Route and stages

In January 2022, Amaury Sport Organisation announced that the Basque Country in Spain would host the Grand Départ, with the first stage in Bilbao.[3] In October 2022, the full route was announced by Christian Prudhomme.[1] The Tour will return to the Puy de Dôme for the first time since 1988, and only 22 kilometres (14 mi) of time trials are on the route — the shortest amount since the 2015 edition.[1][4]
