The 2021 Tour de France ran from Saturday, June 26 until Sunday, July 18. Here, you can find the full route for 2021’s Tour, with the courses, distances and stage types.

The Tour de France, first run in 1903, is known as the biggest race in world cycling and is one of the three grand tours, alongside the Vuelta a Espana and Giro d’Italia. The grand tours are the only races allowed to go for three weeks’ duration and are the most prestigious tours on the calendar.

The 2021 Tour de France was won by Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar – his second straight title. Pogacar also repeated as the winner of the Mountains and Youth classifications. Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard finished second and Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz rounded out the podium. Mark Cavendish of Great Britain took out the points classification and equalled Eddy Merckx’s stage wins record in the process.

Australia’s Brendan O’Connor finished fourth on his Tour de France debut.

Cadel Evans’ victory in 2011 is the only time an Australian has been named the Tour de France’s general classification winner. Australia has won the points classification five times, however, with Robbie McEwen doing so three times.
