That is the ultimate stage of TdF 2023! That is the standard experience into Paris, with laps up and down the Champs-Elysees, with the spectacle of some of the beautiful dash stage set-ups in biking. The all-or-nothing scenario, and a number of 180 diploma turns, makes it an incredible problem for a crew and lead-out rider to get their sprinter in place.
The 70-mile experience is admittedly in 2 components – the primary a parade of 35 miles to the Champs-Elysee, and the second half about 35 miles up and down the Champs.
Since all in any echelon, together with the principle peloton, get the identical end time, it is vitally difficult for GC contenders to achieve any time. So, this last stage nearly by no means consists of challenges to the ovreall GC. What we get is sprinter groups getting nervous and vying for place, and everybody else sipping champagne – the true stuff not the stuff from California – and the successful rider’s crew posing for glamour photographs.
