While he counts the (lower slopes of the) Alps and Pyrenees among the places he has ridden, family life means his body is best suited to dragging a children’s trailer along a coastal path than conquering mountains… TOUR DE FRANCE 2020 - VIDEO GAMES (XBOX ONE) TOUR DE FRANCE 2019 (IOS / ANDROID) Starting from the town of Brides-les-Bains, the opening 11km is typical of the Alps and takes riders from the valley to the ski resort of From there, an ever-changing gradient will make it difficult for riders to find a rhythm over the final 6km, with some seriously steep pitches and the 2,000m+ altitude combining for what should be an explosive finale.Not only will the peloton be tackling the steeper of its two ascents – 5.8km at an 11.5 per cent average for its paved section – there is then the added challenge of gravel across the plateau.At 1.8km long, the dirt plateau is unlikely to pose any major problems but makes for a spectacular scene before the peloton starts the final run-in to La Roche-sur-Foron via the Col des Fleuries.Tour organisers have resisted the urge for more gravel on La Planche des Belles Filles, but this is set to be a gruelling finish to the race, with a 36km time trial starting in Lure and finishing on the mountain’s brutal slopes.ASO extended La Planche des Belles Filles for the 2018 race, taking riders onto a gravel road for the final kilometre.

The 2019 Tour de France features 22 teams battling it out over 21 stages. The 2019 time trial, however, will end at the top of the paved road at 1,035m.Chris Froome rode to his first stage win on the mountain in 2012, infamously riding away from team leader (and yellow jersey) Bradley Wiggins.The climb is 5.9km long, with an average gradient of 8.5 per cent, but a short stretch at one-in-four just below the summit will sap every last sinew of energy from the riders.Even without the gravel section, there will be heartbreak in the Vosges for any big-name contenders who fail to seize the yellow jersey ahead of the final processional stage into Paris.

Tour de France Highlights 55,761 views 22:44 What it lacks in height, it makes up for in severity.Overall, the ascent – which features on stage nine – is 7.7km at an 8.6 per cent gradient, but for the final 3.7km the gradient barely drops below 10 per cent, with some stretches significantly steeper.The col lures riders in with a moderate opening through a gorge, but the leg-sapping finale could open significant gaps in the field before the descent to Laruns.All this comes at the end of a stage that also includes the Col de la Hourcère and Col de Soudet, both of which also ramp up to double-digit gradients.The Pas de Peyrol on Puy Mary is the highest road pass in the Massif Central and will be familiar to any veterans of the 2004 Etape du Tour.Coming directly after the short, steep Col de Neronne on a relentlessly lump stage 13, the Pas de Peyrol is another to lure riders in with a moderate opening.The final couple of kilometres, however, are relentless – the average gradient ramps up to more than 11 per cent leading to the summit finish. This may be a short climb at just 5.4km, but it represents an opportunity for the peloton’s explosive climbers to make their mark.Riders on the 2020 Tour de France will go into the final rest day with plenty of climbing in their legs, after a brutal stage 15 in the Juras.Tackled from its ‘easier’ southern side, that will be no consolation to riders as they tackle 17.4km of ascending with a maximum gradient of 12 per cent.A combination of steep ramps and false flats make finding a rhythm tough, and the climb saves a nasty sting in its tail – double figures for the final 400m.And when we say completely new, we mean it – the top section of the freshly-tarmacked Alpine pass was only opened officially in summer 2019.
