Tour de France and Pro Cycling Manager – What are the big changes for the 2023 games?

The Tour de France – the pinnacle of road bike racing, the grandest of Grand Tours, the most intense three weeks of sporting action the world has ever seen.

For the cycling fraternity, it’s the Tour de France which excites the most and even though there are many other events taking place throughout the calendar – none more so than the most beautiful of races in the form of the Giro d’Italia and the brutality of something like Paris–Roubaix, otherwise known as the Hell of the North – it’s still the Tour that brings the hype.

And for years that hype has tried to be integrated into the virtual world, with annual editions of Tour de France and Pro Cycling Manager video games signalling the start of summer. Honestly, as a cyclist, as a fan of the sport, and as a gamer, I’ve been left wanting by what has been offered. Perhaps that will change with the imminent arrival of Tour de France 2023 on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, as it is accompanied by the PC-only Pro Cycling Manager 2023 .

Hopes are high for what Nacon and Cyanide Studios are promising with their 2023 iterations of TDF and PCM, as they take what has served them over the years and throw in some changes. We’d personally like to see bigger feature lists and a swathe of new ideas come to the fore – as well as big changes to the visuals and audio – but we’ll take what we can for 2023.

We’ve seen Tour de France 2023 on Steam, as well as the less exciting (for us) Pro Cycling Manager 2023 and whilst our full review will come around closer to the June 8th 2023 release, we’ve taken in enough here to be able to provide a little insight.

Most of our focus has been on Tour de France 2023, not just because the Pro Cycling Manager accompaniment is a PC only option, but prior testing has seen the console game come out on top, as we pitted Tour de France up against Pro Cycling Manager . But that’s not to say PCM 2023 won’t be worth a look for the keenest of PC cyclists, with promise of more than 260 races, 700 stages, 70 official playable teams and a host of game modes all present.

Whether it’ll be the stages of the Tour de France 2023 route that you overseer via your Directeur sportif role, or the Career, Pro Cyclist, Single Race, Multiplayer or Track offerings on the table, if it’s stats, figures and detail you want, PCM is going to be the main draw.

For us though it’s the main Tour de France game that gets the legs spinning, as we reach for the lycra, don the helmet and attempt to replicate the real-world antics of a Tadej Pogačar, a Primož Roglič, or the reigning TDF yellow jersey holder, Jonas Vingegaard.

Why? Well, Nacon and Cyanide are promising more with this edition, and for us, that is something that has been very much needed. The standards and staples that you would expect will be in place come June, with the inclusion of the biggest teams from the peloton in place, covering upwards of 800 international riders as it goes. Official licensing is a big part of what is on offer, and the development teams have gone deep with no less than 13 different stats for each of those riders. That should, in turn, enhance realism.

Of course, it goes without saying that the official route of the 2023 Tour de France will also be replicated, with multiple mountain ranges ready to be climbed – and descended. And it’s here where a couple of new features are promised – the Medium Mountain rating for riders, and agility level of each.

These should both come to the fore with the new Downhill of the Moment mode, as Nacon and Cyanide build on last year’s Race of the Moment and task you with descending a mountain as fast as you can. With new challenges promised each week, this should well work as a decent little aside from the main slog of working through the career.

Throw in the usual side races away from the Tour in the form of some of the iconic Classics, and it does feel that Nacon and Cyanide are again playing safe with what Tour de France 2023 – the video game – will offer. We’ll find out in full review as the launch of that game, and Pro Cycling Manager 2023, approaches, but don’t expect too much of a shake-up in the peloton. That said, with Netflix releasing their Tour de France: Unchained series on the same day as the games head to release, there could well be an influx of interest in some lycra-clad battles. We can only hope the virtual versions can live up to the hype.

You’ll be able to play Tour de France 2023 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC, whilst Pro Cycling Manager 2023 will be PC exclusive. You can wishlist Tour de France 2023 over on Steam .

Huge thanks go out to Nacon and Cyanide for giving us the chance to get the rundown on both games.

Pro Cycling Manager 2022 and Tour de France 2022 PC games both launch today

It's indoor cycling, but without the effort

Pro Cycling Manager 2022 computer game capture

Typically, when the world of cycling collides with computer gaming, we're talking about the upsurging discipline of indoor cycling, with turbo trainers, Zwift and the likes, but not today. Today's announcement comes from the more mainstream world of computer gaming, where you'd typically find people talking about Minecraft or League of Legends.

While probably not able to boast the same participant levels as the aforementioned duo, two of road cycling's biggest PC games are getting a refresh, and the result is that today sees the launch of Pro Cycling Manager 2022 and Tour de France 2022.

Both titles are owned and produced by Nacon Gaming, a gaming company from the North of France, and their annual launch is timed to coincide with the Tour de France .

Pro Cycling Manager 2022

Pro Cycling Manager was originally launched in 2001 under the shortened name of Cycling Manager. It took on the 'Pro' label in 2005, and has been an annual launch ever since.

The main premise of the game is to transport you, the player, into the role of a directeur sportif of a professional cycling team, with the aim of growing your team to the top of the sport by managing recruitment, sponsors, training, talent-spotting, race strategy and more. However, the game's alternative Pro Cyclist mode allows you to become a single rider with the aim of winning races and building a career.

There are a host of updates for the 2022 game, which include a new talent scouting system in which your scouts are designed to learn and improve over time, adjusted racing dynamics that mimic real-life unpredictability, a new rider development process, a redesigned interface that's easier to navigate, and an amendment to the systems that control riders' stamina and resistance. Each stage from the 2022 Tour de France has also been built into the new game.

It's priced at £34.99, but unfortunately for Mac owners, Pro Cycling Manager is only available on PC, via the Steam store .

Tour de France 2022

While Pro Cycling Manager puts you into the role of DS or rider, Tour de France allows you to be a rider, an entire team, or even a race organiser.

In Pro Leader mode, you are a rider. You can choose to be any rider type you like, from sprinter to mountain goat, and the aim, perhaps unsurprisingly, is to have a successful Tour de France. For some, that will mean points jersey success, while others will want to go all-in for the GC. In Pro Team mode, you start at the lowest rungs of the cycling ladder. As a team, you're required to work toward success and earn race invitations. As the invitations grow, so does your team's profile, and the ultimate goal is an invitation to - and ultimately, victory at - the Tour. Meanwhile, My Tour mode puts you in the shoes of the race organiser. Choose from 92 stages to build a 21-day grand tour, choosing the route, the rest days, the teams that partake and more.

For 2022, new features include an online mode with a challenge called 'race of the week', which lets you race against fellow players around the world. The new racing dynamics found in Pro Cycling Manager are also found here, likewise the stages of the 2022 Tour de France, as well as "the 'Primavera Classic' inspired by a major Italian race," which we can only assume is Milan-San Remo.

Like Pro Cycling Manager. Tour de France 2022 is also unavailable to Mac users, but alongside the Steam-powered PC game it is also available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series X.

La Grande Boucle est de retour ! Si elle n'arrivera exceptionnellement pas à Paris mais à Nice, Jeux Olympiques oblige, elle procurera comme chaque année de grosses émotions. Le Tour de France s'élancera le 29 juin de Florence en Italie, et pour patienter Cyanide et Nacon sortent leur simulation annuelle ce jeudi. Avec une grande nouveauté pour le duo Tour de France 2024 - Pro Cycling Manager 2024.

Vingegaard en tête d'affiche, Pogačar et Roglič en outsider sur Tour de France 2024

Fin mai, à l'occasion d'une visite des locaux de Cyanide, en charge de la licence depuis sa création en 2001, nous avons pu avoir une présentation des deux nouveaux-nés du studio Nanterrien. De quoi avoir le plein d'infos et de nouveautés sur ces derniers. Tour de France 2024 et Pro Cycling Manager 2024 sortent tous les deux ce jeudi 6 juin, sur PC, PS5, Xbox Series et PS4 pour la simulation, et sur PC pour le jeu de gestion. Cette saison, l'équipe Jumbo-Visma, écrasante de domination l'année dernière, est mise à l'honneur avec le Danois Jonas Vingegaard en tête d'affiche. Pas sûr que ce dernier soit apte à 100% pour le Tour, mais c'est encore une jolie jaquette pour TDF. Si l'on commence par le jeu de simulation avant de finir par le jeu de gestion Pro Cycling Manager, Vingegaard sera bien accompagné au milieu de plus de 1000 coureurs, avec 250 cyclistes intégrés par rapport à l'édition précédente. Tout sera sous licence, des coureurs aux équipes en passant par les panneaux de décors pour les courses ou les marques d'équipement (Specialized, Cervelo, Merdo, Factor, Scott...). Petites exceptions avec les Teams Pro Tour TdT-Unibet et Flanders-Baloise qu'il faudra renommer si vous voulez être immergé à 100% dans l'aventure.

Achetez Tour de France 2024 chez Amazon

Tour de France 2024 et Pro Cycling Manager 2024, les Pogačar et Vingegaard du jeu de vélo sont de sortie !

Bien évidemment, les tracés 2024 ont été actualisés pour le Tour de France et les autres courses classiques. Un nouveau type de route sera intégré avec une gestion particulière à avoir comme sur les Pavés de Roubaix : les chemins de terre. Aussi appelés chemins blancs, ils seront présents lors de l'étape 9 reliant Troyes à Troyes. Pour rappel, le jeu Tour de France concerne une gestion en direct et manuelle d'une équipe ou d'un coureur sur plusieurs étapes selon le mode de jeu choisi. Dans les modes Carrière en solo ou en équipe (Pro Leader et Pro Team), il sera désormais possible de commencer directement avec une équipe Pro. Une écoute du studio envers les joueurs désireux de se lancer rapidement dans le grand bain du circuit professionnel.

Des options supplémentaires font leur apparition, comme la possibilité de choisir son kit (maillot) cycliste en mode My Tour, ou son règlement. Alors qu'auparavant tous les règlements étaient calqués sur celui du Tour de France, on peut désormais paramétrer les points obtenus en haut des cols, les bonifications en calquant d'autres règlements. La fréquence des chutes est maintenant paramétrable pour les IA et joueurs humains. Enfin, avant d'aborder le grand retour du titre, notons l'effort de Cyanide sur les sous-titres du jeu, entièrement customisables pour atteindre une très bonne accessibilité.

Le Mode multi de Tour de France 2024 est là !

Mais la grosse nouveauté, ou le grand retour du titre, c'est le mode multijoueur nommé "Critérium". Présenté sur la bande-annonce de cet article, il met aux prises jusqu'à 6 joueurs en simultané (des IA comblant les éventuels manques de joueurs). Une fois le matchmaking établi, chaque joueur dispose de 2 coureurs avec pour chacun la même note et le même profil de cycliste . Les 12 coureurs en courses sont alors parfaitement équilibrés pour assurer l'équité (si vous choisissez Pogačar, il aura la même note que le Paret-Peintre de l'adversaire) et seule la tactique et les skills comptent pour dompter la partie rapide (30 kilomètres environ) et faire en sorte qu'un membre de votre binôme l'emporte.

Nous avons d'ailleurs eu l'occasion de nous essayer à ce mode multijoueur lors d'un playtest à l'issue de la présentation. La formule fonctionne bien, il y a un petit temps d'adaptation pour donner des consignes et gérer la course à deux coureurs, mais certaines sessions pourront donner lieu à de franches rigolades. Le bémol technique lors du playtest venait surtout du moment où l'on switche d'un coureur à un autre , si ce dernier était en pleine descente dans le peloton, la perte des roues et la chute était quasi-assurée. Un couac qui devrait être corrigé à la sortie. Jouer à ce mode Critérium et performer lors de ces parties donnera par la suite des récompenses cosmétiques (nouveaux coureurs, maillots etc.) pour son équipe en multi, un peu sous la forme d'un passe de combat mais unique selon chaque joueur (screen ci-contre). Par exemple, vous pouvez débloquer Vingegaard en première semaine alors que votre ami lui débloquera Roglič. Une feature sympa pour varier les cyclistes présents en courses multi.

Pro Cycling Manager 2024, un pas en avant ?

N'oublions pas le pendant stratégique de TDF 24, le jeu de gestion Pro Cycling Manager ! Lui aussi profite du 6 juin pour se dévoiler officiellement sur PC via Steam. Plus de 230 courses et 600 étapes dont les 21 du Tour de France, le paradis des managers en herbe voulant développer une équipe de A à Z en ayant plus de possibilités que sur Tour de France 2024, la gestion du vélo en live en moins. L'ensemble des courses organisées par les groupes ASO et RCS Sport sont là, tous les coureurs et équipes World Tour, Pro Tour ainsi qu'une douzaine d'équipes continentales.

Pas de grosses nouveautés cette année, mais plusieurs petits ajustements, à commencer par un système d'objectifs revus . Les 15 objectifs proposés en début de saison sont plus clairs et adaptés au niveau de l’équipe choisie, et les objectifs de courses sont eux modifiables par les joueurs, histoire d'adapter le challenge à leur sauce. Les menus ont été remis au goût du jour, avec une refonte de l'onglet effectif, une page de recherche plus simple d'utilisation et un nouveau Race Center (panneau pendant les courses) afin d'avoir des infos supplémentaires sans mettre en pause votre course. Les néophytes seront encore mieux accompagnés avec un assistant guidant les phases interactives et donnant des suggestions, un assistant pouvant être désactivé à tout moment. Enfin, mentionnons les chemins de terre pris en compte dans le comportement de l'IA avec plus de risque de crevaisons et le système de collisions supprimé dans les 5 derniers kilomètres , un parti-pris pour empêcher les trains de sprint bloqués et frustrant, la note de plaine devenant alors très importante.

Ces licences pédalent dans la semoule.

Gameplay trailers released for Tour de France 2023 and Pro Cycling Manager 2023

Tour de France 2023 and Pro Cycling Manager 2023 trailers news

Nacon and Cyanide Studio have revealed new trailers for two of their upcoming games, Tour de France 2023 and Pro Cycling Manager 2023 . Both games are set to release on June 8, with Tour de France 2023 coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, and Pro Cycling Manager 2023 coming to PC.

Both games are set to feature tons of teams across various competitions, with Tour de France 2023 featuring riders from 21 teams in this year’s competition, and Pro Cycling Manager 2023 allowing players to manage teams across World Tour, Pro Tour, and most of the Continental. Climber, Sprinter, Puncher, and Rouleur rider profiles and characteristics will also be available on both titles.

Jerseys from the cycling world have been faithfully reproduced, with the four distinct jerseys of the Tour de France (yellow, green, white, and polka-dot) available, as well as national champion and world champion rainbow jerseys.

As well as the “Race of the Moment”, which was introduced in the previous edition, a new challenge has been added: the “Downhill of the Moment”. This new game mode takes place solely on downhill stretches and so requires unique strategies. Players can then compare their ranking with other competitors from all over the world.
More realistic rating system: The introduction of Agility and Medium Mountain ratings can lead to unexpected incidents, such as falls within the peloton, and also has an effect on what path the riders take.
More strategic gameplay: Players can devise different strategies depending on their team members and their statistics.
Updated rider equipment, now rated based on quality.
Distinctive bibs added: “Super Combative” and “Best Team” for a greater challenge.
Various technical improvements: including collisions, AI behaviour and the path riders take in downhill stretches.

As for Pro Cycling Manager 2023, players can expect the following:

Improved user interfaces with a redesign of the “race results” page and a brand-new “race page”.
A new training system: management of the training calendar and tasks so priorities can be set.
Official races with all ASO races (Tour de France, Paris-Roubaix, Paris-Nice).
A redesigned world ranking, now based on the real-life system and UCI points classification.
A new system for managing nation registration for the World Championships.

Tour de France 2023 and Pro Cycling Manager 2023 first gameplay trailer introduces new mode

NACON and Cyanide Studio are proud to show the first gameplay images of Tour de France 2023 in a new trailer. The latest edition of the iconic cycling game boasts a range of improvements, including the new "Downhill of the Moment" game mode. As usual, the game will launch alongside its sibling, Pro Cycling Manager 2023, where you let others pedal to victory while you strategize and manage your cyclists.

In Tour de France 2023 , players get on their bikes to race in a group of major races in the cycling calendar – the Tour de France, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Flèche Wallonne, Paris-Nice, Critérium du Dauphiné, Paris-Tours, Paris-Roubaix – and experience the excitement of each event. Players become a rider for one of the 27 World Tour and Pro Tour teams in different game modes during the game.

There's a whole lot in this newest installment. The mode Race of the Moment, introduced in Tour de France 2022, returns. To add to the novelty is the new challenge called "Downhill of the Moment." This game mode takes place solely on downhill stretches and requires unique strategies. Players can then compare their ranking with other competitors from all over the world.

The system is more realistic than ever with the introduction of Agility and Medium Mountain ratings. Players can fall prey to unexpected incidents, such as falls within the peloton. It also has an effect on what path the riders take. Team members' statics allows the creation of different strategies for more tactical gameplay. Last, there have been several technical improvements, such as collisions, AI behavior, and the path riders take in downhill stretches.

Pro Cycling Manager 2023 is also returning for those who prefer to stay backstage and manage the peloton. Once again, it offers players the chance to be the sports director of their own cycling team.

Pro Cycling Manager Guide

Carrière - introduction.

Lorsque vous lancez une nouvelle carrière, vous allez devoir passer par plusieurs étapes importantes.

Tout d’abord, vous devez choisir une équipe. Cette équipe peut être déjà existante, ou bien vous pouvez créer une équipe entièrement personnalisée. Cette équipe appartiendra à l’une des 3 divisions cyclistes professionnelles.

Une fois en possession de votre équipe, vous devrez apprendre à manager votre équipe. Un manager doit à la fois fixer les objectifs de ses coureurs, gérer leurs planning et leurs entraînements, dans le but d’obtenir des résultats satisfaisants pour les sponsors. Une gestion financière de l’équipe apparaît ensuite rapidement dans le jeu. La gestion du calendrier doit vous permettre d’anticiper les courses importantes, et de vous préparer pour les grands événements. Vous gérez à votre rythme l’avancée de votre saison.

Ce guide a pour but de vous aider à comprendre les principaux aspects du jeu, et de vous présenter les fonctionnalités essentielles pour être un manager efficace. Les catégories sont présentées par ordre d’apparition dans le jeu.

Which Riders Didn’t Make the Cut for the 2024 Tour de France?

Here are eight notable riders who will miss this year’s race, from Sepp Kuss to Julian Alaphilippe, and the strategic or unfortunate reasons behind their exclusions.

And it’s become harder than it once was: starting in 2018, grand tour rosters were cut from nine riders to eight. For some teams, the impact was minimal, but for others–especially teams with multiple leaders and/or goals–it caused headaches. Coupled with the fact that riders get sick, hurt, and just plain slow down, one can easily understand the delicate balancing act that team directors face when reconciling egos with aspirations–including the expectations of sponsors and fans.

This year’s Tour was no different, with several riders being left home as rosters were announced in the week leading up to this weekend’s Italian “Grand Depart.”

Here’s a rundown of eight riders who–for various reasons–won’t be riding the 2024 Tour de France:

Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-Quick Step)

France’s Julian Alaphippe won six stages at the Tour de France from 2018 to 2021 and famously wore the yellow jersey for 14 days in 2019, ultimately finishing fifth overall. But it’s since been a rough couple of years for the former two-time world champion, thanks in part to a crash at Liège–Bastogne–Liège in 2022 that left him with two broken ribs, a broken scapula and a collapsed lung. After missing the race in 2022, the Frenchman returned to last year’s Tour de France, but was clearly a step or two below where he once was–much to the dismay of his team’s general manager, Patrick Lefevere.

However, things seem to be looking up for the 32-year-old. In May, he took a fantastic stage win at the Giro d’Italia in a ride that called to mind his glory years. But with his team going all-in on Belgian Remco Evenepoel’s bid for a podium finish at the Tour de France, there was no place for the Frenchman.

Chris Froome (Premier Tech)

Four-time winner Chris Froome will not be competing at the Tour de France for the second year in a row. And while it’s sad to see the 39-year-old on the outside looking in, it makes sense: Israel-PremierTech has won three stages in the last two Tours de France and seems to have found a winning formula by coming to the Tour de France with a roster filled with versatile opportunists who can win stages on all sorts of terrain.

And the Briton has done little to earn a spot on the team’s eight-man roster. He’s barely raced this season (or last season, for that matter), and when he has, he’s never come close to the top of the results. Froome’s story seems to epitomize the fragile nature of professional sports stardom: one minute, you’re on the top of your game, and before you know it, you’re an afterthought.

Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates)

American Brandon McNulty raced the Tour de France in support of Tadej Pogačar in 2021 and 2022. Still, the 26-year-old will miss the French grand tour for the second year in a row after the team stacked its roster with three of the team’s other grand tour contenders who will support the Slovenian in his bid to win the Tour de France less than two months after winning the Giro d’Italia.

Missing the Tour again has to be a disappointment for the American, who’s won seven races so far in 2024 and seems to be getting better each season. He’ll likely use the time to prepare for the upcoming Olympic Games, where he’ll shoot for a medal in the individual time trial.

Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quick-Step)

Another casualty of Soudal-Quick Step’s bid to put Evenepoel on the Tour de France podium, Merlier–who won a stage with Alpecin-Fenix in 2021 and three stages at the Giro d’Italia this spring–will miss the French grand tour for the third year in a row. It’s likely that the team was clear with the Belgian that this could be the case when they signed him prior to last season, but it’s an omission worth keeping in mind as we all watch Evenepoel try and become the first Belgian to win the Tour since 1976.

Stage wins are valuable commodities at the Tour de France, but leaving someone like Merlier home is a calculated risk that teams like Soudal-Quick Step feel they must take to finish on the final podium. But if Evenepoel falters–and Quick-Step goes winless at the Tour for the first time since the late 90s–the team’s critics will be justified in asking why the Belgian sprinter was left at home.

Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike)

Kuss was expected to be Jonas Vingegaard’s top lieutenant again at this year’s Tour de France. And with Visma-Lease a Bike besieged by injuries heading into the Tour–including those sustained by Vingegaard himself in a crash at the Tour of the Basque Country in early April–the team needed all the help it could get heading into the Tour.

Well, things went from bad to worse after Kuss–who won last year’s Vuelta a España–abandoned the Critérium du Dauphiné with a cold and then two weeks later was ruled out of the Tour de France after testing positive for COVID-19. It’s a sad turn of events for a rider who played a central role in each of the team’s seven grand tour victories, and hopefully, the 29-year-old can recover in time to prepare to defend his title at the Tour of Spain later in the summer.

Daniel Martínez (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe)

Martínez took second at the recent Giro d’Italia–the best grand tour finish of the 28-year-old Colombian’s career–but was still left off the Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe roster for the Tour de France. That says less about Martínez than it does about the depth of the German team, which has the luxury of heading to the Tour with Slovenia’s Primož Roglič leading the team and a former Giro d’Italia champion in Australia’s Jai Hindley and the sixth-place finisher at the recent Critérium du Dauphiné, Russia’s Aleksandr Vlasov supporting him.

If it’s any consolation, missing the Tour puts Martínez in the driver’s seat to lead the team at the Vuelta a España–assuming everyone else buries themselves to help Roglič win the Tour.

Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale)

O’Connor’s been featured in the first two seasons of the Netflix docuseries Tour de France: Unchained –and the producers haven’t always cast him in the best light. Sensitive, explosive, and sometimes downright bratty, he was a hard rider to like for most of the series–at least until the second half of the second season, in which he finally stopped thinking of himself as a GC rider and instead starting racing to win stages–either for himself or on behalf of his teammates.

But the 28-year-old–who won a stage and finished fourth overall at the Tour de France in 2021–won’t be riding the French grand tour this year after leading the team at the Giro d’Italia this spring. Taking a break from the Tour de France pressure cooker was obviously the right move for the Australian: he finished fourth overall at the Italian grand tour, no doubt increasing his value heading into the off-season. At that point, he’ll be free to sign with another team.

Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek)

In the last two years, Milan has won four stages and twice won the Points Competition at the Giro d’Italia, which might lead some to think he’s ready to try his hand at winning field sprints at the Tour de France. Well, those folks obviously don’t run the show at Lidl-Trek because the team is waiting at least another year before sending him to the Tour–most likely so he can spend time preparing to win a gold medal on the track at the Summer Olympics.

Since getting hooked on pro cycling while watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship in Philadelphia, longtime Bicycling contributor Whit Yost has raced on Belgian cobbles, helped build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux as an assistant director sportif. These days, he lives with his wife and son in Pennsylvania, spending his days serving as an assistant middle school principal and his nights playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Tour de France

Tales of the unexpected: how italy’s tour champions overcame the odds , in this second “tales of the unexpected,” john wilcockson tells the startling stories of italy’s tour de france winners, including the three being honored at this year’s opening stages..

When the peloton flowed through the streets of Florence to start stage 1 of the 111th Tour de France on Saturday it passed within a mile of Ponte a Ema, home to the late Gino Bartali ; over the weekend, the race also visited the places where Marco Pantani lived, trained and died; and on Monday the riders contest a KOM climb in the town where Fausto Coppi met his premature death. All three of these iconic Italian bike racers are among the seven that have conquered the Tour—mostly in unusual circumstances.

Bartali was the second Italian to win the Tour, in 1938, a decade after the first one, Ottavio Bottecchia. While Bottecchia’s tragic life kicked off these “Tales of the Unexpected,” Bartali’s story and those of Italy’s other Tour champions were also filled with shock and controversy.

Curiously, like Bottecchia, whose mysterious death in 1927 happened only days after his younger brother was killed, Bartali also lost his brother in a bicycle accident. Nineteen-year-old Giulio Bartali crashed into a car on a wet descent at the Young Tuscan Fascists Championship on June 14, 1936, one week after his big brother had won the Giro d’Italia for the first time. When Giulio died in Gino’s arms two days later from an alleged brain surgery error, Bartali said he wouldn’t race again.

He eventually changed his mind, returning to the peloton before the end of that season and said he’d seek a second victory at the Giro to dedicate to his brother. Although an “alarming” case of bronchial pneumonia stunted his pre-race training, Bartali duly won the 1937 Giro. But he didn’t feel his health was good enough to contest his first Tour de France even though the Italian Olympic committee named him as leader of the 10-man Italy national squad at the Tour. After Bartali rebuffed the invitation, he was sent a telegram threatening to have his racing license withdrawn and to suspend him for insubordination.

More pressure came when the president of the national cycling federation, General Francesco Antonelli, a fascist, said that an Italian winner of the Tour de France would prove “the superiority of the Italian race,” while the country’s dictator, Benito Mussolini, stated that winning the Tour would make Bartali a legend. With such pressure, he was forced to ride that 1937 Tour.

A week into the race, Bartali looked set to become the first rider to complete the Giro-Tour double when he succeeded with a solo break over the Galibier on stage 7 to take the yellow jersey. The next day, however, a teammate knocked into him and Bartali fell over a bridge parapet into a creek. He lost nine minutes by stage end but kept the overall lead. Was that the end of his bid for victory? It should have been, but a few years later, Bartali told his biographer Pino Ricci: “When the doctor didn’t want me to continue, they [the fascists] made me continue; when I should have withdrawn, they made me race; when, after four difficult stages, I was getting better, they sent me home.”

Because of his “failure” to win the Tour, the regime decided that Bartali couldn’t tackle two grand tours in one season, so they barred him from the 1938 Giro to focus on the Tour—and Bartali duly won with a dominating performance in the Alps. When his fans mobbed him after he won stage 14 into Briançon (and pushed his overall lead to 20 minutes), a jubilant Colonel Antonelli, the federation boss, cried out, “Don’t touch him, he’s a god!”

The story of Bartali is inextricably connected to that of the third Italian Tour winner, Fausto Coppi. After Bartali had seen how strong a youthful Coppi was in a joint breakaway at the 1939 Tour of Piedmont, he insisted that his Legnano team sign the 20-year-old to his first pro contract. The rookie began the 1940 Giro as Bartali’s domestique; but when Bartali banged up his knee in a crash trying to avoid hitting a dog on stage 2, Coppi was given the team leadership. And he went on to win the Giro, while Bartali was content to recover his health and win a couple of mountain stages in the final week.

During the war years that followed, Bartali conducted his secret (now celebrated) bicycle courier work for the Catholic church, helping threatened Jewish families in Mussolini’s antisemitic Italy, by transporting messages in the seat post and stem of his bike, while Coppi was taken by the allies as a prisoner of war in the North Africa campaign.

After the war, Coppi and Bartali were fierce rivals on different trade teams. At the 1946 Giro, Bartali won ahead of Coppi, while their positions were reversed the next year. And at the 1948 Giro, they marked each other so closely they neutralized their bids for victory. Bartali was then selected as sole leader of Italy’s national team at the Tour. “Bartali’s presence is enough,” Coppi said. “It’s pointless for two champion to race each other on foreign territory.” And Bartali duly slaughtered the opposition, winning all five mountain stages along with two others, to take his second Tour.

When Coppi then humiliated Bartali at the 1949 Giro—emphasized by his 190-kilometer solo break on the 17th stage to finish the race 22 minutes ahead of Bartali—there was a call for him to ride his first Tour. Coppi said he would race in France if Bartali wasn’t on the team. That caused a national scandal, and it took several meetings with team manager Alfredo Binda before both men agreed to sign a document detailing their “rights and duties.”

That agreement seemed moot on stage 5 of the Tour when Coppi helped create a strong breakaway group and became the victim of a crash caused when the rider next to him tried to grab a beer from a female spectator. Coppi’s bike was damaged, yet despite the break having a six-minute lead the Italy team car driven by Binda was still behind the peloton. The neutral service bike he was given was the wrong size and he had to wait for Binda. Coppi was both furious and demoralized, soft-pealed the rest of the day, finished 18 minutes down, and said he was quitting the Tour.

That might have been the end of Coppi’s first Tour. Instead, Binda persuaded him to continue; two days later, he won a 92-kilometer time trial by a wide margin; and in the final week, he and Bartali came together to dominate the alpine stages and propel Coppi to overall victory. He couldn’t defend his title after he crashed in the 1950 Giro and suffered a triple fracture of his pelvis. His misfortune continued in 1951 when he broke his clavicle early in the season and returned to racing only a week before the Giro, which he finished in fourth place. Needing better form, he raced in the Tour of Piedmont classic alongside his younger brother Serse. On the streets of Turin, heading to the finish, Serse Coppi caught his wheel in the tramlines and crashed heavily. Complaining of a headache at the team hotel, he was taken to the hospital, where, in Fausto’s arms, Serse died from concussion.

The Tour was due to start five days later. Grieving over his loss, Coppi told the press: “I’m giving up the Tour and will probably give up cycling.” But like Bartali, when his brother died, Coppi changed his mind, saying, “I’ve decided to ride the Tour because it will take my mind off what happened…and because it’s my duty as a pro racer.” Understandably. Coppi didn’t have a great Tour. He suffered in the heat on the stage to Montpellier in the South of France, losing half an hour; recovered to win a stage in the Alps; and finished 10th overall. Coppi was back to his best in 1952 and again completed the Giro-Tour double, this time winning all the Tour’s first mountaintop stage finishes at L’Alpe d’Huez, Sestriere and the Puy de Dôme.

The stories of the more recent Tour champions from Italy may be not as compelling as those of the original three, but all of their victories included unexpected elements. The year that Gastone Nencini won the Tour, 1960, began with the sudden death of Fausto Coppi from a malarial infection. Coppi was still an active racer and when Nencini first emerged as a grand tour challenger, in 1955, both Coppi and Nencini finished on the Giro podium. Nencini went on to win the 1957 Giro (partly thanks to an intense rivalry between French star Louison Bobet and Luxembourg climber Charly Gaul), but he was regarded as just a top-10 regular at the Tour.

Nencini was age 30 when he rode the 1960 Tour as part of a 14-man Italy national team. He became a yellow jersey contender when an epic four-man breakaway on stage 6 across Brittany from Saint-Malo to Lorient with Roger Rivière of France, Hans Junkermann of Germany and Jan Adriaenssens of Belgium finished a quarter hour ahead of the peloton. It was clear that one of the four would win the Tour. The favorite was Rivière, the world’s best time trialist, who was predicted to obliterate the opposition in an 83-kilometer TT, two days from the finish. But on stage 14 through the Massif Central, when Rivière was following intrepid descender Nencini down the Col de Perjuret, the Frenchman missed a turn, fell into a ravine and fractured vertebrae that prevented him ever racing again. Nencini went on to victory.

As for Felice Gimondi, the 1965 Tour winner, he wasn’t even supposed to start that race. He was a first-year pro with no victories and had already ridden the Giro, placing third to Salvarani team leader Vittorio Adorni. But at the last minute one of the Salvarani riders, Bruno Fantinato, injured a knee and Gimondi was summoned to the start in Cologne. Then, somewhat like Bottecchia showing up as a rookie in Paris, Gimondi won an early stage and wore the yellow jersey for 19 stages—finally defeating the favored Raymond Poulidor by acing two late time trials.

There was a 33-year hiatus before the next Italian winner, Marco Pantani, in 1998. That was the Tour that almost was not completed because of repeated doping violations that included the then world No. 1-ranked Festina team being thrown out of the race and six other teams withdrawing to protest police raids on team hotels in search of banned drugs. The big favorite was the defending champion Jan Ullrich, while Pantani, who’d won the Giro a month earlier thanks to his climbing strength, was regarded as a longshot, more likely to shoot for stage wins in the mountains than challenge for the yellow jersey—especially after he placed 181st in the first day’s prologue time trial and 33rd in the stage 7 TT, four minutes slower than Ullrich. So, it was most unexpected when Pantani got stronger in the final week and defeated Ullrich in a blistering solo break over the Galibier to Les Deux-Alpes. Pantani was excluded from the following year’s Giro for an over-the limit hematocrit blood test and was later proven to be a user of EPO, the same as Ullrich, who has admitted as much.

So, we come to the unexpected victory of Vincenzo Nibali at the 2014 Tour. That year’s two big favorites were defending champion Chris Froome and former winner Alberto Contador—who was said to be in the form of his life. Nibali scored a typical opportunistic win on stage 2 in England to take the yellow jersey by two seconds. And he raced brilliantly on a wet stage over Paris-Roubaix cobbles to keep his lead; but Froome pulled out of the race that day after crashing twice, and five stages later, before the Alps, Contador crashed on a descent and fractured his tibia. This left Nibali with no true challengers, and he ran out an easy winner.

Although this Tour’s opening weekend of racing in Italy has been fascinating, producing two French stage victories, there is only one Italian in the first 60 on GC. That’s 10th placed Giulio Ciccone, 29, who has ridden three previous Tours, placing 31st, 58th and 32nd. So, if there is to be a successor to Nibali any time soon, it would be more than unexpected. It would be a shock.

Tour de France : la victoire de la donnée

La plus grande course de vélo du monde se vit (aussi) en mode connecté. Jumeaux numérique, IA, jeux vidéo, c'est le Tour 2.0. Pour « La Story », le podcast d'actualité des « Echos », Pierrick Fay et ses invités racontent comment les données numériques changent la vision du Tour de France.

Comment vous abonner à La Story ?

Le tour de France en termine avec sa première semaine. Une semaine riche déjà en émotion avec les deux victoires françaises lors des deux premières étapes (dont un maillot jaune pour Romain Bardet), avec la 35e victoire d'étape de Mark Cavendish (battant ainsi le record d'Eddy Merckx) et le duel très attendu entre Pogacar et Vingegaard qui devrait tenir toutes ses promesses.

Mais le Tour de France, ce n'est pas seulement la plus grande course cycliste du monde, ce n'est pas seulement une terre d'exploit pour ceux qu'on nomme « les forçats de la route ». C'est aussi un lieu d'exploration pour les entreprises de technologie. Le japonais NTT Data a ainsi noué, depuis quelques années, un partenariat avec ASO (l'organisateur de l'événement) pour analyser et exploiter les millions de données générées chaque année par le Tour (masculin, mais aussi féminin). En 2022, ils ont notamment créé un jumeau numérique du Tour de France. L'an dernier, ils ont mis au point un assistant IA, disponible notamment dans les zones VIP des villages de la course, pour répondre aux questions posées par les fans sur les différentes plateformes numériques du Tour de France.

NTT Data a aussi créé une Fantasy League , où les joueurs peuvent tester leur compétence en sélectionnant une équipe pour battre le pronostiqueur de NTT Data. Ce dernier exploite les milliers de données renvoyées par les capteurs posés notamment sur les vélos.

Directeur sportif d'une équipe

Les fans de vélo peuvent donc suivre la course dans la course. Mais ils peuvent aussi s'amuser à devenir manager d'une équipe, grâce à un jeu vidéo : Pro Cycling Manager , qui fête sa 24e édition (le jeu est sorti en 2001 pour la première fois). Un jeu développé par le studio français Cyanide et qui capitalise depuis quelques années sur le Tour de France. Chaque année, les développeurs suivent les évolutions au sein du peloton et façonnent le jeu en fonction du parcours. Un travail précis, dans un temps record. Une autre façon de suivre la course cycliste la plus populaire du monde.

“Racing intelligently or not, it’s a nonsense. You need to have the best legs to win the Tour”: Tadej Pogačar weighs in on Jonas Vingegaard ‘wheel sucking’ discourse
From cycle racks and homes to bike shops and cycling events, the UK’s bike theft epidemic continues

Over the years, cyclists and cycling campaigners have been described in many, often extremely unflattering ways by motorist angry at them for the simple crime of riding on the road or calling for the introduction of safe, protected cycle infrastructure.

So it’s fair to say we’re well used to it by now.

But you know things are starting to get a bit heated and tetchy in the local council chamber when politicians start slinging phrases like ‘the Active Travel Taliban’ about. Yes, really.

That particularly colourful metaphor was the brainchild of Wirral Council Conservative leader Jeff Green, who this week branded the Labour-run local authority’s plans for a continuous protected cycle lane connecting Birkenhead and Liscard as “bonkers”.

The proposed 3.5-mile new cycle lane, which forms phase one of a wider active travel project hoping to link Birkenhead to New Brighton, will, says Wirral Council, “make streets safer for local people and provide high quality facilities for pedestrians and cyclists”, tying into a broader regeneration scheme and helping “deliver a sustainable left bank of the Mersey which includes increased levels of journeys being undertaken by active modes as a key part of the vision”.

Funded by active travel grants awarded to the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, a recent Wirral Council environment committee report said that the scheme needed to be delivered between 2027 and 2032, or Wirral could face “losing out on a significant funding opportunity”.

However, speaking after the council’s latest consultation on the project this week, Wirral Conservative leader Jeff Green claimed that the “majority” of residents were “against the scheme”, the Wirral Globe reports.

“In February, I was invited by Cllr. Ian Lewis to meet with him, and the Leader of the Council, and the RNIB and hear their concerns over this proposal,” Green said. “It was clear then that the proposals for so-called floating bus stops and sharing the pedestrianised Liscard Precinct with cyclists is a recipe for disaster.

“Following complaints from local councillors, the Town Hall was forced to re-run the consultation and the results are, frankly, damning.

“The views of residents are clear – this is a monumental waste of taxes. A scheme that does not command the support a majority of the people most affected is not, in my view, viable. Wirral Council does not ‘know best’ – we exist to serve our residents.

“And in spite of the ‘Active Travel Taliban’, residents remain opposed to the loss of parking, pedestrian crossings, and trees that this scheme would require.”

Alright Jeff, tell us what you really think.

> On your bike! How did the politicians who made questionable comments about cycling get on at the general election?

Meanwhile, Green’s Conservative colleague Lesley Rennie said the cycle lane “will be a disaster for residents and all road users”.

I think it’s fair to say that Green’s attempt to compare people who want to travel safely on their bikes to Afghanistan’s currently internationally unrecognised government has gone down well on social media…

As local Tories rally YET AGAIN to block/delay local active travel infrastructure, I'm reminded of this key point 💚 https://t.co/CaEXW5n7vI — Cllr Ed Lamb (@edwardlamb) July 9, 2024

“More examples of the Tories being wildly out of touch with reality... ‘the active travel Taliban’?” wrote cycling campaigner Ben on X.

“Active Travel Taliban... haha... I mean, at this point all you can do is laugh and try to move on. There’s no rational discussion to be had,” added Mounsey, who also suggested that Green’s slogan could be used as part of a (frankly ill-advised) T-shirt campaign…

Responding to the local Tory leader’s comments, Ed Lamb, a Green Party councillor for the Wirral, wrote: “As I’ve said at a couple of recent talks, some elected folks just do not ever want this stuff to happen – even if they have voted otherwise in the past!

“They are not serious about regeneration, health, climate, and we are allowed to ignore them.

“On Wirral there is no overall control. Tories often hold a lot of sway on committee items. This one? Let’s hope not…”

This afternoon, the new Labour government unveiled its ministerial appointments at the Department for Transport. And I must say, I’m intrigued by the ‘Future of Roads’ position…

We’re pleased to confirm new Ministerial briefs at the Department for Transport: @LouHaigh - Secretary of State @LordPeterHendy - Rail @LilianGreenwood - Future of Roads @simonlightwood - Local Transport @MikeKaneMP - Aviation, Maritime and Security pic.twitter.com/qiWY4DiTeK — Department for Transport (@transportgovuk) July 10, 2024

And while the DfT’s new intake have been careful not to utter the words ‘cycling’ or ‘walking’ just yet, Cycling UK welcomed the appointments, which they believe will mark a “step change” for active travel.

“It’s great to hear the new government wants to prioritise greener transport and better integrated transport networks as it seeks to ‘move fast and fix things’,” Sarah McMonagle, director of external affairs at Cycling UK, said today.

> Labour Transport Secretary says "move fast and fix things" is Department for Transport's new motto, although no explicit mention of active travel in latest interview

“With the new ministerial team at the Department for Transport now in place, we’re feeling optimistic that this will mark a step change in rhetoric, policy and funding for cycling and walking.

“Earlier this year, we had a very encouraging meeting with the new Secretary of State Louise Haigh who visited our DfT-funded e-bike project, Making cycling e-asier, in Sheffield. We’ve also met new Minister Simon Lightwood who held the shadow active travel brief in the last parliament. Simon also used to work in the NHS and was a cabinet member for public health, so will be well placed to ensure transport policy plays its part in prevention.

“The ministerial team also includes Lilian Greenwood and Mike Kane, who we know are keen cyclists and understand the challenges that can face people who cycle and those who want to cycle more. We look forward to working with the new ministerial team at DfT and their officials to ensure we realise the benefits of cycling, particularly the health benefits – a key Labour mission.”

It’s fitting that just down the road from the Puy de Dôme, where that iconic photo of Jacques Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor, riding shoulder to shoulder on the climb’s savage slopes, was taken 60 years ago, the era-defining riders of the 2020s produced their own iconic image, one that may well encapsulate not only this year’s Tour de France, but also – perhaps – their entire careers.

On the tough drag to the finish in Le Lioran, Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar sprinted side by side, way ahead of the rest, their faces contorted in pain, throwing their bikes at the line in unison, separated by the faintest of margins.

Jonas Vingegaard beats Tadej Pogačar, stage 11, 2024 Tour de France (ASO)

And just like that historic day back in 1964, the momentum of the race suddenly shifted.

Because, in what could prove a key psychological blow for the rest of this most exhilarating of grand tours, yellow jersey Pogačar – an expert in two-up sprints, with a perfect record in the discipline at the Tour – was beaten.

Vingegaard, after three months of recovery and turmoil, is back to winning ways. And, despite the prognosis of almost everyone in cycling just a matter of weeks ago, he looks like he can win his third straight Tour de France.

Is there room for this in the history books? 🤩 Y'a-t-il de la place pour cela dans les livres d’histoire ? 🤩 #TDF2024 pic.twitter.com/ONC6pFOiHL — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 10, 2024

30km back down the road, however, it all looked so different.

Pogačar, after instructing his team to ride aggressively all day on the lumpy, taxing roads of the Massif Central, had flown on the Puy Mary, a swaggering image of verve and panache. His Danish rival didn’t, and almost certainly couldn’t, respond.

But at the bottom of the following climb, the Col de Pertus, Vingegaard found his old, pre-crash self, dropping Roglič and bridging across to the yellow jersey, who suddenly looked panicked, devoid of confidence.

Pogačar won the sprint for bonus seconds on the Pertus, but even that seemed perfunctory – the momentum had clearly shifted in the Dane’s favour.

Stalemate followed, as grand tour racing’s Big Four engaged in a two-up time trial to the finish, interrupted only by Roglič’s late crash on the tricky, fast run-in, as Remco Evenepoel – as Remco Evenepoel does so well – limited his losses to just 25 seconds.

In the sprint, the script UAE had crafted for over 180km today was ripped up completely. Vingegaard launched, tentatively. Pogačar was even more stuttering in following, the Slovenian uncharacteristically rising and slumping into his saddle repeatedly, as he strained to draw level with the Visma-Lease a Bike leader, who had enough in the tank to throw his bike, victoriously, at the line.

A sporting handshake later, and an acknowledgement: the battle for yellow is on.

Sporting rivalry at its peak 🙌 #TDF2024 pic.twitter.com/Sd3wuxg2Lg — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 10, 2024

“It’s very emotional for me, coming back from the crash,” Vingegaard said, fighting back the tears, at the finish.

“It means a lot, all the things I went through in the last three months – yeah, it makes you think of that. I would never have been able to do this without my family. I’m just happy to be here, it means so much to win a stage, especially to win it for my family, who supported me the whole time.

“I couldn’t follow his attack, it was very strong. I just had to fight, and I didn’t think I’d make it back. But I made it back, and started relaying with him – and I was surprised I could beat him in the sprint.

“It means so much to me. I’m so happy. I would never have thought this three months ago.”

Jonas Vingegaard started today’s stage 1.15 down on Tadej Pogačar. He’s now 1.14 behind his career-defining rival.

Every second counts, they say. And, as the narrative of this 2024 Tour de France shifts dramatically, that single second gained in Le Lorian could count more than any in Vingegaard’s entire Tour career.

Jonas Vingegaard is banishing any doubts over his post-crash form and fitness, isn’t he? The Dane, after failing to follow the classic Pogačar attack on the Puy Mary, rode a perfectly calculated Col de Pertus, the day’s penultimate climb, to drop Roglič and bridge an almost 30-second gap to the yellow jersey, who duly outsprinted him for the eight-second bonus.

One Cat 3 climb to go, and the Tour de France’s Big Two of the 2020s are together at the front of the race, as the stage, and GC, hangs perfectly in the balance. Have I said how this great this race is yet?

2023 Tour of Britain stage seven (Simon Wilkinson/SWpix.com)

British team Saint Piran have described this afternoon’s unveiling of most of the stages of the revamped 2024 Tour of Britain as “incredible news and a huge statement on the health of the British cycling scene”.

This year’s Lloyd’s Bank Tour of Britain, the 20th edition of the race in its modern format and the first since the demise of previous organisers SweetSpot, will take place between Tuesday 3 September and Sunday 9 September in a new shortened six-day format, new organisers British Cycling announced today.

The opening stage will see the race return to the Scottish Borders, starting and finishing in the cobbled market square of Kelso, with a circuit finish.

The race then crosses into England for stage two in the Tees Valley, from Darlington to Redcar, which will take in the popular Saltburn Bank climb before finishing on the seafront.

The Tour will return to South Yorkshire for the first time since 2007 on stage three, starting in Sheffield and finishing in Barnsley, while the details of stage four will be announced over the next month.

The penultimate stage, meanwhile, will start and finish in Northampton which has hosted two stages of the Tour of Britain Women in the past.

Starting from the promenade in Lowestoft, the final stage on the Sunday will take in roads regularly used on the Tour over the last two decades, finishing in Felixstowe, where Wout van Aert won last year.

(Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com)

Unveiling the stage details, British Cycling Events Managing Director, Jonathan Day, said: “We’re delighted to be bringing top-level racing and the joy of cycling to communities across the country in September, with six stages to showcase the very best of Britain’s character and terrain.

“We’re enormously thankful to the local partners who are supporting the delivery of this year’s race, as we look to build on the momentum of June’s successful Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Women. I’ve no doubt that their communities will be out in force to welcome the riders, and make it another memorable week of racing to cap off a huge summer of cycling.”

Meanwhile, one of the local teams that hopes to light up the racing in September, Saint Piran, welcomed today’s “incredible news”, which it believes will provide a welcome boost to Britain’s flailing cycling scene.

(SWpix.com/Simon Wilkinson)

“This is incredible news and a huge statement on the health of the British cycling scene,” Saint Piran owner Richard Pascoe said today.

“Jon Dutton and his team at British Cycling have moved heaven and earth to save the Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men. Millions of cyclists and cycling fans across the world will breathe a huge sigh of relief that we have established both a women’s and men’s Tour going forward.

“Over 31 million people watched last year’s race on TV with over a million by the roadside. This event is part of what is an epic summer of sport alongside Wimbledon, the Euros, and the Olympics and the more companies that understand its impact, the more partners cycling can bring on board.

“If the media, teams and riders work together we can make it even better than last year and continue to build a strong UK cycling infrastructure!”

He never stops, does he?

Towards the top of the brutally steep Pas de Peyrol, after his UAE team had destroyed the lead group, yellow jersey Tadej Pogačar did what he does best and attacked, 31km from today’s finish in Le Lioran.

Jonas Vingegaard and an increasingly strong Primož Roglič couldn’t match the race leader’s acceleration, though so far are keeping him within touching distance on the rapid descent into the next climb (though Vingegaard briefly dropped his teammate on the climb).

Remco Evenepoel, meanwhile, appeared to struggle for the first time at this Tour, and is currently 40 seconds down on the flying Slovenian – who just had his own hairy moment on a corner, which proves that nothing is ever written in stone at the Tour.

On what was earmarked as a breakaway day, we have a GC battle on our hands!

Wout van Aert there, keeping everything safe for his Visma team leader Jonas Vingegaard heading into the crucial final climbs of today’s stage… by overcooking a bend and riding into a barrier:

💥¡Caída de Wout van Aert a 45 kilómetros! #TDF2024 El belga cayó en una curva en la que se subió a la acera. #TourRTVE10j El primer coche de Visma tuvo que seguir con el resto del equipo y no pudo detenerse. 📺Sigue la etapa en Teledeporte y RTVE Play. https://t.co/429BjSP6Hl pic.twitter.com/01ht2CUd6w — Teledeporte (@teledeporte) July 10, 2024

Ouch. Decent save though, as that could have been a whole lot worse.

After WVA’s ill-judged corner, UAE Team Emirates have now taken control (safely) on the Pas de Peyrol, as the remnants of the early breakaway Oier Lazkano, Ben Healy, and Richard Carapaz now appear doomed…

A cycling club ride leader has stressed the importance of cyclists running cameras on the road after being told that police were unable to investigate a series of “intimidating” incidents involving the same driver across multiple days in the same small village.

Sean Price, a lifetime member of Westbury Wheelers Cycling Club, claims the club’s rides have been targeted numerous times by the driver, who has passed the group too closely and shouted abuse on more than one occasion.

Are people who want safe cycle lanes the “Active Travel Taliban”? One local Conservative leader thinks so,..... – but cyclists say he’s “wildly out of touch with reality”

It would appear that not only must you have your morals and ethics surgically removed to be a member of the tories, you have to be so far out of touch that you're in an alternative reality, a dreamland of free running cars. Maybe their comments were made before the recent elections, the worst ever for the tories, lost because they have no morals, ethics and are so completely out of touch, so hopefully, these local tories will observe and learn. Maybe their morals and ethics could be restored by the NHS, but the waiting list must be huge.

Reminds me of this

Until the majority of residents ride a bike on a regular basis, what the majority do or not want is irrelevant. Provision for (despised) minorities cannot be predicated on majority approval, as that would lead to majoritarian tyranny and not a broadly fair society.

Exactly. This is why accessibility often has to be legislated for as the majority don't have problems with e.g. using stairs.

Yes ... although that's an interesting example: actually stairs are a hazard for everyone . Plus mobility is often a continuum eg. my aged relatives can still use stairs but it's a bit more effort now. And "ability" is not yours - you can lose it at any time.

So it's usually a compromise - a fraction of people might see stairs as a shortcut. In general they are much more space/materials efficient than a ramp, cheaper/more reliable than a lift, safer/more convenient than a ladder/fireman's pole. And in many places we can't just build everything on one level.

I now think most people benefit (or at least aren't disadvantaged) by more accessible places - so then it's just down to cost / space (we have finite resources...)

There's often "hidden" benefits from providing for minorities too. Cycling infrastructure can be used by e-scooters etc. and as we know, the more people that use it means that the rest of the road is less congested. Ramps put in place for wheelchair users can also be handy for parents with pushchairs.

Quite. And one of the main beneficiaries of cycle infra (given it's done well and actually effects modal shift) are " drivers " (people walking / not in cars stand to benefit also - if it's not UK "shared use" stuff )!

I wish people at work would stop staring at their smartphones while using stairs. I might have to do some first aid. I try and concentrate, and I'm still not perfect. And stairs are the one thing as I get older that is starting to hurt a bit, just above the knee, only a little bit, but the burn is there. My eyes are getting more shit, but stairs are starting to hurt. Watching those younger bounding up two at a time...

According to Bill Bryson we prefer different height risers ascending and descending, and the general height of a step is a comprise between the two. An unhappy medium.

Also enjoyed Mr. Bryson on stairs (and almost everything) - as it were!

I would wager that more people might cycle if they didn't feel like drivers wanted to kill them on the regular. My partner is petrified of cycling on our roads. She loves cycling though. I'm not sure if I will want my kids cycling on the roads when they are a little older. I would if I knew it was remotely safe and that some sad prick wouldn't put a childs life in danger because they hate anyone on two wheels.

Yep. When I'm in Mallorca or Lanzarote on cycling holidays, it's amazing to see the number of people in normal clothes on more urban style bikes or e-bikes just enjoying a ride. I don't know for sure but I bet a number of them decided to give it a try on holiday because they say many others doing it safely.

Quote: “Racing intelligently or not, it’s a nonsense in cycling."

Wasn't deliberately not defending the yellow jersey and letting Carapaz have it on stage three, thereby avoiding all the drug tests, interviews and podium presentations incumbent upon the leader for a day, a perfect example of intelligent racing?

I'm pretty sure the "Taliban" comment would break the councillors' code of conduct.

It sounds like a good project. It's a shame the road.cc angle always has to be the negativity, with a view to engagement through winding us up.

The road.cc 'angle', particularly on the live blog, is mostly just trawling and regurgitating what's on other media outlets (in this case, the Wirral Globe), so if there's a negative focus, that's really just reflecting the outlook of the wider media landscape, and their drive to increase 'engagement' through contentiousness.

I know the bin laden family were known for civil engineering, and I think I remember that road building was Osama's in to Afghanistan, but I don't know if the Taliban are really big on road building let alone provision for active travel, especially for girls (and women in general). But it would appear the councillor knows better...

That was something I was wondering about too - along with his rather unfortunate surname as he's really not living up to those ideals.

Taliban are a bit mixed on this issue: they strongly approve of protective headgear but not hi-vis. Their approach to safety seems to focus on prayer, and as you say they're not really in favour of any mobility for about half the population.

On the plus side I'm not aware of them condemning cycling in general for cultural reasons, which puts them ahead of some UK politicians...

Which brand is the real winner of the Tour de France?

With the cycling race bringing in €150m annually, the aso is clearly the big winner when it comes to the tour. but who else gets bang for their buck .

Cycling’s most famous race remains a major branding opportunity for sponsors
Team sponsors pay for the potentially huge exposure on offer, but do race partners get the better deal?
LCL reportedly pays US$12m a year to sponsor the yellow jersey, less than the cost of a mid-tier team naming rights deal

The Tour de France is less a sporting event than a national celebration. For the French it is Wimbledon and The Open on steroids (touchy subject). The Tour is arguably the greatest single piece of sports marketing ever created and is even still, vaguely, selling L’Equipe – the successor to the original sports publication the race was established to boost circulation for in 1903.

While the Tour is a cash cow for the Amaury Sports Organisation (ASO) – more on the specifics of that later – it also sells France to the world. France’s regional ‘departments’ bid between €80,000 and €120,000 (US$86,000 and US$120,000) for significant parts of the race (stage starts or finishes), while the opening Grand Départ can cost millions of euros to host.

For your money you get a multi-hour rolling broadcast advert for your region and significant returns on that investment from race tourism. It is not just the French that see this benefit. Bilbao is reported to have spent €12.2 million (US$13.1 million) on hosting the opening stages of the 2023 Tour, with the Basque country claiming to have banked €104 million (US$112 million) in economic impact.

ASO is notoriously guarded with its finances, but recent estimates place revenues from the Tour at upwards of €150 million (US$162 million) annually and a healthy profit margin of 20 per cent . So the Amaury family is clearly the big winner when it comes to the Tour, but who else gets bang for their buck?

It certainly is not the teams taking part as a meagre prize pool of €2.3 million (US$2.4 million) is handed out for three weeks of effort, €500,000 (US$540,000) of which goes to the winner. Instead, teams rely on sponsors to fund this endeavour and it is here that returns seem more lucrative.

Typically title sponsors will fund around 70 per cent of an elite cycling team’s annual budget , which for bigger teams can be as much as €55 million (US$59.4 million). Therefore it is common for those naming rights to be split between a couple of brands – although state-backed outfits such as Tadej Pogacar’s UAE Team Emirates distort the market somewhat.

Let’s consider EF Education-EasyPost, a low-ranking team in terms of budget, with ProCycling pegging it at between €18 million and €22 million (US$19.4 million and (US$23.7 million) last year. Taking the upper limit and applying the 70 per cent estimate for title sponsor backing, that would put the joint commitment of the team’s two naming rights partners at €15.4 million (US$16.6 million). In return, EF-Education EasyPost manager Jonathan Vaughters says his team aims to provide a 10:1 ratio on sponsor investment in terms of advertising equivalency.

A study by Relo Metrics in 2020 found that visible sponsors get nearly 50,000 individual asset exposures during the Tour, while sponsorship data for the whole 2020 season reported by Velo put generated branding ad value for a main sponsor at €38 million (US$41 million), plus a further €67.4 million (US$72.8 million) in earned media from the primary naming rights position. Even taking those numbers with a pinch of salt, that is decent ROI for a brand investment when you consider the eyeballs on the Tour alone.

As detailed in our recently published Tour de France Tech Stack , the race’s host broadcaster, France Televisions (FTV), captures every single second of the race for transmission around the globe via a fleet of vans, motorbikes, drones and even helicopters in order to deliver the best shots possible.

Last year, FTV said its audience for the race totalled 42.5 million viewers , up 2.4 per cent year-over-year (YoY), with the average fan consuming five hours and 55 minutes of coverage. For the 2022 race, the Tour reported that audiences in markets covered by the EBU’s multi-territory rights deal accounted for more than 400 million hours of consumption and Eurosport’s total pay-TV reach was 37 million viewers. Overall ASO said the Tour reached 150 million viewers and had 715 million hours of live broadcast consumption across Europe that year. That is a lot of brand exposure time, before even considering social media.

Now we come to perhaps the smartest investment of the whole race. French banking brand LCL is reported to pay US$12 million a year to sponsor the leader’s yellow jersey, which is about 13.7 per cent of the race’s annual sponsorship revenue, according to GlobalData , or the equivalent cost of taking a solo mid-tier WorldTour team title sponsorship.

In terms of onsite activations LCL gets the most prestigious and widely viewed branded ceremony for every stage with the yellow jersey presentation, a top tier package for the Tour’s (in)famous publicity caravan and the positive association of being attached to the race leader.

But it is earned media that is the real cinch here. LCL takes the top asset position on the race leader’s kit every day. Relo Metrics says the branding on the side of the jersey and the rider’s back is most valuable during broadcast, which just happens to be exactly where the LCL logos are emblazoned on the yellow jersey during the race.

Relo Metrics’ study found a podium finish drove 20,000 exposures during a mountain stage, while a strong finish on a flat stage is around half that. Backing the leader guarantees that level of exposure for LCL almost daily, providing incredible value for that investment.

Perhaps, then, it is no surprise that the Crédit Agricole-owned bank has been a sponsor of the yellow jersey since 1987 and in 2023 extended that contract for another five years.

Technological and broadcast innovation has allowed the Tour de France to transform from a national obsession into a global phenomenon, read our Tech Stack on the biggest race in cycling to get the full picture .
