand peaks out at 57 metres – so yes, this one should be for fast finishers also.
