The opening stage leads from Florence in Tuscany over 206 kilometers and through the Apennines to Rimini on the Adriatic coast. What a contrast between culture and beach fun. The riders will have little of either on this day. The distance alone is tough, with seven categorized climbs totaling 3,600 meters of elevation gain. It\u2019s quite possible that one of the top contenders for the overall victory will don the yellow jersey at the end of this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stage 1 | 29 June | Florence \u2013 Rimini | 206 km | 3,600 m elevation gain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f17473f1812&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f17473f1812\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"804\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil-1024x804.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil-1024x804.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil-768x603.png 768w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil-1536x1206.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil-1920x1508.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil-1500x1178.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil-1060x833.png 1060w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil-700x550.png 700w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil-325x255.png 325w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Profil.png 2032w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>\u00a9 ASO<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For those with time and interest in sightseeing, the route of stage 1 is ideal. Starting from Florence with its many landmarks, the route passes through Tuscany and the Apennine hills, crossing the microstate of San Marino before finishing in the coastal city of Rimini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the racers, it\u2019s a different story. About 35 flat kilometers precede the first climb of the day. This isn\u2019t just any category-4 hill seen in other opening stages, but a category-2 climb. The road ascends 12.5 kilometers at an average gradient of 5.1% to the 930-meter-high Valico Tre Faggi pass, as the Italians call it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, the riders will descend on a long downhill stretch leading directly into the short and sharp C\u00f4te des Forche (2.5 kilometers at 6.2%). About ten kilometers later, the first sprint of the Tour will take place in Santa Sofia. Those who push for green jersey points here should be aware that the Colle del Carnaio follows less than three kilometers later. This narrow road climbs 7.1 kilometers at 6%, a name that translates to &#8220;the charnel house.&#8221; Those who fall behind here have over 30 kilometers on a downhill section to catch up before encountering a quartet of climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Five Climbs in 50 Kilometers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From Mercato Saraceno at race kilometer 129.3 in Emilia-Romagna to the summit of the C\u00f4te de San Marino, the stage goes up and down for 50 kilometers. The C\u00f4te de Barbotto (5.8 kilometers at 7.6%) is followed by the C\u00f4te de San Leo (4.6 kilometers at 7.7%) \u2013 both category-2 climbs \u2013 and the C\u00f4te de Montemaggio (4.2 kilometers at 6.6%), before crossing into San Marino. The C\u00f4te de San Marino, a category-3 climb of 7.1 kilometers at an average of 4.8%, caps off this climbing section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, it\u2019s 25 kilometers to the finish. The first ten kilometers descend back into Italy, and the final fifteen kilometers are flat, ending the stage at the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f17473f21af&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f17473f21af\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-2048x1448.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-135x95.jpg 135w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-1920x1357.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-1500x1060.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-1060x749.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-700x495.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Tour-de-France-2024-1-Etappe-Karte-325x230.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>\u00a9 ASO<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Favourites Check: Stage Win and Yellow Jersey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Tadej Pogacar take the yellow jersey on the first day? Or will he let a teammate break away on the final climb with other &#8220;less dangerous&#8221; riders? Or will &#8220;Pogi&#8221; finish in a small leading group and miss the victory? These could be the possible scenarios for the first stage of the 2024 Tour de France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will likely be an early breakaway group, similar to the Giro d\u2019Italia opening stage. This group will be chased down in the final 70 kilometres. The pace will likely be very high as the GC teams position their leaders for the seven categorized climbs, accelerating the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be interesting to see when top riders like Tom Pidcock, Primoz Roglic, or Tadej Pogacar take the initiative and attack in the last 40 to 50 kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For classics riders like Mathieu van der Poel, Mads Pedersen, or a resurgent Wout van Aert, the 3,600 metres of climbing will likely be too tough, similar to the opening stage in the Basque Country last year. They are expected to be dropped during the final long climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classifications of Stage 1 of the Tour de France<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sprint Classifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Santa Sofia | Race kilometer 86.6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mountain Classifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Col de Valico Tre Faggi (930 m) | Category 2 | Race kilometer 49.7<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C\u00f4te des Forche | Category 3 | Race kilometer 77.8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C\u00f4te de Carnaio | Category 3 | Race kilometer 98.3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C\u00f4te de Barbotto (584 m) | Category 2 | Race kilometer 135.6<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C\u00f4te de San Leo (572 m) | Category 2 | Race kilometer 157.3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C\u00f4te de Montemaggio | Category 3 | Race kilometer 167.1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C\u00f4te de San Marino | Category 3 | Race kilometer 179.7<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Header Image: Photonews.be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Information on stage profile, route, map, and favorites.
