ARRIVAL OF THE TOUR DE FRANCE 2024 IN NICE

A FINAL TIME IN NICE!

After 110 editions celebrated at the Parc des Princes, the Cipale velodrome in the Bois de Vincennes or on the Avenue des Champs-Elysées, the Tour de France will end for the first time away from Paris in 2024, with a^21st stage that will be judged in Nice on July 21.
For this exceptional final on the shores of the Mediterranean, it is a time trial that will decide between the contenders for the title, thirty-five years after the coup de force of Greg LeMond stripping Laurent Fignon of the Yellow Jersey with an advantage of eight seconds, while the stage of the day before will be traced on the roads conducive to the suspense of the hinterland of Nice.

Those who pay close attention to the details of the history of the Tour de France will point out that the winner of the first edition in 1903, Maurice Garin, although celebrated at the Parc des Princes, inaugurated the winners of the event by crossing the final finish line drawn in Ville d'Avray. The public was again gathered at the velodrome to celebrate the heroes of the Grande Boucle in 1904 and 1905, the race itself having also ended a few kilometers from the capital. However, the arrival of the Tour 2024 scheduled in Nice represents a great first, the peloton of the Tour having never finished its route far from Paris. The riders will feel whatever happens in familiar territory in the city of Angels, which was already on the Tour program in 1906, hosted the Grand Départ in 1981 and 2020, and receives the world elite at the conclusion of Paris-Nice since 1933. This geographical novelty, conditioned by the logistical imperatives that will already block the Champs-Elysées a few days before the opening of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, is accompanied by a major sporting challenge since the last stage will be judged at the end of an individual time trial. The athletic qualities of the protagonists likely to win suggest that the Tour could remain undecided until the last kilometers, as was the case in 1989, the last time the event proposed a time at the end of the debates. That day, by surpassing Laurent Fignon by 58", American Greg LeMond took the lead for 8" at the top of the general classification and won his second Tour by the tightest margin in history.

It is said that records are made to be broken... And the scenario of a battle with seconds takes the lead in view of the final weekend taken as a whole. The riders will already be present on the roads of the region from Saturday, July 20. Each of them is already aware that the reliefs of the hinterland of Nice lend themselves to unbridled cavalcades at high intensity, almost systematically on the final stage of the race to the Sun. So there could be opportunities to shake the Yellow Jersey until the end.
