This week, ASO has released the route for the 2024 editions of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. On our GCN Racing channel, Joe Timms has gone through exactly what's included and how it's going to affect the race.

Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift

We've got a full breakdown of the route for the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. In short, the route begins in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, before heading south through Belgium. The race will only enter France during stage 5, a rolling stage from Bastogne to Amnéville.

Once in France, the Tour will skirt its way along the eastern border of the country, with the race culminating on the formidable Alpe d'Huez on stage 8, the final stage. It's the first time the women's Tour has taken on this iconic climb, and will make for a thrilling finale to this year's race.

Tour de France

For more information, see our full breakdown of the route for the 2024 Tour de France. The route begins in Florence, Italy, and over three stages winds its way towards the French border.

The route crosses into France on stage 4, where it heads north until Troyes, about 100km south of Paris. From here, the route heads southwest towards the Pyrenees, before skirting along the southern border of the country to Monaco, the finish of this year's race.

This is the first time the race has finished outside of Paris. Instead of a winner's procession, the final stage will be a time trial ending in Nice.
