This Sunday, July 7, 2024, the 9th stage awaits the riders of the Tour de France 2024. Special for several reasons: it starts and finishes in the town of Troyes, just 1.3 km apart, and contains no fewer than 14 white roads, for a total distance of 32.2 km, out of the 199 that make up the stage (i.e. 16.2% of the total distance).

At the end of the 8th stage in Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises in the late afternoon, Thierry Gouvenou, event director on the Tour de France and as such the architect of its route, explained to us the particularity of this 9th stage and its raison d'être on a route like that of the Tour de France 2024.
If we hadn't found these white roads here between Troyes and Troyes we'd have had a litany of sprints and that's not what we want to give the public, we want to give it a bit more spice!

Director of the race
