Spectacle and high drama, the eyes of every cycling fan worldwide are glued to their TV screen during the month of July as the riders fight for the famous Maillot Jaune and eternal stage winning glory.

An incredibly difficult U23 level race, this year’s edition is no different as the peloton will battle over multiple mountains and take on several summit finishes throughout the five days of racing.

Although there are some small hills in the race; the GC will most likely come down to those who are good against the clock with the two TTs, or a strong sprinter who takes lots of bonus seconds.

Starting in the Bretagne region, punchy stages and sprints await before the race snakes its way across to the east of the country where a big final weekend of tough climbing will settle the GC.

The traditional split team TTT gets things underway, before a mix of terrain that includes a summit finish at La Planche des Belles Filles lays ahead of the Development program throughout the week.
