Next year’s Tour de France will be a treacherous affair featuring two treks through the Alps as organisers avoid Paris ahead of the Summer Olympics, while the women’s race will have a grand finale at L’Alpe d’Huez in August.
For the first time since its creation in 1903, the men’s Tour will not finish in Paris with the winner being crowned in Nice after the race’s first Grand Depart in Italy, Florence playing host for the world’s greatest cycling race.
