The 3,470 kilometer race (that’s 2,156 miles) will be a unique one largely because of restrictions put in place due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There will be eight mountain stages on the route, eight mountain stages, along with four summit finishes, nine flat stages and three hilly stages. A final individual time trial will take place on the second-to-last day. Terrain the race will cover includes mountainous regions in the Alps, the Massif Central, the Pyrenees, the Jura and the Vosges.
