Tour de France coverage from Cycling Weekly, with up to date race results, rider profiles and news and reports.

Jonas Vingegaard is likely to attempt a third win at the Tour de France 2024

The Tour de France 2024 begins on Saturday 29 June 2024 and marks the 111th edition of cycling's flagship race. In the first Grand Départ for Italy, the race starts in Florence and traces a path east across the country, before heading back west towards France and into the Alps. 

The race also tackles the Apennines, Massif Central and Pyrenees mountain ranges, and passes through Italy, San Marino, Monaco and France. This edition breaks from tradition, finishing not in Paris but in Nice, due to the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

The three-week event is the second in the trio of Grand Tours, coming after the Giro d'Italia and before the Vuelta a España .

Tour de France 2024: Overview

Tour de france 2024: the route.

One for the climbers, the 2024 Tour de France route incorporates four summit finishes, spans four mountain ranges, and features the hilliest opening stage in history. One of the most interesting and intriguing routes of recent years, sitting between the predominantly hilly week one and week three sits a flatter week two, and stage nine - with an abundance of white roads; 14 sectors in total. There's plenty for the sprinters as well as the general classification and climbing specialists, although there are going to be some tough mountains to get over to reach the sprint stages, and to finish the three weeks. For the first time in 35 years, a final day time trial means the yellow jersey won't be decided on the penultimate day.

Tour de France 2024 route: Stage-by-stage

Tour de france 2024: the teams.

There will be 22 teams of eight riders at the 2024 Tour de France. This includes all 18 UCI WorldTour teams, as well as the two best-ranked UCI ProTeams, and two further squads invited by the organiser, ASO. 

Tour de France 2024: General classification riders

The general classification riders set to appear on the start line in Florence on June 29 are as of yet unconfirmed.

Reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard is extremely likely to be there to defend his title, and there should be no challenges from within the team since Primož Roglič's move to Bora-Hansgrohe. However, Roglič will be making his own bid for the win as the new team leader, with the route suiting him well. 

Following the route announcement in October, Tadej Pogačar said that the "end of the journey makes me smile", with the final 2 stages starting and finishing close to his home in Monaco. Pogačar is hoping to take back the top step in 2024 after two years of missing out on yellow to Vingegaard.

Remco Evenepol intends to make his Tour de France debut in 2024. Although he took a win in 2022 at the Vuelta, his performance in other Grand Tour races has been either inconsistent or blighted by illness. If he's to compete against the likes of Vingegaard and Pogačar, he'll have to up his game. It's not yet known who Ineos Grenadiers will hand the reins to, but, coming 5th overall and taking a stage win in his Tour debut in 2023 , Carlos Rogríguez seems a likely choice.

Tour de France 2024: Sprinters

It's going to be a tough year for the sprinters. Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck was one of the star men of last year's Tour de France, taking four stage wins and the green sprinter's jersey at the end of the three weeks. If the Belgian returns in 2024 then he will definitely be looking to defend his jersey.

Mads Pederson of Trek-Segafredo has won stages in all three Grand Tours and is likely to gain victory again in some of the harder sprint stages in 2024.

All eyes will be on Mark Cavendish in the 111th Tour de France after he postponed retirement to target the Tour win record, currently shared with Eddy Merckx, and gain his 35th win. He said, however, that he was "in shock" and that this was the "toughest course" he had ever seen , when it was revealed in October. 

Tour de France 2024: On TV

As you'd expect the Tour de France will be avialable to watch in a lot of places this July.

The race is expected to be live-streamed on GCN +, Discovery+ and Eurosport , as well as ITV4, in the UK and in Europe. Subscription costs are £6.99/month or $8.99/month, and £39.99 or $49.99 for a year.

A Flobikes  annual subscription will cost you $209.99 if you want to watch in Canada, while in the USA  NBC Sports  via Peacock Premium ($4.99 per month) will show the race. Australians can can watch the Tour for free on SBS on Demand.

And, of course, if you want to watch your local stream from anywhere in the world you'll need a VPN from a trusted company like ExpressVPN .

Tour de France: The jerseys

Much like every year in recent memory, the Tour de France jerseys and classifications are yellow for the overall leader, green for the leader in the points standings, polka-dot for the mountain classification, and white for the best young rider.

Along with the jersey prizes, there is an award for the most combative rider of each stage, with the winner wearing a red number on the following day. This is awarded each day, with a 'Super Combativity' award decided by a jury at the end of the race for the most active rider throughout the entire event.

There is also a team classification where the time of the first three riders from each team is put together to create a single time. This is then done in a similar way as the individual general classification.

In addition, there are plenty of bonus seconds up for grabs at the race. There are ten, six and four bonus seconds available at the end of each stage for the first three riders, as well as bonus sprints that are dotted throughout the race on key climbs to try and make the racing more entertaining for spectators.

Of course, there's also prize money up for grabs. For winning the 2023 edition of the race, Jonas Vingegaard collected €535,220 (£463,100), a sum which is customarily shared out among the team's riders and staff.

Tour de France FAQ

How does the tour de france work.

The Tour de France is one of a trio of races that are three weeks long, known as the Grand Tours, alongside the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España. The Tour is the best known and arguably the most prestigious.

It is the second of the three races in the calendar with the Giro taking place in May, the Tour usually in July, and the Vuelta in August and September.

The Tour, like all Grand Tours, takes on varying terrain with flat days for sprinters, hilly days for punchers and mountains for the climbers and GC riders, along with time trials, so that a winner of the race has to be able to perform on all types of road.

The main prize in the race, known as the general classification, is based on time with the overall leader wearing the yellow jersey. The race leader and eventual winner is the rider who has the lowest accumulated time over the 21 days of racing. Riders can win the Tour de France without winning a stage, as Chris Froome did in 2017. Time bonuses of 10, six, and four seconds are given to stage winners though, creating incentive for those general classification riders to chase individual victories and lower their overall time.

In 2020 it took race winner Tadej Pogačar 87 hours 20 minutes and 5 seconds to complete the race with the second-place rider overall 59 seconds slower. That continues all the way down to the last place rider, which was Roger Kluge (Lotto-Soudal) who finished 6 hours 7 minutes and 2 seconds behind.

The white best young rider's jersey is worked out in the same way but only riders under the age of 26 are eligible for the jersey.

The polka-dot mountains jersey and the green points jersey are based on a points system and not time. The only reason time would come into account would be if riders are tied on points, then it would go to who is the best placed in the general classification.

The team classification is based on the general classification times of the first three riders of a team on each stage. The time of those three riders is added up and put onto their team's time, creating a GC list much like in the individual classifications. The leading team gets to wear yellow numbers and helmets on each stage.

The final classification available is the combativity prize. This is decided by a race jury or, in more recent years, Twitter. This takes place just before the end of each stage and often goes to a rider from the breakaway who has put in a daring performance or attempted to liven up the stage by attacking. The winner of the combativity award gets to wear a special red race number on the following day's stage.

There is a final prize added to this with the Super Combativity prize being awarded on the podium in Paris. This is decided in a similar fashion to pick out the most aggressive, entertaining, and daring rider of the whole three weeks. Again, usually going to a rider who has featured regularly in the breakaway.

Stage winners do not wear anything special the day after apart from getting a small yellow jersey to stick on their number on their bike, this can be replaced if they win multiple stages.

Teams used to come to the race with nine riders but the UCI, cycling's governing body, decided that nine riders from each team was too dangerous and dropped it to eight, however more teams now take part.

How long is the Tour de France?

The Tour de France takes place over 23 days with 21 of them being race days. The riders get two days of resting; they usually fall on the second and third Monday of the race.

This year's race is 3,492km long, which is 2,170 miles, around the same distance from Washington DC to Las Vegas, or Helsinki to Lisbon. 

Road stages can range from anything around 100km to something approaching 250km, sometimes more. This year the shortest road stage is stage 20, from Nice to Col de la Couillole, with the longest being 229km on stage three in Italy, from Plaisance to Turin.

Road stages often take around four to five hours with the longer days sometimes nudging over seven hours.

Time trials are always much shorter. Team time trials have long since gone out of fashion in the world of road racing so individual time trials are the main focus these days. 

In 2024, the Tour has two individual time trials for the riders to tackle, the first on stage seven at 25km long from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Gevrey-Chambertin, and the second on the final stage from Monaco to Nice, at 34km long.

When does the Tour de France start?

The 2024 Tour de France starts on June 29 in Florence, Italy, with a road stage. There will be three full stages in Italy, before the fourth heads into France. The race finishes in Nice three weeks later.

The 2024 edition of the race runs from 29 June - 21 July, covering 21 stages.

Tour de France 2024 route map

The 2024 Tour de France will be the 11th edition of the great race – and there are  few sure things in life: birth, death, taxes and the Tour de France ending on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. But not in 2024. For the first time, the race will finish in Nice – on the south coast of France – instead of Paris thanks to the 2024 Olympics Games, which start in Paris on July 26. 

The Tour runs from Saturday , June 29 to Sunday, July 21, so it was decided that authorities in Paris would have enough on their hands with the Olympics to handle the logistics of another major spectator event.

But it's not just the finish that will be new for 2024: the start – the Grand Depart – will be held in Italy for the first time. The Tour de France is back on Giro d'Italia territory for the 12th time but it's the first time the race has started this side of the border. 

The full route will be announced later in 2023 and details stage maps are usually then released each May online and  in the official race program (we'll post links to that once it's available) .

We have this page for Tour de France road closure information , which we also update with 2024 information after the 2023 race is done and dusted.

See here for accommodation near the route (again, it will be updated once we know the full 2024 route).

Where to find more useful information: the Official 2024 Tour de France Race Guide is the place to go. We'll include links here when it's available

Stage 2: Sunday, June 30 -  Cesenatico to Bologna, 200km  

Say two starting near the station in Cesenatico – the final resting place of Marco Pantani. It's then on to another tough day of climbing on the road to Bologna .

Stage 2 Tour de France 2024

Stage 3: Monday, July 1 –  Piacenza to Turin, 225km   

Today will be a day for the sprinters  in Turin, the capital of Piedmont – a regular sprint finish on the Giro d'Italia .

Tour de France 2024 stage 9

Stage 17: Wednesday, July 17 – Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux to Superdévoluy , 178km

This will be a  mountainous stage from the coast at Nice inland to Col de la Couillole. This stage doubles as L'Etape du Tour sportive route on July 7.

2024 Tour de France Stage 20 Saturday, July 20 - Nice to Col de la Couillole, 132km

Stage 21: Sunday, July 21 - Monaco to Nice individual time trial, 35km

The  21st and final stage will be contested in a 35km individual time trial from the glitzy streets of Monaco to Place Masséna in Nice. For the first time in a long time, the last stage may not be purely ceremonial. The yellow jersey could be won – or lost – today.

Bike hire for watching the Tour de France

A reminder that if you need bike hire during the Tour de France you should book early. It ALWAYS sells out and it can be very hard to find quality carbon road bikes closer to the time.  More info here .

Visma-Lease a Bike 2024 Season Preview—Can the Superteam Continue to Reign Supreme?

The team is full of super stars— Tour de France Winner Jonas Vingegaard, Vuelta a España winner Sepp Kuss, and the incomparable Wout van Aert. But can Visma-Lease a Bike continue to dominate in 2024?

cycling ned visma

Launched to the finish line with a fabulous lead-out from Belgium’s Wout van Aert, Kooij started his celebration a bit too early perhaps—but the 22-year-old had done enough to secure the first win of the season for himself and his team.

Van Aert added to the team’s early tally five days later, winning Stage 3 of five stages in Volta ao Algarve in Portugal, the only stage race he’ll complete during the first racing phase of his season.

These were victories that will be forgotten after van Aert and the rest of the team’s talented Classics squad head to Belgium for the Classics in mid-February, starting with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, the opening race of the Belgian calendar and the event considered by most pundits and aficionados to mark the “real” start to the season.

So before the rubber meets the cobbles, it’s a good time to take a look at the Dutch super team’s prospects heading into the 2024 season (on the men’s side at least) and the riders expected to create (or play a hand in creating) most of the headlines for the team this year.

But first, a look back at 2023

The 2023 season was a record-breaking one for Jumbo-Visma’s men’s team. The Dutch squad became the first in the sport’s history to win all three grand tours in a single season with Slovenia's Primož Roglič winning his first Giro d’Italia , Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard defending his title at the Tour de France , and American Sepp Kuss taking a surprise victory at the Vuelta a España, with Vingegaard and Roglič joining him on the final podium. It was the first time one team had swept all three podium spots in a single grand tour. It sounds like a dream season—and in many ways it was.

But there were some hiccups as well. First, van Aert failed to win either the Tour of Flanders or Paris-Roubaix—again—continuing a losing streak in the cobbled Monuments that just adds to the already immense amounts of pressure on the Belgian superstar.

Then, the team’s previous title sponsor, Jumbo, announced in the middle of the season it was pulling out of the sport, leaving one of pro cycling’s biggest (and most expensive) teams looking for a new backer.

Making things even more awkward, after the Tour de France there were talks of possible merger with Belgium’s Soudal-Quick Step, a move that would have left several riders and staff looking for new jobs while creating a super-team unlike any the sport has ever seen. Everyone was concerned about what such a merger would have meant for the sport, but luckily it never came to pass after Visma stepped-up to fill Jumbo’s place and Lease a Bike came in to cover Visma’s. (Cycling sponsorship often works a lot like a big game of financial Tetris. )

Then there was the Vuelta, which on paper looked like a resounding success, but almost didn’t turn out that way after Vingegaard and Roglič (seemingly in conflict with each other) couldn’t get their acts together to help Kuss defend his lead in the Spanish grand tour. A few weeks after the race was over, we learned that Roglič was leaving the team for BORA-hansgrohe. A coincidence? We don’t think so.

And the drama continued well into the off-season. In December Richard Plugge, the team’s managing director, dropped a bombshell by announcing that Belgium’s Cian Uijtdebroeks–considered by many to be a future grand tour contender—was joining the team from BORA-hansgrohe. BORA promptly denied the rumors –which Uijtdebroeks’s agent disputed—and after a few more days of negotiations (which drew the ire of some of the sport’s other team managers) and a lot more money (we assume), the transfer was completed.

What about 2024?

Well, the team’s wish list likely goes something like this:

  • Win a third Tour de France (preferably with Vingegaard)
  • Win the Tour of Flanders and/or Paris-Roubaix (preferably with van Aert)
  • Win as much as possible along the way.

Simple, right?

Well, if you’re Visma–Lease a Bike, the answer is a resounding, “Sorta?” Winning races such as the Tour de France and Paris-Roubaix is never easy, but when you’ve assembled a roster like Visma–Lease a Bike has, it’s easy to see why they fancy their chances in just about any race on the calendar.

Who’s the Man of the Hour?

When you’ve won the last two Tours de France—and both times done so by defeating a legendary talent like Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates)—you’re clearly your team’s marquee rider. That’s the case with Vingegaard, who crushed Pog at the beginning of the third week to win his second consecutive Tour and then almost won the Vuelta a Espana (albeit at the expense of Kuss, his teammate).

Heading into 2024, Visma’s taking the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” approach to the 27-year-old’s program, starting with the Gran Camino at the end of February, which he won last year. Then he’ll race Tirreno-Adriatico in March, the Tour of the Basque Country in April, and the Critérium du Dauphiné in early June. In between he’ll spend lots and lots of time at high-altitude training camps.

And the biggest test of Vingegaard’s career will come at this year’s Tour de France, where he’ll face a familiar foe in Pogačar, a new foe (Tour-wise) in Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel (Soudal–Quick Step), and a formerly-unofficial-but-now-official foe in Roglič, who was essentially forced to leave the team to have any chance of winning a Tour de France of his own. If he’s able to win a third Tour against this level of competition, we might have to call the Dane the best pure grand tour rider of his generation.

Is anyone on the Hot Seat?

Let’s be clear: Wout van Aert is not on the hot seat at Visma-Lease a Bike. He’s without a doubt one of the five most talented riders in the sport and just about every single team in the peloton would be doing backflips to sign him away if they had the money and the chance.

But van Aert has failed to deliver in the races he [[EMDASH]] and Visma [[EMDASH]] covet the most: the Tour of Flanders or Paris-Roubaix. It’s not entirely his fault: in 2022 he was in the form of his life but tested positive for COVID-19 a few days before Flanders. He returned in time for Roubaix, but was clearly a bit undertrained. Yet still finished second.

Last year he was again among the top pre [[no hyphen-]] race favorites heading into Flanders, but he banged his knee in an early crash and just didn’t have the legs to follow attacks in the finale. He was better at Roubaix, but flatted while attacking on the Carrefour de l’Arbe with about 17K left to race. He had a decent gap at the time, and we can’t help but wonder if anyone would have caught him had he not punctured.

But while it’s not entirely his fault, great riders find a way to either overcome bad luck or manufacture good luck of their own. And that’s where van Aert seems to come up short [[EMDASH]] especially against guys like the Netherland’s Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Pogačar.

Van der Poel is without a doubt van Aert’s biggest nemesis: the Dutchman already lives in Belgium to avoid paying Dutch income tax and it appears he lives rent-free in van Aert’s head as well. A win for van Aert in either cobbled Monument would flip the script for the Belgian. But until that happens, he will always face immense pressure from the Belgian press, the Belgian fanbase, and himself.

That’s a lot of star power. Does the team have any unsung heroes?

Like van Aert, Tiesj Benoot knows a thing or two about pressure from the Belgian press. The 29-year-old finished fifth at his first Tour of Flanders in 2015 [[EMDASH]] at just 21 years of age [[EMDASH]] and was immediately anointed as the nation’s next Tom Boonen . (Belgians love crushing the careers of young riders by calling them the “next fill-in-the-blank-with-a-Belgian-legend.”)

Aside from winning Strade Bianche in 2018, wins were few and far between for Benoot, who spent a couple lackluster seasons at Team Sunweb/DSM before being wisely scooped up by Jumbo-Visma [[EMDASH]] who turned him into an elite jack-of-all trades, a “domestique deluxe” who can handle himself on the cobbles, in the Ardennes, and in the Tour de France.

Strong and selfless, the Belgian has finally tapped into a steady stream of the talent that peaked through earlier in his career, and he’s happy to use it for the sake of Vingegaard and van Aert.

Who’s the team’s best new rider heading into 2024?

Always on the look-out for the next big thing (cough–Uijtdebroeks—cough), Visma has already found its next Benoot in American Matteo Jorgenson . Like Benoot, the 24-year-old seems at home on all sorts of terrain, having already excelled on the cobbles and at the Tour de France while riding for Movistar the past four seasons.

Big and strong, he’s the perfect type of rider for a team like Visma, and he should slot in right away alongside van Aert in the cobbled Classics and Vingegaard at the Tour.

And we suspect Visma views him as more than just a future super-domestique. Like most riders do after joining the team, he’ll improve drastically with the support of the team’s coaches and physiologists. So there’s no telling where his ceiling really is.

Who’s the team’s biggest departure?

It must have been hard for the team to say goodbye to Roglič —who won three Vueltas, a Giro d’Italia, and scores of other races for the team since joining it in 2016. The Slovenian was largely responsible for ushering in the team’s transformation from being a really good team to being a true super-team and almost won the squad its first Tour de France in 2020. So it’s easy to understand why the team graciously cooperated in facilitating his departure from the team in exchange for another chance to try and win the Tour de France.

But it was also a selfish move, a true case of addition by subtraction. Just ask Kuss , who almost watched his chance to win last year’s Vuelta go up the road while Roglič refused to accept the fact that his chance of winning a fourth Tour of Spain disappeared when the team sent Kuss up the road in a breakaway during the first week.

So while the team will miss the WorldTour points that Roglič earned each season (sorta), they won’t miss having to reconcile the ambitions of two (or more) riders who can justifiably lay claim to the team’s captaincy in grand tours.

Who’s the team’s best up-and-comer or rookie?

Norway’s Johannes Staune-Mittet is one of the hottest young talents in the sport, a rider who’s already won two of the world’s three most prestigious stage races for Under-23 riders—the Ronde de l'Isard and the Giro Next Gen—and finished second in the third—Tour de l’Avenir, which is like a mini-Tour de France for riders under 23-years-old.

There should be no pressure on Staune-Mittet during his first full season with Visma-Lease a Bike’s WorldTour squad (he raced with their development team from 2021 through 2023). But if all goes as planned, he’ll be ready (alongside guys like Uijtdebroeks and possibly Jorgenson) to lead the team himself in the future. In the meantime, we expect him to win a race or three when given the chance—especially in minor stage races that the team has to send a team to while the squad’s heavy hitters are at training camps.

What about Sepp Kuss?

Well, his Vuelta a España win last fall was certainly no fluke, but it does complicate things for the American and his team. We were hoping he’d get a chance to race the Giro d’Italia, where he could have had the team all to himself. But the team clearly wants him at his best for the Tour de France, where he’ll be a valuable lieutenant (and Plan B) alongside Vingegaard.

But while Kuss has refused to downplay his chances of possibly winning another grand tour—as he shouldn’t—we just don’t see it happening. Last year’s victory—while not a fluke—was indeed a surprise. And we doubt that other teams would have let him gain so much time during the Vuelta’s first week had they known he would still be in contention by the third. In other words, it’s one thing to win a race when no one’s expecting you to, it’s another thing entirely to win one when everyone is.

Since getting hooked on pro cycling while watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship in Philadelphia, longtime Bicycling contributor Whit Yost has raced on Belgian cobbles, helped build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux as an assistant director sportif. These days, he lives with his wife and son in Pennsylvania, spending his days serving as an assistant middle school principal and his nights playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Ten of the best cycling holidays for 2024

2024 is set to be one of those cycling mega-years. On top of the usual three professional Grand Tours – in France, Spain, and Italy – and the World Championships in Switzerland, a summer Olympics (also in France) will be thrown in, for an extra sprinkle of fairy dust. 

The Tour of Britain’s future still hangs in the balance, but across Europe and around the world, professional and amateur cyclists are gearing up for another 12 months of hairpin corners and steep ascents. 

If the cycling bug hasn’t already bitten you, then 2024 might be the year it finally latches on. From Wales to the Arctic, we’ve selected ten of the best cycling holidays to whet your ravenous appetite, including serious cycles for the Mamils and Mawils, and gentle pootles for the easy riders, too. 

Cycle the Cotswolds 

New for 2024, this Oxford to Bath guided bike tour starts in the city of dreaming spires and ends with curved rows of honeystone Georgian buildings. 

On the way you’ll take in villages such as Bibury, described by William Morris as the most beautiful in England, and Bampton, where scenes from Downton Abbey were filmed. Famed for its rolling hills and centuries-old pubs, the route also weaves through Bourton-on-the-Water, the Venice of the Cotswolds. 

Exodus Adventure Travels ’ (020 8772 3743) new six-day tour starts at £2,099 per person, including bed and breakfast accommodation and a trip leader throughout. 

Brecon Beacons and beyond 

If you like the idea of carrying all your own gear and travelling under your own steam, then Roam Bikepacking offers something slightly different. It will equip you with a bike, saddlebags, a tent and sleeping bag, allowing you to get fully off road and into the wild.

Its new tour for 2024 will see guests take on Gospel Pass, Wales’s highest road, and Devil’s Staircase – one of Britain’s toughest climbs, reaching a maximum gradient of 20 per cent. They’ll also tell you about the best places to wild camp and swim. 

Roam Bikepacking (07967 870654) can organise this four-day tour for £425 per person (camping) or £550 (B&B).

One for the road in France

2024 is set to be a vintage year for cycling in France. Not only will it host the annual Tour but also the summer Olympics. But while the pros will be powered by sports drinks and protein shakes, how about a leisurely amble around Champagne and Burgundy – two of Europe’s great wine-growing regions.

Highlights of this new tour include a visit to Notre Dame Cathedral in Reims, and a tasting at the Côte des Blancs wine estate. The laid-back route also takes in historic Dijon, the charming capital of Burgundy. 

Exodus Adventure Travels (020 8772 3743) offers a seven-day tour from £4,399 per person, including flights, half-board accommodation, bike hire and a trip leader. Departures on June 23, July 14 and Sept 15 2024. 

Midnight sun in Norway’s Lofoten Islands

This new self-guided cycling holiday explores one of northern Europe’s most spectacular and isolated regions, the Lofoten Archipelago. The route takes in deserted beaches and tiny fishing villages. If you’re really lucky, you might spot a white-tailed eagle.

Head north between the end of May and mid-July and the sun won’t set at all. Your bright nights will be spent in seaside lodges and red fishermen’s cabins. As for fuel: booze certainly won’t be cheap, but there will be plenty of local cheese and stockfish dumplings. 

Headwater (01606 720199) is offering this new self-guided trip between June and August from £3,419 per person, including flights, accommodation, bike hire, and meals.

Discover the rural patchwork of Poland

Poland, you say? It’s not a country that many would associate with a cycling holiday, but then again, few operators share the vision of The Slow Cyclist, renowned for its off-the-beaten-track adventures. 

This new tour kicks off in May and takes in Poland’s Lower Silesia region, bordering Germany and northern Czechia. By day, you’ll pass castles, forests and extinct volcanoes, but at night there’s plenty of time for Polish wine – the country is home to 400 vineyards – and nutritious hearty local food. Silesia is best known for its poppyseed cakes. 

The Slow Cyclist (01865 410356) is offering a new four-night trip from £2,290 per person, based on travelling as a group of 12, including airport transfers, a support vehicle, and English-speaking guides. 

Train like a pro in the French Alps 

Aimed at serious cyclists, this week-long training camp based out of Morzine – host of the Tour de France on more than 20 occasions – is probably as close to riding professionally as you can get. 

This “holiday” includes a private chef, daily massages, and a support vehicle. You’ll also receive a pre-camp training plan and an all-inclusive drinks package for the evenings. But don’t overdo it – the cycling will be tough. You’ll climb over 40,000 feet in a week. One of the climbs, the Col de la Pierre Carrée, is considered among the toughest in the world. 

Sa Calobra Cycling Club (0033 688 699 160) is running this seven-night holiday between June 28 and July 5 2024 and costs from £2,208 per person. 

A long weekend in Italy’s Dolomites 

This is a convenient cycling holiday for people who don’t fancy spending a whole week in the saddle. Rather than moving each night, you’ll be based in a four-star lakeside hotel, in the village of Alleghe. 

Each day ride comes in three options, offering mighty climbs for experienced col baggers, or more relaxed jaunts for the beginners. Epic scenery is, however, guaranteed for all. Day four tackles Marmolada, the highest mountain in the Dolomites. 

Marmot Tours (01373 830409) offers four-night tours for £1,350 per person this July and August. Airport transfers and half-board accommodation are included, so too is wine with dinner. 

Explore Ireland’s south coast 

Cycle from Kerry to Cork on this new self-guided eight-day tour, which explores the green and hilly backroads of Ireland’s glorious south. Highlights include the forests and coasts around Clonakilty, and the Drombeg Stone Circle: 17 standing stones that date back 2,000 years. 

An evening spent in the coastal town of Kinsale gives riders the option to visit James’s Fort, the ruins of a 17th-century fortress. The final day’s riding passes the Royal Cork Yacht Club, purportedly the world’s oldest. 

Saddle Skedaddle (0191 265 1110) will run this new tour between April and October and it costs from £1,445 per person, including bed and breakfast accommodation, luggage transfers and digital route notes.

An e-bike tour of southern Japan

Explore the mountainous splendour of Shikoku, the smallest of Japan’s main islands, on a Yamaha e-bike tour, which covers 240 miles in a week. Following sections of the car-free Shimanami Kaido cycling trail, you’ll hop between the smaller islands of the Seto Inland Sea via five suspension bridges. 

After touring the Shikoku temple pilgrimage route – comprising 88 sacred sites – your evenings will include sake tastings and soaks in onsens (hot springs). Add-on excursions to Hiroshima and Kyoto can be arranged at the start and end of the tour. 

Freedom Treks (01273 977968) offers this holiday in March, April and May. Prices start from £3,757 and include accommodation, meals and a local guide. 

Ride across America 

The Big Daddy of cycling holidays, this 67-night expedition will cross one of the planet’s greatest nations, and takes in the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone National Park and the Great Plains. 

On this 4,000-mile journey between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans you’ll average 67 miles a day, with a rest day every 10. The comfort, company, and security of a group will make it extra special. 2024 is a US Presidential Election year, so expect plenty to talk about. 

Bike Adventures (01273 413489) is running a TransAm tour between July 14 and Sept 18, including a tour leader, support vehicle and accommodation, costing £10,395 per person.

Irish brown soda bread usurps the baguette amid Ireland Week festivities in France

Irishcentral contributor patricia killeen looks at some of the upcoming ireland week 2024 events in paris and across france..

Kevin Dundon, celebrity chef at Dunbrody Country House Hotel, in the Irish Embassy for the press launch of Ireland Week 2024.

For the first time, Tourism Ireland, Bord Bia (The Irish Food Board), and the Centre Culturel Irlandais (CCI) are launching a week-long celebration of Irish culture taking place in Paris and across France from March 11 to 18.

From music and dance to cinema and gastronomy, Ireland Week will showcase the very best of Irish culture around St Patrick’s Day. This idea of a weeklong St. Patrick’s celebration was initiated in Italy and Spain last year and proved a great success.

In Paris and all over France, Ireland Week promises to be epic. The interconnectedness between France and Ireland is stronger than ever, with more airlines and ferry companies operating trips to the four corners of Ireland and competition pushing transport prices down.

France is very important for Ireland as it is the fourth largest market destination for Irish food and drink, as well as the fourth for the Irish tourism market.

I wasn’t surprised to hear the latter statistic as when I go home from Paris, I hear so much French spoken in Dublin and on the West Coast that I sometimes wonder, if like poor Michael Considine in "Spancil Hill," if " Me mind bein' bent on rambling, To Ireland I did fly."

However, the former statistic, that the French are mad for Irish food and drink, including Irish brown soda bread, surprised me more. I didn’t think the French were ready to exchange their baguette for anything, but Irish celebrity chef Kevin Dundon who was in Paris in the lead-up to Ireland Week to meet up with French professionals and introduce them to the classics, along with what’s new in Irish gastronomy, explained the French appreciate the quality of Irish beef, dairy and seafood. 

Dundon receives requests for his Irish brown soda bread recipe from French tourists staying in Dunbrody Country House Hotel, a luxury boutique hotel in Co Wexford that he and his wife Catherine operate and manage and run culinary courses in. The hotel is located on the dramatic Hook Peninsula on Ireland’s south coast. The Hook peninsula is entwined in the etymology of the well-known phrase 'by hook or by crook' which is said to have originated from Oliver Cromwell's vow to take Waterford by Hook (on the Wexford side of Waterford Estuary) or by the village of Crooke, on the Waterford side.

Ireland Week is an invitation to the French to explore the richness of Irish culture, at a strategic time of the year, when people still have time to book their summer holidays.

In Paris and throughout France, a series of events will highlight Irish culture in all its forms: music, dance, literature, cinema, art, and gastronomy. There will be terrific road shows in Nantes and Lyon, but as I live in Paris, I’ll let you in on the events I plan to visit. Most of these events are free, and if you happen to be in Paris, please come and join in the craic!

An Irish Film Festival

The festival will feature four recent films and documentaries, including a screening on March 12 of "Nothing Compares," the acclaimed, multi-award-winning music documentary charting the destiny of Sinéad O'Connor between 1987 and 1993, her meteoric rise, her struggles and revolts, and her legacy. Kathryn Ferguson, the film's director, will be present for the screening at the Les 3 Luxembourg cinema in the sixth district.

"My Sailor My Love," a late-life love story directed by Finnish Klaus Härö will be screened in the same cinema, also on March 12.

Two shorter documentaries, "It’s a Fine Thing to Sing," about a remote singers’ Club on the Inishowen peninsula in North Donegal, and "Around My Island," about a lone sailor taking on the coasts of Ireland, will be shown in the CCI on March 13 and 18, respectively. Bob Gallagher, director of "It’s a Fine Thing to Sing" will be present for the screening, as will sailor Tom Dolan for the screening of "Around My Island."

Immersion in Northern Ireland

Ireland Week is also coming to Beaugrenelle Paris, a famous shopping centre located in the 15 district, from March 11 to March 17, offering an immersive experience, taking young and old on a virtual journey to Northern Ireland.

Visitors will discover the filming locations of the "Game of Thrones" series, as well as the famous landscapes of the Giant's Causeway, and even be introduced to dancing in the streets of Belfast.

Dancers from the Belfast Traditional Music Trail company will also be present and will give several traditional Irish dance performances in the shopping centre.

Colours of Ireland animation tour bus

The Belfast Traditional Music Trail company will journey the streets of Paris in a Colours of Ireland animation tour bus (in partnership with Havas Voyages). The brightly painted bus will stop to give five concerts and dance with people in iconic places such as the Champs-Élysées, Gare Montparnasse, Tuileries Gardens, Quartier Latin, etc. on March 13 - 15.

Irish Gastronomy

Irish Gastronomy will be in the spotlight in more than 1,500 stores and restaurants across France with Bord Bia supplying Irish kits featuring products including Irish soda bread – using Kevin Dundon’s recipe - to encourage the French to get together in families, or with friends, for an authentic St. Patrick’s Day sit down meal.

Sunday, March 17 will be one of the high points of the incredible and eclectic St. Patrick’s Day festival at the Centre Culturel Irlandais (CCI), when French, Irish, and all nationalities will be welcomed to the iconic 18-century building on Rue des Irlandais in the 5 th district to enjoy music, performances, face-painting and fables for all ages with word wizard Niall de Búrca.

Visitors can also check out two exhibitions– a selection of photos from the bestselling series of photos from "Old Ireland in Colour" by John Breslin and  Sarah-Anne Buckley , and an exhibition on Gaelic Games and the important place they hold in Ireland’s psyche.

Ireland Week is a unique event bringing Ireland to France and France back to Ireland . It's an opportunity not to be missed for people wanting to discover Irish music, dance, food, and the vibrant and warm atmosphere of Ireland, or those of us ‘Irish in France’ who want to enjoy St. Patrick's Day craic!

Singapore Has Taylor Swift to Itself This Week, and the Neighbors Are Complaining

The country is defending paying the pop star to play nowhere else in Southeast Asia. Thailand’s prime minister said the price was up to $3 million per show.

Taylor Swift sings onstage wearing a silver costume and knee high boots.

Taylor Swift has descended on Southeast Asia, or one small part of it at least: All of her six sold-out shows are in Singapore, the region’s wealthiest nation.

Many of her fans in this part of the world, which is home to more than 600 million people, are disappointed. But the Singapore leg of Ms. Swift’s wildly popular Eras Tour , which began last weekend and ends on Saturday, is a soft power coup and a boost for the country’s post-pandemic economic recovery.

The shows — and the undisclosed price that Singapore paid to host them — have also generated diplomatic tension with two of its neighbors, Thailand and the Philippines.

Last month, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin of Thailand said publicly that Singapore had paid Ms. Swift up to $3 million per show on the condition that she play nowhere else in Southeast Asia. A lawmaker in the Philippines later said that was not “what good neighbors do.”

Singapore pushed back. First its culture minister said the actual value of the exclusivity deal — which he declined to name — was “ nowhere as high .” The country’s former ambassador at large later called the criticism “ sour grapes .” And on Tuesday, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong told reporters that he did not see the deal as diplomatically “unfriendly.”

But that was no solace to dejected fans.

“I sometimes think ‘When will I get to experience this?’” said Sherin Nya Tamara, 26, a Swift fan in Jakarta, Indonesia, who has liked the singer since 2011 but has never seen her perform live. “I was hoping there would be additional dates and that Jakarta would be included, but nope.”

At a time when Southeast Asian governments are dealing with tensions over the South China Sea and the fallout from a brutal war in Myanmar, among other serious issues, the controversy over Ms. Swift’s Singapore shows is “kind of refreshing,” said Susan Harris Rimmer, a law professor who has studied soft power in the region.

“It’s nice to see them arguing about something this fun, I guess, instead of really, deeply difficult things,” added Professor Harris Rimmer, who teaches at Griffith University in Australia. “But it does show there is tension and jealousy and rivalry.”

Ms. Swift’s concerts in Singapore, which follow her stops in Japan and Australia , would have been a big deal anyway. But they took on geopolitical overtones last month, when Mr. Srettha said at a business forum that Singapore had paid the artist as much as $3 million per show in order to guarantee that they would be her only tour stops in Southeast Asia.

Mr. Srettha said that he had learned the details of Singapore’s grant to the artist from the concert promoter, AEG Presents. Representatives for the promoter and for Ms. Swift did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Tuesday.

An exclusivity deal around a concert, a kind of noncompete agreement known as a “radius clause,” is standard practice in the music industry, said Susan Abramovitch, the head of the entertainment and sports law division at the international law firm Gowling WLG.

“That being said, this territorial exclusivity is more typically measured in hundreds of miles from a city rather than covering entire neighboring countries,” she said, adding that the scope of the Singapore deal was a kind of “Taylor-esque magnification” of the industry standard.

It hasn’t been received well outside Singapore.

Late last month, a lawmaker in the Philippines generated headlines by saying that he had asked the country’s Department of Foreign Affairs to discuss the exclusivity clause with the Singaporean government, saying that it had come at the expense of neighboring countries.

The lawmaker, Rep. Joey Salceda, said this week that he had raised the issue after realizing how difficult and expensive it would be for Filipinos, including members of his own staff, to attend the concerts.

“ASEAN’s core principles are solidarity and consensus,” he said in an interview, referring to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. “What happened? They even used their tourism board to block other nations.”

Asked on Tuesday how much the grant was worth, the Singaporean government did not directly address the question. But the Tourism Board and the Culture Ministry said in a joint statement that Ms. Swift’s concerts, for which more than 300,000 tickets had been sold, would likely “generate significant benefits” for the domestic economy.

Prime Minister Lee was also asked about the grant on Tuesday at an ASEAN conference in Australia. He said it had been funded by a post-Covid tourism recovery effort and that he did not see the exclusivity clause as being “unfriendly” to other countries.

“If we had not made such an arrangement, would she have come to someplace else in Southeast Asia or more places in Southeast Asia?” he said, speaking in Melbourne. “Maybe, maybe not.”

News of the regional backlash to the grant was reported earlier by The Wall Street Journal , The Diplomat and other news outlets.

Professor Harris Rimmer said that, financial incentives aside, Singapore is a logical place for Swift to play in Southeast Asia, in part because it is safe for young female fans and has excellent transport links to the rest of the region. She said Ms. Swift’s glamorous mystique also fits nicely with Singapore’s efforts to promote itself as the “glamour kitten of Asia.”

“I don’t think she needs Singapore’s money, at this point,” she added.

Some Swifties have made their peace with the singer’s limited itinerary in their region. Mostly.

Jose Bunachita, 30, a writer in the Philippine city of Cebu, said that he saw Ms. Swift in Japan last month, and that his 11-day trip there had cost around $1,500. “I had the time of my life singing my heart out,” he said.

Still, he said, “I also feel like it would have been more of a fun experience if a majority of the concertgoers had been fellow Filipino Swifties.”

Politics (Taylor’s Version): After months of anticipation, Swift made her first foray into the 2024 election for Super Tuesday with a bipartisan message on Instagram . The singer, who some believe has enough influence  to affect the result of the election , has yet to endorse a presidential candidate.

Conspiracy Theories: In recent months, conspiracy theories about Swift and her relationship with Kelce have proliferated , largely driven by supporters of former President Donald Trump . The pop star's fans are shaking them off .

Tour de France 2024 Route stage 4: Pinerolo - Valloire

Before crossing the Italian-French the riders climb to Sestriere. It’s a 7 kilometres toil with an average gradient of 7.2%, but if you start your mathematics at the start the ascent is 39.9 kilometres long and sloping at 3.7%.

The Tour descends into France and continues north towards to the Col de Montgenèvre. This 8.3 kilometres climb at 5.9% is crested around the midway marker. Following a reltively short descent the riders a false flat towards the Col du Galibier. Which is a beast – 23 kilometres long and averaging 5.1%. The last kilometre goes up at 9% before a 19 kilometres descent leads to the line in Valloire.

Valloire saw only one Tour de France stage finish until now. In 2019, Nairo Quintana soloed to victory from the breakaway in the village that’s nestled between the Col du Télégraphe and Col du Galibier. The 2019 stage also came down the latter pass.

BWF French Open 2024: Lee Zii Jia out in round one 

Paris 2024

Malaysia's star shuttler suffered a first round exit at the BWF World Tour Super 750 event in Paris, France.

Lee Zii Jia faced Magnus Johannesen in the first round of the BWF French Open 2024.

Lee Zii Jia has crashed out in round one at the BWF Franch Open 2024 .

Malaysia's badminton ace lost to Magnus Johannesen (Denmark) 21-15, 21-19 on Wednesday (6 March) in Paris and is forced to go back to the drawing board ahead of next week's prestigious All England Championships.

After having two good weeks of training back home in Kuala Lumpur, the World No. 10 struggled to find his rhythm, playing catach-up for most of the match.

It was all over after just 41 minutes.

Next up for Johannesen is men's singles world No. 2 Shi Yuqi , who defeated home favourite Christo Popov 21-14, 21-15. Popov claimed his first BWF World Tour title last week at the German Open.

Earlier in the day, Anders Antonsen eliminated Chia Hao Lee 21-16, 21-13.

In women's singles, Beiwen Zhang upset Rio 2016 Olympic champion Carolina Marín 14-21, 21-16, 21-17 to set up an encounter with former world champion PV Sindhu in the second round.

Two-time world champion Yamaguchi Akane had little trouble beating Gao Fang Jie in straight games and will now face Yvonne Li of Germany.

The BWF French Open 2024 concludes on Sunday (10 March).
