Tour de France 2013
This morning the Tour de France 2013 route was announced at a Press Conference in Paris.
After teasing us all with speeches and an excellent montage film of the highlights of the 2012 Tour (is it just us who still get goosebumps watching Mark Cavendish win on the Champs Elysees and Wiggo take the crown?), the route was announced.
For the first time in years, the 100th Tour de France will be exclusively in Franc. It will begin in Corsica, before heading to Nice for its mainland tour and heading to the Pyrenees unusually early.
The two Pyrenean routes are Stage 8 from Ax 3 Domaines and then towards us for Stage 9.
Stage 9 on Sunday 7 July, goes frrom Saint Gironnes to Bagneres de Bigorre, which is a 45 minute drive from Bareges. It is a relentless stage, with five climbs during the 165km route.
Therefore, our Tour de France guided cycling week this year will begin with a bang on Sunday 7 July, as we head cycle over the cols to Bagneres de Bigorre, ready to watch the pros as they cycle over their stage finish.
As well as our Tour de France guided cycling week, we’re also offering our week long cycling holiday from the 13 to 20 July. This Classic Cols week allows you to cycle some of the famous Pyrenean Tour de France routes and Cols. Alternatively, if you’re short on time, come and join us for our cycling long weekend, from the 22 – 25 June.
