For most cyclists and fans alike, Tour de France is the highlight of the year and the biggest cycling event in the world. In 2020, the Tour will be the first of the Grand Tours with Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España following later in the year.
We’ve put together an interactive stage guide for the Tour de France 2019 which not only gives you all the information you’d expect but also includes an analysis of each stage’s importance to the riders challenging for the yellow jersey. We’ve done this by breaking down the performance of the last 10 yellow jersey winners on each type of stage and at each point in the Tour de France, which we’ve used to rank each of this year’s stages based on their importance.
With stage one set to take place on Saturday, we’ve picked out our Tour de France 2019 predictions for the leading betting markets on this iconic contest. The 106th edition of cycling’s blue riband event will depart in Brussels and finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris on July 28.
