    Description
    The details of the Tour de France 2024, which will be held from 29 June to 21 July, were revealed by Christian Prudhomme in front of almost 4,000 spectators at the Palais des Congrès in Paris.

    As its title suggests, the 111th edition will feature a series of firsts, starting with the Grand Départ, which for the first time will be held in Italy, in Florence, then head to Emilia-Romagna for the finish of stage one in Rimini.

    The quest for the Yellow Jersey will continue as soon as the race enters France, with a stage that will take the peloton to the Col du Galibier on stage four, then on the white paths around Troyes, in a time trial in Burgundy over the Massif Central at Le Lioran, the Pyrenees at the Plateau de Beille on 14 July; and again in the Southern Alps, where they will have to beat an altitude record at the Cime de la Bonnette.

    The race for the overall victory may not be settled after the battle of the summits and could even come to an end on the final stage, which for the first time will finish somewhere other than Paris, precisely between Monaco and Nice for a 34-kilometre time trial. A litmus test that will resolve all questions.
    At the Place Masséna, just a stone's throw from the Promenade des Anglais, the winner will be presented with a trophy in a new format featuring the Yellow Jersey to be shared with his teammates!
