Premiere day, Saturday June 29. The first stage of the Tour de France will start from Italy, which has never happened before. And the first stage, between Florence and Rimini (206 km), will offer the peloton more than 3,600 m of positive altitude difference, which has never happened so early in the race either.

At the end of the effort, a stage victory and, in fact on a first stage, a yellow jersey.
