Tour de France starts in Belgium today with "yellow" Wout Van Aert as extra attraction in Binche

The Tour de France comes to Belgium today. The official start will be given in Binche (Hainaut province) at 15 minutes past noon. 

Binche, the carnival city that is the home of its renowned "Gilles", is hosting the Tour de France for the second time in 3 years. The 220 km stage will take the riders soon across the border with France, for a ride through the French Ardennes with a finish in Longwy. 

Tour de France was in Binche: taste the atmosphere in this video

This morning, many cycling fans seized the opportunity to visit the Tour. They have an extra attraction today, with Belgium's Wout Van Aert still in the Yellow Jersey as overall race leader. Van Aert managed to save the Yellow on the cobbles on northern France yesterday. "I didn't expect this during the race (when he was behind after a crash) but I will enjoy the stop in Belgium, of course," Van Aert told reporters. 

Wout Van Aert also possesses the Green Points Jersey as the best sprinter after second places in the first three stages. The Green Jersey was/is his main goal in this Tour de France. Antwerp resident Van Aert hopes to take the Green home after the final stage in Paris. 

The mayor of Binche Laurent Devin said that he hopes that the Flemish successes in the Tour (with stage wins for Yves Lampaert in the opening time trial and a stage win, the Yellow and Green for Van Aert later on) will also inspire Walloon youngsters to pick up cycling.

How to watch Tour de France stage 21: live stream the action

• Watch away from home
• US, Canada and Australia TV schedule
• Stage 21 route

We're into the final day of this year's race, so a Tour de France stage 21 live stream is going to be a hot ticket if you want to watch the riders make their final journey into Paris. The Tour de France is free-to-air on ITVX (UK) and SBS On-Demand (AUS) . Make sure you know how to watch for free with a VPN from anywhere .

The 2023 Tour de France is coming to an end and stage 21 is the final chance for the sprinters to battle it out on Paris' most famous avenue, the Champs Élysées. All of the jerseys are wrapped up so we should see the typical champagne-filled procession in and around Paris.

The final stage begins at the Velodrome de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines before setting off on the journey back into Paris where yellow jersey winner, Jonas Vingegaard, will no doubt enjoy some champagne on the road with his teammates. Once they hit the city, the peloton will pass the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre multiple times before the wind-up for the final sprint begins. Alpecin-Deceuninck have been the best leadout unit at the 2023 Tour, with Jasper Philipsen winning four flat sprints. The flying Belgian should have Mathieu van der Poel and co. working to bring him to the final trip up the Champs Élysées safely before he looks to win the final Tour stage for the second year running. Groenewegen was closest to him last year and will be one of the other sprinters left after a brutal Tour trying to dethrone the green jersey wearer. 

With one final stage remaining, it’s helpful to know there are plenty of channels around the world broadcasting Tour de France 2023 live streams to help you keep up with the last bit of action. Here's how to watch stage 21 of the Tour de France 2023 .

Tour de France stage 21: the route

Stage 21: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to Paris Champs-Élysées (Sunday, July 23) The final stage of the 2023 Tour de France is the typical processional stage in and around Paris. It starts at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome which will play host to the track cycling at next year's Olympic Games, before looping back east towards the French capital. The 115.1km route is incredibly flat and only has one category four climb, but that won't threaten Giulio Ciccone's lead of the polka-dot classification. It's all set for the sprinters' royale on the Champs-Élysées with the fast men and leadouts ready to fight for position and battle for the win after completing nine laps of the Parisian circuit. The long finishing road on Paris's most famous avenue has long played host to the final Tour and was last won by Jasper Philipsen, holder of the green jersey, who will be the favourite for the day.

1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service) 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad

Race preview

The herculean GC battle Tour de France between leader Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and second-placed Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) ended on stage 16 and 17 with the Dane first delivering a stunning blow in the time trial before a knockout punch on the Col de la Loze.

Vingegaard has a comfortable lead in the Tour de France GC standings of 7:29 on Pogačar, winner of stage 20 , and 10:56 on the Slovenian's teammate Adam Yates.

The penultimate stage delivered the final skirmish for riders fighting to move up in the top 10 of the general classification. Simon Yates  (Jayco-AlUla) moved up to fourth overall while Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers) lost one spot and is now in fifth place.  Meanwhile, Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) sealed the KOM classification.

All eyes now turn to the sprinters whose biggest day of the year is the finish on the Champs Elysées in Paris.

If you aren’t lucky enough to soon be like one of the fortunate people in the above image watching Tour de France at the roadside this July, then sitting in front of the television will have to do.

It’s a summer (sorry Aus) tradition. Lazily sitting in your living room at the weekends watching the kilometres tick by, while in the office during the week (at least in the pre-Covid days) becoming highly skilled at switching tabs away from your chosen streaming site back to your work whenever your boss walks by.

With the Tour de France beginning in Copenhagen on Friday, July 1 and finishing in Paris on Sunday, July 24, here’s how to watch the three weeks of racing wherever you are in the world.

How to watch the Tour de France in…

First off, the NBCSN cable channel is no more and the NBC Sports Gold Cycling Pass has been discontinued. Instead, NBC has rolled its cycling coverage into the Peacock streaming service. The good news is it only costs $4.99 month-to-month, meaning you can cancel it as soon as Tadej Pogačar crosses the finish line in Paris to claim his third yellow jersey in a row at a canter. Hurrah! Alternatively, FloBikes will also be broadcasting the Tour on their platform at a cost of $12.50 a month.

Live-streaming services aside, the race will still be broadcast on the NBC-owned CNBC and USA television channels.

Cycling fans down under will be able to watch live coverage on SBS, with replays of each day’s stage also available on SBS On Demand every day. Their full TV schedule for each stage can be found on their website . Just make sure you don’t wake the baby at 3 am when Ben O’Connor wins the Alpe d’Huez stage and storms into the yellow jersey.

UK viewers can watch Messrs Imlach, Boulting et al. on ITV4, with their daily highlights show also airing every evening. GCN/Eurosport will also have their coverage featuring Bradley Wiggins chasing the peloton on a motorbike, while Welsh viewers will be able to watch the race on S4C.

Viewing on ITV, both on your physical television and via the magic-ness of online streaming, is free, as long as you can remember your ITV Hub password. Meanwhile, GCN+ costs £6.99 a month or £39.99 when you pay annually, with no ad breaks, while the same coverage will be broadcast on Eurosport’s freeview television channel.

Not sure what the situation is to be perfectly honest, but if you find yourself in the Bahamas then you don’t really have anything to complain about.

The aforementioned FloBikes will broadcast the 2022 Tour de France in Canada, eh. Come on Woodsy!

New Zealand

Sky Sport will likely be showing the Tour de France in New Zealand. The cable service costs NZ$26 per month and an extra NZ$32 per month on top for the Sky Sport package that you’ll need to watch the Tour. Worth it just to see Shane Archbold’s mullet though am I right?

Other territories

GCN+ will only be showing the Tour de France in Europe and Asia-Pacific, excluding Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan. Here is a rundown of where you can find Tour de France coverage in other territories.

• Belgium (Walloon) – RTBF (digital)
• Belgium (Flemish) – VRT één
• China – Zhibo tv
• Colombia – CaracoITV
• Czech Republic – Čzeská Televize

How to watch Tour de France live stream — 2023 stages and schedule

The world’s greatest cycle race is underway!

Watch Tour de France: live streams

Watch tour de france 2023: preview.

This year’s Tour de France is less ‘La Grande Boucle’ (The Big Loop) and more a giant belt around the country’s waist. Riding west to east the ‘Grand Depart’ took place outside France for the second year in a row across the border in the Basque Country in northern Spain. Make sure you know how to watch a Tour de France free live stream from anywhere.

From here the race is headed west through the Pyrenees across legendary mountains such as the Col du Soudet and the mighty Col du Tourmalet before heading to the Massif Central and a return to the iconic Puy de Dome. Not climbed since 1988 this dormant volcano will provide a spectacular arena for the culmination of stage 9 and the end of the long first week.

Continuing west to The Jura mountains there is a summit finish on top of the Grand Colombier and then two days later another summit finish in the Alps at Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc. With just one time trial on the route: a 22km mainly uphill test on stage 16. This is without doubt a race for the climbers whose battles will finish in the forested peaks of The Vosges on the slopes of the evil Col du Platzerwasel.

As for the contenders, the two main protagonists, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vinegaard (Jumbo-Visma) are on paper so far ahead of anyone else that the rest appear to be just support actors.

Vinegaard’s dominant display at the recent Critérium du Dauphiné, where he won at a canter, suggests he is in the same sparkling form that saw him take last year’s race but the condition of his great rival Pogačar is not so certain.

The Slovenian he hasn’t raced since he crashed in Liège-Bastogne-Liège on April 23, breaking his wrist. Until that point pretty much all he had to do was to start a race to win it. His return of 12 victories from 19 starts is remarkable in the modern age but having not raced for so long will he be back at his very best?

The final stage of the Tour is half procession and half eyeballs out racing up and down the cobbles of the Champs Elysée. What starts with photo opportunities and glasses of champagne ends with the most highly prized sprint stage in front of the thousands that line the route. Hitting the famous boulevard the peloton as is tradition was all together but not for long as the irrepressible Tadej Pogacar decided to shake things up and go out on the attack. 

Could he defy the might of the peloton and take the unlikeliest of victories? Also no, and he wasn’t the last to try and audacious attack before everything came back to gather for a final mass gallop to the line. All eyes were on Jasper Phillipsen, this year’s sprint king but just as it looked like he had got it, across surged Jordi Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe) to take his first ever stage win, and what a stage to do it on. 

Yellow jersey wearer Jonas Vingegaard crossed the line a few seconds later flanked by his whole team, his second victory in two years confirmed, which in the end was a very comfortable one and looks likely to be the foundation of a period of total dominance. 

In the run up to the start of the race we'll be Take a more detailed look at the 2023 Tour de France teams , their key riders and objectives for the three weeks at the bottom of the page.

Tour de France teams and riders 2023

UAE Team Emirates

Cycling’s Galacticos. A team of leaders and winners all here to ride in service of one rider, the world’s current best, Tadej Pogacar. Beaten into second place last year after he cracked on the Col de Granon, ‘Pog’ will be out for revenge this year and it would take a brave man to bet against him taking his third title. 

RIDERS: Felix GROßSCHARTNER, Vegard Stake LAENGEN, Mikkel BJERG, Matteo TRENTIN, Tadej POGAČAR, Adam YATES, Marc SOLER and Rafał MAJKA

Israel–Premier Tech

NO CHRIS FROOME! That was the shock headline, but let’s be honest ONLY Chris Froome thought he was going to be on the start line. Micheal Woods and Dylan Teuns are the riders most likely to deliver but they will need the rub of the green to pull off a stage win, but dreams do come true at the Tour. 

RIDERS: Michael WOODS, Nick SCHULTZ, Corbin STRONG, Krists NEILANDS, Hugo HOULE, Guillaume BOIVIN, Simon CLARKE and Dylan TEUNS.

Lotto–Dstny

Once upon a time Lotto–Dstny could rely upon Victor Campenaerts to win from a solo break or Caleb Ewan to take a sprint stage but no longer. Although these scenarios are both still a possibility they will more likely be looking to younger members of their team to make it into a break and bring home a win for the Belgian team. 

RIDERS: Jacopo GUARNIERI, Frederik FRISON, Pascal EENKHOORN, Jasper DE BUYST, Victor CAMPENAERTS, Florian VERMEERSCH, Caleb EWAN, Maxim VAN GILS

Team TotalEnergies

Gone are the days when Peter Sagan just had to turn up to take the green points jersey such was his dominance, but even the brightest stars fade and in his last Tour it’s unfortunate that he will be little more than a footnote. Unless, that is there is one final bit of magic left in those legs and oh how the cycling fans would love to see that. 

RIDERS: Mathieu BURGAUDEAU, Edvald BOASSON HAGEN, Steff CRAS, Valentin FERRON, Pierre LATOUR, Daniel OSS, Peter SAGAN and Anthony TURGIS.

Uno-X Pro Cycling Team

Made up entirely of Danes and Norwegians this is the first Tour de France for Uno-X and led by their aging talisman the great Alexander Kristoff they will be keen to leave a mark on it. Young stars Søren Wærenskjold and Torstein Træen will also be keen to show that the Norwegian team are here on merit and justify their selection. 

RIDERS: Jonas ABRAHAMSEN, Jonas GREGAARD, Anthon CHARMIG, Søren WÆRENSKJOLD, Torstein TRÆEN, Alexander KRISTOFF, Rasmus TILLER and Tobias Halland JOHANNESSEN.

Alpecin–Deceuninck

In the recent Netflix Tour de France documentary series Jasper Philipsen was referred to as Alpecin–Deceuninck’s ‘Plan B’. This is no longer the case, he is well and truly ‘Plan A’ now, of course along with the ‘other Plan A’, the sensational Mathieu Van der Poel. A once in a generation rider who on his day can beat anyone at anything. 

RIDERS: Mathieu VAN DER POEL, Jasper PHILIPSEN, Jonas RICKAERT, Silvan DILLIER, Ramon SINKELDAM, Quinten HERMANS, Søren KRAGH ANDERSEN, Michael GOGL.

EF Education–EasyPost

EF Education–EasyPost have a team full of winners, each one capable of getting in a break and taking a stage it’s just deciding who will get the chance each day. I’m sure Rigoberto URÁN and Richard CARAPAZ have aspirations of a high finish in Paris but I suspect reality will bite when the manure hits the fan and they will get dropped like a hot stone. 

RIDERS: Alberto BETTIOL, Andrey AMADOR, Esteban CHAVES, Richard CARAPAZ, James SHAW, Magnus CORT, Rigoberto URÁN and Neilson POWLESS

Groupama–FDJ

This Tour is going to be Thibaut Pinot’s swan song, the darling of the French media came agonisingly close to winning the Tour but never delivered the victory the nation craves. He is on paper riding to support team leader David Gaudu but with a question mark the size of Paris hanging over the young French rider’s form maybe Pinot will be let off the leash for one last chance of glory before retirement. 

RIDERS: Quentin PACHER, Olivier LE GAC, Lars VAN DEN BERG, Stefan KÜNG, Kevin GENIETS, Thibaut PINOT, David GAUDU and Valentin MADOUAS.

Ineos Grenadiers

With uncertaintly over whether Egan Bernal will ever get back to his best after his near fatal crash in 2022 team Ineos turn up to the Tour not looking at the overall victory for probably the first time in 10 years. The priority will be hunting stages, unless that is the talented Tom Pidcock can get into the mix because we really do not yet know the limits of his abilities. 

RIDERS: BERNAL Egan, Ben TURNER, Omar FRAILE, Daniel Felipe MARTÍNEZ, Thomas PIDCOCK, Michał KWIATKOWSKI, Carlos RODRÍGUEZ and Jonathan CASTROVIEJO

Intermarché–Circus–Wanty

All eyes are on their star rider Biniam GIRMAY to see if he can deliver the first African stage win. He has already proved himself a champion but will have his work cut out in sprints to beat the other feast men. WIth the backing of a whole continent though this could inspire him to make history in this year’s event. 

RIDERS: Dion SMITH, Biniam GIRMAY, Louis MEINTJES, Mike TEUNISSEN, Adrien PETIT, Georg ZIMMERMANN, Rui COSTA and Lilian CALMEJANE.

Lidl - Trek 

The young Mattias Skjelmose could be in the hunt for the third step on the podium if he still has the form he shown at the Tour de Suisse this but it’s likely Lidl - Trek will find the most success hunting stages. Led by their former world champion Mads Pedersen they also have a very good hand of cards to play whether it be Skjelmose or Ciccone in the hight mountains or Pedersen, Simmons and Stuyven on tough lumpy stages. 

RIDERS: Tony GALLOPIN, Giulio CICCONE, Quinn SIMMONS, Mattias SKJELMOSE, Juan Pedro LÓPEZ, Alex KIRSCH, Jasper STUYVEN and Mads PEDERSEN

Movistar Team

Movistar will be hoping Enric Mas is at his very best as he will need to be if he wants to try and challenge Pogacar and Vingegaard. He did show signs of very good form earlier in the year but has since gone off the boil a bit.

RIDERS: Antonio PEDRERO, Gregor MÜHLBERGER, Alex ARANBURU, Gorka IZAGIRRE, Matteo JORGENSON, Nelson OLIVEIRA, Ruben GUERREIRO and Enric MAS.

Soudal–Quick-Step

With Remco Evenepole rested, Soudal–Quick-Step don’t have a rider for the general classification so their main focus will be to deliver Fabio Jakobsen to the front on sprint days and hope the mercurial Julian Alaphilippe can re-find the form that once made him the most exciting rider on the planet.

RIDERS: Andrea BAGIOLI, Fabio JAKOBSEN, Julian ALAPHILIPPE, Rémi CAVAGNA, Yves LAMPAERT, Mauri VANSEVENANT, Florian SÉNÉCHAL and Michael MØRKØV.

Team Bahrain Victorious

With newly crowned British champion Fred Wright and the ever-aggressive Matej Mohoric leading their hunt for stages, and Jack Haig aiming to get in the mix for the overall, Bahrain Victorious have many cards to play.

RIDERS: Jack HAIG, Phil BAUHAUS, Nikias ARNDT, Wout POELS, Pello BILBAO, Matej MOHORIČ, Mikel LANDA and Fred WRIGHT.

Team DSM–Firmenich

Once again the French will be dreaming of Romain Bardet stood on the top step of the podium in Paris but, alas, I’m afraid it’s very unlikely this will happen. Expect him to shine in the mountain stages and if he is VERY lucky he could get a win but the best he can really hope for is a top 10 finish.

RIDERS: Chris HAMILTON, Alex EDMONDSON, Kevin VERMAERKE, John DEGENKOLB, Sam WELSFORD, Matthew DINHAM, Romain BARDET and Nils EEKHOFF.

Team Jayco–AlUla

Team Jayco–AlUla take a two pronged attack to the Tour with Dylan Groenewegen favorite for the sprint stages and Simon Yates hoping to be in the mix for a very high finish in Paris.

RIDERS: Christopher JUUL-JENSEN, Elmar REINDERS, Chris HARPER, Luke DURBRIDGE, Lawson CRADDOCK, Dylan GROENEWEGEN, Simon YATES and Luka MEZGEC.

Team Jumbo–Visma

Jumbo Visma have an embarrassment of riches, a team stacked with world class winners, all of whom are there with the sole aim of ensuring Jonas Vingegaard takes his second win after last year's success. Their main problem, like last year, will be keeping their talent in check and ensuring they play the team game and don’t go rogue.

RIDERS: Wilco KELDERMAN, Christophe LAPORTE, Tiesj BENOOT, Wout VAN AERT, Dylan VAN BAARLE, Nathan VAN HOOYDONCK, Sepp KUSS and Jonas VINGEGAARD. 

AG2R Citroën Team

AG2R will be throwing all their weight behind their star rider, the Australian Ben O’Connor. Fourth in the 2021 Tour de France and third in this year’s Criterium du Dauphine, he will fancy his chances of being in the mix for a very high placed finish.

RIDERS: Ben O’CONNOR, Nans PETERS, Oliver NAESEN, Benoît COSNEFROY, Aurélien PARET-PEINTRE, Felix GALL, Clément BERTHET and Stan DEWULF.

Arkéa–Samsic

Arkéa–Samsic’s best hope of a successful Tour will be somehow getting a win from a breakaway with French favorite Warren Barguil their best hope of delivering this goal.

RIDERS: Laurent PICHON, Simon GUGLIELMI, Jenthe BIERMANS, Warren BARGUIL, Luca MOZZATO, Clément CHAMPOUSSIN, Anthony DELAPLACE and Matis LOUVEL.

Astana Qazaqstan Team

Alexey Luttsenko is Astana’s best hope for the overall classification but even the most optimistic fan won’t really believe he has a chance of victory. The main goal for the team, from a British perspective that is, is for Mark Cavendish to win his prized 35th stage.

RIDERS: Harold TEJADA, Gianni MOSCON, Alexey LUTSENKO, Yevgeniy FEDOROV, Mark CAVENDISH, Cees BOL, David DE LA CRUZ and Luis León SÁNCHEZ.

Bora–Hansgrohe

Jai Hindley, the 2022 Giro d’Italia winner should be well in the mix for a spot on the podium but he is still a way off the level needed to compete for the win. Stranger things have happened though so keep an eye on the young Aussie.

RIDERS: Marco HALLER, Patrick KONRAD, Bob JUNGELS, Jordi MEEUS , Emanuel BUCHMANN, Jai HINDLEY, Danny VAN POPPEL and Nils POLITT.

Much like Arkéa–Samsic, Cofids’ hopes lie in a win from a break with seasoned winners. Ion Izagirre, Guillaume Martin and Simon Geschke lead their charge. Also watch out for their sprinter Bryan Coquard who, on his day, if everything fell into place, could upset the bigger sprint names.

RIDERS: Alexis RENARD, Simon GESCHKE, Axel ZINGLE, Anthony PEREZ, Victor LAFAY, Bryan COQUARD, Ion IZAGIRRE and Guillaume MARTIN.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads.

Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN . Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.

How to Watch 2022 Tour de France, Stage 12: Live Stream, TV Channel, Start Time

• Author: Phil Watson

Jonas Vingegaard's big finish up the steep Col du Granon on Wednesday was enough to net him his first career Tour de France stage victory and he entered Thursday's mountain stage in the yellow jersey after blowing past two-time defending champion Tadej Pogačar on the final climb. 

How to Watch 2022 Tour de France Stage 12 Today:

Date: July 14, 2022

Time: 3 p.m. ET

TV:  USA Network

Live stream Stage 12 of the 2022 Tour de France on fuboTV: Start your free trial today!

Stage 12 is a 102.8-mile ride from Briançon in southeastern France to the ski resort at L'Alpe d'Huez. The climbs on Thursday begin with the Col d la Croix de Fer, a 5.2% grade that lasts roughly 18 miles. The finish is another climb, the historic 8.5-mile rise to L'Alpe d'Huez and its 21 switchbacks.

Vingegaard's assault on the final climb left him 2:16 clear of Romain Bardet, with Pogačar now trailing by 2:22. VIngegaard was second overall in the tour last year, his first time in the event, and Team Jumbo-Visma worked well to set up the Dane's big finish on Thursday.

The Jumbo team has three stage wins in this year's tour, as Wout van Aert held the yellow jersey before he was overtaken by Pogačar in the overall classification rankings. 

Thursday's coverage is on tape delay.

Regional restrictions may apply.
