Route and stages
editItaly hosted the Grand Départ for the first time.[3][4] 2024 is the 100th anniversary of the first Italian victory in the Tour, won by Ottavio Bottecchia in 1924.[3] The route also visited the microstate of San Marino, making it the 14th country to be visited by a Tour stage.[3] The race will not finish in Paris, owing to preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which start on 26 July. Instead, the tour will finish in Nice with an individual time trial—the last time a time trial was the final stage in the Tour was in 1989.[5][6]
In October 2023, Christian Prudhomme announced the full route.[7] The route was described as "tough" by riders, with particular concern for the gravel tracks on stage 9 and limited opportunities for sprinters.[8]
