Tour de France dates that you don’t want to miss

The last 9 stages of the 2023 Tour de France are destined to be decisive for all of the different classifications. None more so than for the overall win where the two main favourites Vingegaard, winner of last year’s Tour, and Pogacar (winner of the Tour in 2020 and 2021, are breathing in each other’s neck every day. Here are the main stages where we think the battle for the yellow jersey will be decided.

Stages 13-15 of the Tour de France schedule promise to be epic

Stage 13 (July 14th) Brief: This is the first of three brutal stages in the Alps that could decide the race for the yellow jersey. The flat start to the stage reaches its culmination with two climbs and an epic climax at the top of Grant Colombier. The summit finish of the stage comes after a 17,4 km, 7.1% gradient, climb. The entertainment is guaranteed!

Stage 14 (July 15th) Brief: This stage is all about the climbers! With 5 climbs stuffed in just 150km, the battle promises to be thrilling. The last of the 5 climbs is the hardest – 11.6 km (8.5%) to Col de Joux. The finish is at the bottom of the climb with the riders set to be tested right at the end by a hairy downhill. Who will be the bravest?

Stage 15 (July 16th) Brief: After 2 gruelling days in the Alps this third consecutive demanding mountainous stage is destined to be crucial. With everyone feeling led in their legs big gains, or losses, can be expected on the 3rd consecutive day of steep climbing. This long stage has 5 climbs, 3 of which are Category 1. There are some very sharp descents too, so the riders need to be alert and focused throughout. The final climb towards Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc should provide us with some epic moments. Can any of the 2 main favourites decide this race on that day?

Could an individual time trial decide the winner?

Stage 16 (July 18th) Brief: Right after the 2nd rest day of the Tour comes the important individual time trial. If the gaps are small come the time trial it is very likely that it decides the winner. The time trial is short (22km) and relatively flat so a track rider that can pace himself could gain a significant amount of time. Will we see a change in the leadership on that day?

Stages 20 of the Tour de France schedule the last chance for attacks

Stage 20 (July 22nd) Brief: The penultimate stage will be the last competitive one. It is also the last chance for one final attack to try and steal the yellow jersey. The short stage (133km) has 5 climbs. The last 2 of those Category 1 and after 20 days of riding if there is still a battle to be had on that day it could be the most dramatic stage of the entire Tour. Whoever wears yellow at the start of that day has a simple, just hold on to the back wheel of your nearest rival at all costs. Trust us, this is not that easy!
