About This Source - Tour de France
The Tour de France is an annual men’s multiple stage bicycle race primarily held in France, while also occasionally passing through nearby countries. Like the other Grand Tours (the Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta a España), it consists of 21 day-long stages over the course of 23 days. It has been described as “the world’s most prestigious and most difficult bicycle race.”
Recent from Tour de France:
Tour de France published this video item, entitled “Tour de France 2023 : Rendez-vous au Pays Basque !” – below is their description.
Bilbao, the most populous city in the Basque Country, will host the start of the 110th Tour de France on Saturday 1 July 2023.
The peloton of the Grande Boucle already converged in Spain for the 1992 Grand Départ, which was also held in the Basque Country, specifically in San Sebastián. In addition to the Pyrenean stages that pass through the country now and then, nine Spanish towns and cities have hosted a Tour stage start or finish. Bilbao will join the club in 2023 as the show gets on the road with a loop stage. The second stage will also take place entirely within the borders of the Basque Country.
Le départ de la 110e édition du Tour de France sera donné de Bilbao, la ville la plus peuplée du Pays Basque, le samedi 1er juillet 2023.
Auparavant, le peloton de la Grande Boucle s’était déjà réuni en Espagne en 1992 pour un Grand Départ à Saint-Sébastien, également au Pays Basque. Hormis les visites lors d’étapes pyrénéennes programmées en France, neuf villes espagnoles ont accueilli des départs ou arrivées d’étapes du Tour. Bilbao deviendra la dixième en 2023, pour une étape en boucle le premier jour, tandis que la deuxième étape sera aussi tracée à 100 % dans le Pays Basque.
