The world's strongest and fiercest cyclists are gearing up to tackle the 2024 Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift as audiences worldwide prepare to witness an incredible season of captivating sport and entertainment. SBS, Australia's home of cycling will capture all the action and drama of the world's biggest annual sporting event live and free from June 29.
SBS will provide extensive coverage of both the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift with the men's race starting June 29 to July 21 and the women's race starting, post the Paris Olympic Games, from August 12 to August 18.
Spanning across four countries, the highly anticipated 111th Tour de France will begin in Florence, Italy for the very first time in history, taking riders through Bologna and Torino before leaving Italy and cycling through San Marino, Monaco, and France. For the first time in history, the race will not finish in its traditional Paris destination, but the stunning city of Nice in the Cote d'Azur will host the final stage of this year's Tour.
Crossing 3,492 kilometres, including 52,340 metres of vertical gain over 21 stages, the Tour will visit 39 picturesque towns, through stunning scenery and historic landmarks.
Four mountain ranges, the Apennines, the French and Italian Alps, the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, will deliver spectacular scenery and the renowned difficulty associated with the Tour de France. In this years' route, cyclists will heroically tackle eight flat stages, four hilly stages, two individual time trials and seven mountain stages - four of which will conclude at the summit (Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet, Plateau de Beille, Isola 2000 and Col de la Couillole). For the first time in 35 years, the race will finish with an individual time-trial.
The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will begin the day after the Paris Olympic Games on August 12 in beautiful Rotterdam, Netherlands. Travelling through Belgium and France, the race will cross three countries and three French regions, covering 10 departments. The cyclists will battle it out to the finish line on August 18 on the most famous Alpe in Tour history - Alpe d'Huez, making its debut in the women's race route. The eight stages of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift include three flat stages, two hilly stages, two mountain stages, and one individual time trial.
