A little calm before the storm. The third stage of the Tour de France 2024 which takes place this Monday July 1 will be the longest of this edition: 230.5 kilometers on the program and few difficulties… except arriving at the hotel on time to see the round of 16 of Euro 2024 France-Belgium expensive for Belgian and French runners. Tadej Pogacar starts in yellow, jersey scraped from Romain Bardet at the end of a second stage won by Kévin Vauquelin.

One region for another: the runners leave Emilia-Romagna, from the town of Piacenza, to reach Turin and Piedmont. 230.5 km on the program, for the longest stage of this 2024 Tour de France.
The profile of the third stage
After two tricky first stages, a little “rest” on the roads of Italy: no big difficulty on the program with undoubtedly a great opportunity to show off for the sprinters in the fight for the green jersey, in a very likely sprint massive in Turin. A sort of transition before reaching France and tackling serious things in the mountains.
It’s difficult to bet on anything other than a massive sprint in Turin. Distressed from the first stage, can Mark Cavendish dream? The mission seems complicated. It would rather be logical to bet on Jasper Philipsen, whom Mads Pedersen and Axel Zingle will undoubtedly challenge.
