The 111th edition of the Tour de France got under way in Florence, Italy on Saturday, 29 June with the three-week race ending in Nice on Sunday, 21 July.<\/b><\/p>\n
The riders will tackle seven mountain stages including trips to the Pyrenees and Alps during the 3,492km (2,170-mile) race.<\/p>\n
There will also be two individual time trials, with La Grande Boucle concluding with a race against the clock for the first time since 1989 – when Greg LeMond famously pipped Laurent Fignon to the yellow jersey by eight seconds.<\/p>\n
BBC Sport looks at each stage of the gruelling 21-stage event, analysing where it could be won and lost.<\/p>\n
This page will be updated throughout the Tour with the winner and a brief report following each stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
