Three stages for the sprinters, one for the sprinter-punchers, a day in the high mountains, a time trial and a gravel stage: this is the programme for the first week of the Tour de France ! From Plaisance to Troyes, via Galibier, Gevrey-Chambertin and Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, these seven days of racing will certainly offer us some great cycling moments, and on Sunday evening, on the eve of the first rest day, we will know more about the race for the yellow jersey, even if the main difficulties will still be to come. But there will not only be the Tour de France this week since the following will take place in parallel: Tour of Austriathe Sibiu Cycling Tour and the sleeve of Mountain Bike World Cup organized in Les Gets, in Haute-Savoie. And next Sunday, it will be time for the second Grand Tour of the season for the women, who will start in Tour of Italy in Brescia, Lombardy.
