The pro racing season is over\u2013but there\u2019s still a lotta chatter about next year. We\u2019ve seen some pretty interesting rider transfers as teams firm up for 2027. The other thing we always look forward to as cycling fans are the Grand Tour routes.<\/p>\n
The routes for the 2027 Tour de France Fellas and Tour de France Femmes are out, and both races will get rolling in Great Britain before heading across the Channel to France.<\/p>\n
The 2027 Tour de France<\/p>\n
The men\u2019s Tour starts in Edinburgh on July 2, with three stages in Scotland, England and Wales. The opening week features a 38 km individual time trial and a summit finish on the Col du Grand Colombier. Later, the riders will take on the Alps, a punchy finish in Mende and a pair of demanding Pyrenean stages.<\/p>\n
The biggest test comes on Stage 18, a 174 km mountain stage with 5,400 m of climbing. The route includes the Col du Soulor and Col du Tourmalet before the final ascent to the Col du Portet. A second individual time trial, this one 33 km in Toulouse, also gives the GC contenders an important chance to gain time. The race finishes in Paris on July 25.<\/p>\n
Montmartre returns<\/p>\n
The big news is for \u00a0Stage 21, that the popular Montmartre climb is there again.<\/p>\n
The cobbled climb has completely changed the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es stage, transforming it from a traditional bunch sprint (and every now and again, but not often, breakaway a day) to a race for the punchy Classics riders. In 2025, it was Wout van Aert who took the final dub, and this year it was Mathieu van der Poel.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Tour de France\u2122 (@LeTour) October 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Both times, yellow jersey Tadej Poga\u010dar was right there in the mix, too. Start lists are of course, not even remotely ready\u2013but there should be a good mix of Canucks too. Might be nice to see a guy like Sainte-Lucie-des-Laurentides, Que.\u2019s Nick Zukowsky<\/a> do his first Tour. He\u2019s been clutch at the Giro d\u2019Italia and La Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a\u2013in mega breaks, or as a workhorse for his team leader Tom Pidcock. He\u2019ll have another big name on the squad next year too in Giulio Ciccone. Could we see Oakville, Ont.\u2019s Michael Leonard do his first Grand Tour next July? Normally you\u2019d expect a GT rookie to start with say, the Vuelta or Giro, but never know anymore.<\/p>\n The 2027 Tour de France Femmes<\/p>\n The women\u2019s Tour begins in Leeds on July 30. Its first three stages are in Britain, including a historic 18 km team time trial through London, finishing on The Mall. The race then moves to France for a mix of hilly stages, a sprint opportunity between Orl\u00e9ans and Bourges, and two consecutive days of climbing.<\/p>\n \ud83e\udd29There you go: here is the route of the #TDFF2027 avec Zwift !<\/p>\n \ud83e\udd29 Nous y sommes : voici le parcours officiel du #TDFF2027 avec Zwift !<\/p>\n #WatchTheFemmes https:\/\/t.co\/NAtrL7BKRR<\/p>\n
