Who has abandoned the 2024 Tour de France ?

Stage 21 - Tadej Pogačar punctuates third GC title with dominant ITT win in Nice / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) sealed the third overall Tour victory in his career using a dominant display of power in the hilly stage 21 time trial. It was his sixth stage win of this year's Tour. In the yellow jersey and the last man down the start ramp in Monaco, he completed the 33.7km course in 45:25, 1:03 up on second-placed Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike). World time trial champion Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) was another 11 seconds back in third. 

Vingegaard, who won the last two Tours, finished 6:17 behind Pogačar for second place overall, while Evenepoel took third, 9:18 back. 

Stage 20 - Tadej Pogačar stamps his authority in yellow with victory atop Col de la Couillole ahead of Jonas Vingegaard / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar’s (UAE Team Emirates) outsprinted Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) at the top of the Col de la Couillole to win stage 20 of the Tour de France on Saturday. It was the race leader's fifth stage victory of the Tour.

The duo caught, and passed, the two-rider breakaway of Enric Mas (Movistar) and Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) with 2.5km on the climb, Carapaz trying to hold their back wheels but fading to third on the stage. Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) would pass Mas and finish fourth, holding on to third overall in the standings.

Stage 19 -  Tour de France: Tadej Pogačar takes stunning solo win on stage 19 to secure yellow jersey / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar tightened his grip on the 2024 Tour de France with yet another stage victory in Isola 2000 after yet another dominant performance.  

UAE Team Emirates controlled the breakaway over the Cime de la Bonette and then Pogačar caught and dropped Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) just two kilometres from the finish to win his 15th Tour stage and his tenth Grand Tour stage of the year. 

Pogačar took a bow as he crossed the finish line, with Jorgenson 20 seconds behind and dejected in defeat. Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard finishing at 1:42, focusing on their battle for second and third rather than trying to match Pogačar. 

Stage 18 -  Tour de France: Victor Campenaerts surges from three-rider breakaway for stage 18 victory / As it happened

Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny) won stage 18 from Gap to Barcelonnette in the low climbs and valleys of the Alps, after a breakaway was finally allowed to fight  for victory. The Belgian rider beat Tour debutant Mattéo Vercher (TotalEnergies) and Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers) after 36 riders attacked early in the stage. 

The trio worked well together in the final 35 km and then sprinted for the stage victory. 

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and the other GC contenders preferred to save their energy for the final mountain stage of this year’s Tour de France that began on Friday, the peloton finishing 13:40 down on Campenaerts.

Stage 17 - Richard Carapaz climbs to stage 17 solo victory as Pogačar fortifies lead / As it happened

Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) finally claimed a hard-fought stage victory after days of trying in the breakaways. But the news of the day was Tadej Pogačar launching an unexpected attack while his rivals were isolated from their teammates. While his move didn't work, Remco Evenepoel got away to gain 10 seconds.

Stage 16 - Jasper Philipsen nets third win on frantic stage 16 sprint in Nîmes / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) sprinted to his third stage win of the Tour de France, dominating the closing sprint of stage 16 in Nîmes as green jersey Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) crashed in the final 2km.

The Belgian eased to his ninth career Tour stage win ahead of Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) and Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X Mobility) to draw a close to one of the dullest days of this year’s race after a perfect lead-out from Mathieu van der Poel and all the Alpecin-Deceuninck train.

Stage 15 - Tadej Pogačar counters Jonas Vingegaard to win on Plateau de Beille / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) has shown, once again, that he is currently the strongest climber at the 2024 Tour de France. The yellow jersey soloed to victory on stage 15 on the Plateau de Beille. For the second day in a row, Pogačar beat Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) on a mountain finish and increased his lead in the overall classification to 3:09 over the Dane.

Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) finished the day in third place and held onto this third place overall, now at 5:19 back in the GC standings.

Stage 14 - Tadej Pogačar solos to stage 14 victory on Pla d’Adet, consolidates his lead / As it happened

On the first summit finish of the 2024 Tour de France, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) strengthened his hold on the maillot jaune after a thrilling finish up to Pla d’Adet saw him ride away to a stunning solo victory on stage 14 to extend his lead over Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep).

Pogačar bridged to an earlier attack of teammate Adam Yates before the Brit emptied the tank before the race leader, who then more than honoured the yellow jersey by riding solo through the packed crowds to a second stage win of the 2024 race some 39 seconds ahead of Vingegaard in second and 1:10 to Evenepoel.

Stage 13 - Jasper Philipsen powers to stage 13 victory in Pau ahead of Van Aert / As it happened

It was a hectic day of racing with crosswinds and multiple breakaways and a crash in the final sprint, but Jasper Philipsen prevailed through it all to take his second stage win of the 2024 Tour de France over Wout van Aert. There were no changes in the general classification other than the abandon of Primož Roglič and Juan Ayuso leaving the race .

Stage 12 - Biniam Girmay the new sprint boss, takes third win on stage 12 / As it happened

Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) won his third stage at the 2024 Tour de France and extended his lead in the green points jersey competition, producing another superb sprint finish in Villeneuve-sur-Lot.

The Eritrean appeared too far back in the final 500 metres but teammate Mike Teunissen dragged him up to Kirstoff’s wheel as the sprint exploded. He then jumped down the middle of the road to beat Wout Van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike).

Arnaud Démare (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) crossed the line in third place but was later relegated for closing Van Aert along the barriers. Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) finished fifth but was also relegated after he swerved to avoid Démare’s leadout man Dan McLay, who dropped back down the centre of the road.

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) finished safely in the peloton to retain the race lead but Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) was involved in a crash with 12 km to go. He finished 2:27 down on the peloton.

Stage 11 - Jonas Vingegaard charges ahead of Tadej Pogačar to win gripping finale / As it happened

Some 98 days after his horror crash at Itzulia Basque country, Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) produced the most important moment of the 2024 Tour de France so far, mounting an incredible comeback ride to both pull back Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and beat him in the two-up sprint in Le Lioran after being dropped 31.6km from the finish.

In what was a remarkable signal of a complete return to form for Vingegaard, who was a question mark for even starting the 111th edition of the Tour, the two-time defending champion clawed back a 30-second deficit to the race leader on the Col de Pertus, before working together and stunning him in the final sprint.

Pogačar waited until the final 150 metres to launch his explosive charge for home but surprisingly, the yellow jersey never came out of the wheel and the Dane held on with a great break throw, only daring to celebrate his fourth Tour stage win past the line.

Stage 10 - Jasper Philipsen launches well-timed sprint ahead of Girmay for stage victory / As it happened

After all the controversy and disappointment of the first week, Jasper Philipsen got back in the wins at the  Tour de France  on stage 10 following a textbook lead-out from World Champion Mathieu van der Poel and Alpecin-Deceuninck.

Finally, the win came for the best sprinter from last year’s Tour, with him hitting the wind in the final few hundred metres and the difference in power was so obvious, with a clear gap to second-placed Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) at the line, who continued a great run of form ahead of Pascal Ackermann (Israel-Premier Tech) in third.

Stage 9 - Anthony Turgis wins chaotic and captivating stage 9 / As it happened

As expected, gravel-packed stage 9 delivered hectic racing with the fight for the stage win, and the battle between contenders heated up. Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies) outsprinted his breakaway companions to take the win ahead of Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) and Derek Gee (Israel-PremierTech).

Yellow jersey Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) launched numerous attacks and though he managed to briefly distance Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), the reduced peloton regrouped and the contenders finished together with no changes to the top 5 in the general classification.

Stage 8 - Tour de France: Biniam Girmay triumphs with second sprint victory on stage 8 / As it happened  

Biniam Girmay continued a fairytale Tour de France as he took his second stage victory - this time donned in the green jersey, a competition where he now enjoys an 88-point lead.

The Eritrean rider was well protected by his Intermarché-Wanty, who placed him perfectly as he launched an attack from the wheel of Byran Coquard to sprint against Jasper Philipsen in a one-on-one battle to the line in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises. Stage favourite Arnaud De Lie came in third.

Stage 7 - Remco Evenepoel powers to stage 7 time trial victory as Pogačar holds onto yellow / As it happened

Time trial world champion Remco Evenepoel announced his presence in his first Tour de France and won the race against the clock on stage 7. Clad in the Tour's best young rider jersey rather than the rainbow stripes, he was 12 seconds faster than race leader Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates). Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) took a solid third, 34 seconds down on the Belgian, while Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) finished fourth in the 25.3km route from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Gevrey-Chambertin.

Stage 6 - Dylan Groenewegen wins photo finish at the line in Dijon / As it happened

Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco AlUla) threw his bike across the line in the dark shadows of stage 6 in Dijon and won the first photo finish of the Tour de France. He celebrated with a victory over Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), who was later relegated from second place to 107th for blocking a Visma-Lease a Bike rider.

Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) then moved from third to second place, and maintained the green jersey for a third day. Fernando Gaviria (Movistar) moved up to third place on the stage. There were no changes in the GC, with Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) arriving safely in the bunch.

Stage 5 - Mark Cavendish carves history with all-time record-breaking win on stage 5 / As it happened

There was a time when Mark Cavendish stage victories at the Tour de France seemed to come about almost as a matter of routine, like the setting of the sun or the rising of the tides. The road to his record-breaking 35th victory was altogether more complicated, but that only heightened the emotion as the Manxman won stage 5 in Saint Vulbas on Wednesday afternoon.

The sprint finale was a chaotic one, as is so often the case in the modern Tour, but Cavendish has been imposing his order on situations like this since he was barely out of his teens. He delivered a rasping sprint to beat Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X Mobility) to the line, breaking the record he had shared with Eddy Merckx since 2021.

Stage 4 - Tour de France stage 4: Tadej Pogačar snares yellow with victory over the Galibier / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar took control of the Tour de France after he attacked near the summit of the Col du Galibier to win stage 4 in Valloire and move back into the yellow jersey. UAE Team Emirates imposed a relentless pace on the Galibier, whittling the front group down before Pogačar attacked 900m from the top.

Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) stayed within ten seconds of Pogačar on the final ramps of the Galibier and on the early, technical part of the descent, but the Slovenian stretched out his advantage on the drop into Valloire. Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) and Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) were part of a group that joined Vingegaard in the finale, but they came home some 35 seconds down on Pogačar, who is chasing a Giro-Tour double.

Stage 3 - Tour de France stage 3: Biniam Girmay wins bunch sprint in Turin as Richard Carapaz takes yellow / As it happened

The 2024 Tour de France had barely begun before Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) made a page of cycling history with a bunch sprint victory in Turin, becoming the first ever Black African to win a stage of cycling’s biggest bike race. The Eritrean’s groundbreaking win came after a mass crash inside the final kilometres saw various sprinters blocked and unable to sprint, although as it was inside the ‘safety zone’, all riders were awarded the same time . Following the crash, the better stage placings for Richard Carapaz (EF Education-Easy Post) enabled the former Giro d’Italia winner to become Ecuador’s first ever Tour de France leader, tied on time with previous maillot jaune Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates)   Stage 2 - Tadej Pogačar moves into maillot jaune as Kévin Vauquelin solos to victory on stage 2 / As it happened

Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) delivered back-to-back glorious breakaway days at the Tour de France for the home nation, in the Italian Grand Départ no less, netting the stage 2 victory to Bologna after attacking away solo from his fellow escapees on the famous San Luca climb with 14km to go.

As the GC fight unfolded some three minutes down, it was déjà vu from the 2023 edition as Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) exploded into life on the second ascent, forcing Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) into a response. Only Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) and Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) could catch back on after the descent for home into Bologna. Pogačar moved into the yellow jersey for the first time since the 2022 race after dropping Romain Bardet (DSM-Firmenich PostNL) on the San Luca climb.

Stage 1 - Romain Bardet steals the show on stage 1 as Van den Broek helps power DSM-Firmenich-PostNL to first maillot jaune / As it happened

In what is due to be his  final Tour de France , Romain Bardet (DSM-Firmenich PostNL) rolled back the years to take the most stunning win of his career on stage 1 of the 2024 race, surviving a charging peloton by the barest of margins to net him a first-ever stint in the yellow jersey.

Bardet crossed the line with teammate Frank van den Broek after the DSM duo put on a masterclass on the road from Florence to Rimini, completing a breathless finish with only a few metres to spare from Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) who took third.

How does the Tour de France work?

The 111th edition of the Tour de France starts in Florence, Italy, on Saturday, June 29 and ends three weeks later in Nice on Sunday, July 21. It is the first time the Tour starts in Italy. The Tour de France will not finish in Paris as it usually does. Instead, the finish is in Nice to avoid the preparations for the 2024 Olympics Games, which begin just a week later in Paris.

Riders have to cover the entire 2024 Tour de France route , passing through four nations – Italy, San Marino, France, and Monaco.

The rider who completes the distance in the fastest time wins the race, also known as the 'overall classification'. Each day, the rider who has completed the entire distance raced the quickest is the leader of the Tour de France, and wears a yellow jersey to signify him as such.

Read more about the jerseys of the Tour de France .

There is a second time classification for the best rider under the age of 26, the best young riders' classification, and he wears a white jersey if leading.

Riders also gain points for their position at the end of each day of racing, known as "stages". There is a secondary prize for the rider who gains the most points - the "points classification", and the leader each day wears a green jersey.

There are also points atop a select number of mountains for the first riders to cross the top, with more points available the harder the mountain is to climb. The leader of the mountains classification wears a white jersey with red polka dots.

Most days, the peloton race the distance of the Tour de France stage as a bunch. This year's Tour de France features two individual time trials, where riders race a set distance alone against the clock.

There are other prizes, too. Read about the Souvenir Henri Desgranges and Souvenir Jacques-Goddet .

Defending Tour de France champion  Jonas Vingegaard will again have a strong Jumbo-Visma team to support his quest for a third title, but this time, former team leader Primož Roglič has turned to rival as he looks to give Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe top billing. Vingegaard will also face huge challenges from Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep). 

In the flat stages, look for last year's green jersey victor Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to contest for another title against Fabio Jakobsen , now with Team dsm-firmenich, and Caleb Ewan , now with Jayco-AlUIa. And fastman Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) is back for an 18th pro season to mix it up in the sprints, on the hunt for a record-breaking 35th Tour de France stage victory.

And there will be opportunities across the three weeks for breakaway riders to shine, including the likes of Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-QuickStep), Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck).

2021 Tour de France: Dates, times, schedule, how to watch, stream

Everything you need to know to catch this year's annual 21-stage bicycling competition.

For 108 years, the Tour de France has served as the greatest test of man and his mastery of the bicycle that there is. And this year, the race is back yet again. One of the three Grand Tours in cycling, the Tour de France has once again attracted many of the best cyclists from around the world for its annual 21 stage, 23 day challenge.

This year, there are some differences in how the Tour is being conducted: Traditionally held throughout July, the race has been moved from June 26 to July 18 in order to avoid overlapping with the Tokyo Olympics. And due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the race has been moved from Copenhagen to Brest.

Saturday's Grand Départ saw one of the most bizarre moments in the race's history. While Julian Alaphilipe won the first stage, opening day was marred by a massive accident that occurred when an overzealous fan held a cardboard sign too far out into the groove, tripping up Tony Martin and causing a massive pileup of bicycles and humanity.

Here's a complete rundown of how to catch all the action from June into July:

Fantastic Girmay makes it three

Another brilliant finish for Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty) in the green jersey gave him a third stage victory at the 2024 Tour de France as he outsprinted his rivals to the line in Villeneuve-sur-Lot. Girmay accelerated superbly on the final straight of Stage 12, beating second placed Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) and third placed Arnaud Demare (Arkea-B&B Hotels) to the finish. Demare was subsequently disqualified, moving Pascal Ackermann (Israel-Premier Tech) up to third. A crash towards the end of the stage for Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) saw him lose time in the GC, whilst Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) retained the yellow jersey. Pogacar continues to lead by 1’06” from second placed Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step), whilst Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) is third at +1’14”. Roglic has dropped to sixth overall, now +4’42” off the leader Pogacar.

A picturesque route ahead Stage 12 commenced with 167 riders on the start line, after Michael Morkov tested positive for Covid-19 and the Astana Qazaqstan team’s medical staff took the decision to withdraw him from the Tour. With an afternoon in the beautiful landscapes of the Cantal and Lot regions ahead on the hilly 203.6 km route from Aurillac to Villeneuve-sur-Lot, the early running saw several breakaway attempts failing in the first few kilometres. Four men in the breakaway Eventually it was Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) who initiated a successful movement at km 19 and he was quickly followed by his teammate Quentin Pacher (Groupama-FDJ), as well as Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X) and Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies). This quartet did not encounter any opposition at first, especially as the peloton’s progress was disrupted by a crash at km 23. The incident was of no consequence, however, the day quickly turned into an ordeal for (Fabio Jakobsen Team dsm-firmenich PostNL) and then later Pello Bilbao (Bahrain – Victorious) who both abandoned the race due to illness. Abrahamsen and Turgis Still wearing the polka dot jersey despite having lost the lead in the Mountain classification to Yellow Jersey Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) yesterday, Abrahamsen was the first to reach the summits of both the Côte d'Autoire (Cat. 4, km 62.8) and the Côte de Rocamadour (Cat. 4, km 84.3), where the breakaway foursome maintained a lead of 2'10” over the peloton. Turgis then led the breakaway through the intermediate sprint point at Gourdon (km 110), where they still had a 1’25” lead over their pursuers in the main group. The top of the Côte de Montcléra (Cat. 4, km 135.5) climb was also reached first by Abrahamsen and by that time the peloton had reduced their deficit to 1'10”. An exciting finale in Villeneuve-sur-Lot That Côte de Montcléra climb had seen Turgis lose contact with the other three riders in the breakaway and within 30 km the peloton caught up with the remaining trio of escapees (at km 162). With 12.5 kilometres to go a crash for Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Qazaqstan) brought several other riders to the ground, including Roglic, costing him crucial time in the GC. After a flat final sector it was another fantastic, frantic bunch sprint in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, with Girmay producing a brutal acceleration to beat his rivals to the finish line for his third win at this year’s Tour.
