Tour gets Passage start
Print Edition
RIDERS in the 2018 Tour de France will set off from the Passage du Gois, a causeway that Atlantic Ocean tides cover twice a day.
With this year’s race set to start in the German city of Duesseldorf, cycling’s biggest event will return home for its “Grand Depart” in 2018. Tour organizers unveiled the first three stages of the 2018 route, which will start in the western Pays de La Loire region on June 30. Stage 1 will take the peloton on a 195-kilometer ride from Noirmoutier-en-l’Ile to Fontenay-le-Comte. Sprinters will have a chance to grab the yellow jersey the next day between Mouilleron-Saint-Germain and La Roche-sur-Yon, a town that will host its first stage finish since 1938. Stage 3 will be a 35-kilometer team time trial in Cholet, and Stage 4 will start from the posh sea resort of La Baule, with the peloton heading north.
