Departure and arrival in Bilbao , for the first stage, on 1 July 2023, and arrival in Paris on 23 July after 3,404 km. In the middle a few time trial kilometers (only 22 ) and more climbs, with the Pyrenees to be tackled immediately, and a grand finale in the Vosges. These are the main features of next year's Tour de France, presented today in the transalpine capital.

A challenging course, suitable for those who go strong uphill, with some opportunities also for sprinters. Three stages in the Alps and the penultimate stage that ends in Le Markstein , a very demanding climb that will decree the last verdicts of the race.
