Starting out from the Basque Country on July 1, the 2023 Tour de France will visit each of France's five mountain ranges as the most prestigious event in cycling marks its 120th year.
The decisive stage finish will be held at the Puy de Dome, a climb where Denmark's Johnny Weltz triumphed 35 years ago.
One of Weltz's countrymen, Jonas Vingegaard, is defending his title this year, while key rival Tadej Pogacar is returning from a wrist injury just in time for his expected challenge.
The opening stage was won by Adam Yates, who retained the Yellow Jersey until Tour debutant Jai Hindley hit the front when he triumphed on the first mountain stage from Pau to Laruns.
On the climb of the Col de Marie Blanque, Vingegaard made an emphatic early statement by leaving Pogacar 1km from the summit. The defending champion took the yellow jersey the following day on stage six, although Pogacar clawed back 36 seconds of the 64 he lost to Vingegaard in that showdown over the next two days, promising another titanic tussle.
Jasper Philipsen excelled with three wins in the first seven stages to storm clear at the top of the Points Classification. Philipsen edged Marc Cavendish out of what would have been a record-breaking 35th career stage win for the 'Manx Missile'. But there was heartbreak when Cavendish crashed out of his final Tour 60km from the end of stage eight to Limoges.

Philipsen has since taken another stage win to put some more pressure on his points rivals before Michal Kwiatkowski won atop the Grand Colombier. Spainiard Carlos Rodriguez won the next stage, beating Vingegaard and Pogacar on the final descent.
Stages 16 and 17 saw Vingegaard make decisive moves in defence of his title, first by winning the time trial from Passy to Combloux and then by taking almost six minutes out of Pogacar as he dropped him on the final climb of the Queen stage in the Alps.
Following stages won by Kasper Asgreen and Matej Mohoric respectively, Pogacar won Stage 20 – but glory was within sight for runaway leader Vingegaard.
And on Sunday, Vingegaard sealed his second straight Tour de France victory, finishing 7:29 ahead of Pogacar. Vingegaard becomes the third different cyclist to win consecutive Tour de France titles since Lance Armstrong's streak of seven, which have since been vacated. Pogacar won back-to-back in 2020 and 2021, and Chris Froome won three straight from 2015-17.
Here are the latest standings from the Tour de France 2023, including the stages, teams, how to watch and more.
