Official route to be announced on 22 October
The Tour de France route for 2027 is generating buzz as the race organiser ASO prepares to unveil the full itinerary. While the UK Grand Départ on July 2nd is confirmed, the remaining stages have been pieced together by local journalists and the Velowire website. The route is believed to start in Cherbourg, France, after the UK leg.
Stage four may include the Côte du Cadoudal climb in Plumelec, a new addition to the Tour. The Loire Valley and Loir-et-Cher departements are also expected to play a role in the early stages. The Pyrenees are set to make a return, with potential highlights including a summit finish at Samoëns and a return of the Col du Granon, a climb that was the site of a memorable 2022 incident involving Tadej Pogačar. The final stage is expected to conclude in Paris.
