Updated 1/10/19 – Tour de France 2020 route rumours are now circulating ahead of the official ASO launch on Tuesday 15th October, so we have compiled the latest news & we’ll keep it regularly updated.
Early rumours are that next year the parcours won’t be heading for such high altitudes as in 2019, which was a special edition for the 100th anniversary of the yellow jersey. The sense really is that the Tour de France route for 2020 has particularly been designed with a French winner in mind, given it will be 35 years since Frenchman Bernard Hinault won that prestigious jersey.

The Tour de France 2018 will feature 3 stages in the Alps, all of which are accessible from the Bike Weekender home base, but stage 10 in particular will pass right by our door, which we are really excited about.
All 3 stages feature some real thrills and challenges – including the Col de la Colombière, Plateau des Glières, Col de Romme, Cormet de Roseland, Col de la Croix de Fer, Col de la Madeleine, the infamous Lacets de Montvernier and a very welcome return to the beast that Alpe d’Huez.

Updated 9th October – Tour de France 2018 route rumours are already starting to circulate, so we have compiled the latest news & keep it regularly updated.
The fact that this year’s parcours seems to have been designed to upset the apple cart (otherwise known as the Sky train and 3x Tour winner Chris Froome), and perhaps play more in the hands of French hope, Romain Bardet and other punchier riders, folks will be eagerly awaiting to see what event organiser Amaury Sports Organisation (ASO) will do next.

The Tour de France route for 2017 is quite different from recent years – it features shorter, punchier climbs and less summit finishes.
It has also excluded many of the more iconic climbs we associate with the Tour, such as Mont Ventoux, Alpe d’Huez and the Col du Tourmalet.
We started to discuss which climbs we would include if we were to design our own Tour de France route. They didn’t have to be ones we had personally ridden, just whatever our dream Tour de France parcours would look like.
So we decided to compile our own Fantasy Tour de France Route, with our top 9 cols.
Here are some of our team’s dream routes below – what would your’s be?
