Yes there is a tours which can be considered different It was he who was introduced this Thursday in Paris. Maybe it’s disproportionate: more mountains and the collector less time trial mileage. At least in contemporary times, all the mountain ranges of the so-called French Hexagon had not been climbed so many times, and an incredibly challenging stage was never planned for the sixth day of the competition. Let’s analyze the route in its most important aspects.
Historic departure from the Basque Country
The Gran Via of the Biscayan capital will host the first arrival of the 2023 Tour on July 1. second time test part Basque CountryIt was won, of course, by Miguel Induráin, from San Sebastian in 1992, after making it in a historic and memorable time trial. The three Basque capitals will be the protagonists of the race as the second stage will begin to reach Donostia from Vitoria. And be careful because it won’t be a day for sprinters because before finishing next to La Concha beach, runners will face all the harshness of Jaizkibel, perhaps Gipuzkoa’s most biked mountain.
Five mountain ranges and 30 harbors
this The Pyrenees have already reached the sixth stage. Between No less than Marie Blanque and Aspin and Tourmalet the next day, the race may already be very defined when a week of competition has not yet been completed. Never before have Pyrenean ‘monuments’ been selected so quickly. The risk is that many favorites will be knocked out at the first change, though the mountainous hardness will by no means end there. At least in contemporary times, the Tour has never crossed 30 ports between the second, first and special category. With a total of six days and 13 peaks, the race has never been so long in the Alps.
Time trial of only 22 kilometers
Given the routes for the most tours in a week, it’s easy to imagine that they would have no trouble beating the Tour in kilometers against the clock. The big bike event held every year is just 22 kilometers by a method called time trial that seems doomed. It’s disproportionate when you consider the brutality of the time it will take racers to climb mountains. And as if that weren’t enough, the ‘chrono’ appearing in the race scenario is more like a time trial in the Alps, with a climb up the Cota de Domancy, one of the cyclists’ hiccups. Bernard Hinault blew up the World Cycling Championship in 1980. There were only 13 kilometers of individual time trials in 2015, with a 22-man team scheduled instead.
meeting with history
El Periódico from the Prensa Ibérica group has already advanced, while Puy de Dôme, the pearl of France’s volcano Massif Central, is returning to the race between jobs and ecological and bureaucratic issues after 35 years of absence. He does this in tribute to Raymond Poulidor, in memory of the ever-present Eddy Merckx legend and Jacques Anquetil, in an edition that will also honor Luis Ocaña and Laurent Fignon. As an anecdote, the final stage will start from the French National Velodrome and it will be interesting to see how a peloton of at least 140 riders (given the usual average number of dropouts) overcomes the crossing of an oval track.
2.3 million rewards
Next Round will give 2.3 million euro prize Provided the Danish cyclist does not intend to win the race for the second year in a row, that will correspond to 500,000 cyclists, corresponding to the cyclist arriving in Paris in yellow to replace Jonas Vingegaard. The number of bonuses to be rewarded deserves special consideration: in each stage, except the time trial, there will be 10, 6 and 4 extra seconds for the first three, but, as recently, it will also reward the mountain pass. passes with 8 , 5 and 2 seconds for first passers.
Numbers and absences
It’s still too early to determine the participants of the next France round, but the duel between Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar is almost guaranteed if both return to form. The Spanish options will once again go through the figure of Enric Mas, who took second place in the Vuelta and rose after the sensational end of the campaign. It remains to be seen whether 2019 winner Egan Bernal survives his big crash in February and in principle the final decision made by world champion and Vuelta winner Remco Evenepoel. Tour for the benefit of the Giro. The next Tour de France could mean that Granada-born cyclist and Spanish champion Carlos Rodriguez makes his debut. The other Spanish pearl, Juan Ayuso, should leave for Vuelta as his team will be working hard with UAE, Pogacar.
