Tour de France 2009

Full details of each stage of the 2009 Tour de France have been published on the race's official website today.

Tour organiser Amaury Sports Organisation provides a comprehensive breakdown of each of the 21 stages in this year's race, including estimated time schedule.

This year's Tour starts in Monaco with a 15.5km time trial on Saturday July 4 and finishes three weeks later on the Champs Elysees in Paris on Sunday July 26.

The 3,500km route comprises of 10 flat stages, eight mountain stages, two individual time trial stages and one team time trial stage. Three of the stages end with a mountain top finish.

Those taking part in the 2009 Etape du Tour (Monday, July 20) will want to study the schedule for stage 20 to Mont Ventoux to see exactly what they are letting themselves in for.

Earlier in the year we picked out which stages we think that Britain's Mark Cavendish has a chance of winning. Cycling Weekly's week-by-week guide to the 2009 Tour is in the News section

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
