Climbs
Stage
Trip Start
Stage 1
Vannes > Plumelec
Starting in the magnificent medieval setting of the port of Vannes, this short stage run entirely in the Morbihan is designed to add dynamism to the race. After tackling part of the route of the 2020 French Road Championships at Grand-Champ, the peloton will quickly reach the two laps of the final circuit where they will tackle the climb of the Côte de Cadoudal three times. Victory at the summit will certainly go to a punchy rider.
Stage 2
Brest > Quimper
The peloton will set off from the busy port of Brest, just as the 2021 Tour did. After running along the coast and passing through Châteaulin, a town renowned as a cycling centre, the riders will face the Menez Quelerc’h (3km at 6.2%). From Locronan, this stage - run entirely in the Finistère area - will head to Quimper and onto an undulating loop spiced up by two hills, with the finish line located at the top of the second. The day’s winner is sure to have plenty of stamina and power.
Stage 3
La Gacilly > Angers
La Gacilly hosted both the 2023 Tour de l’Avenir and this year’s Tour de Bretagne. This stage start in front of the covered market is a logical and well-deserved continuation of that trend. A little further on, memories of Tour stage starts in 1983 and 2004 will be rekindled at Châteaubriant, which is home to a well-renowned club and an operational velodrome. After racing on country roads with no significant difficulties, the riders are very likely to serve up a bunch sprint for the fans in Angers.
Stage 4
Saumur > Poitiers
Starting at the National Equestrian School, the route will follow the Loire and then the Vienne, taking in some marvellous sights, including the châteaux at Montsoreau, Chinon and Richelieu, the town built by the eponymous cardinal. Heading south towards Poitiers, the final five kilometres of this stage will be identical to the finale in the 2020 Tour, which concluded with a bunch sprint at the end of a long false flat.
Stage 5
Jaunay-Marigny Futuroscope > Guéret
At the start of this long stage in Jaunay-Marigny, the riders will pass the HQ of the FDJ-Suez team, which, thanks to the support of Futuroscope, is celebrating 20 years in the women’s peloton. At Chauvigny, a stage town in the 2020 Tour, they will pass through Place Raymond-Poulidor. Continuing on minor roads and through Dun-le-Palestel, the riders will reach the Maupuy climb (2.8 km at 5.4%), before heading into Guéret for the finish on a rising false flat.
