Relive the 2018 Tour de France through this playlist of Velon’s on-bike video highlights
See the full start list for the 2019 Tour de France, which begins in Brussels on Saturday 6th July, and ends in Paris on Sunday 28th July.
For all 21 Tour stages, Velon will bring cycling fans around the world a live Tour de France race centre, on-board video highlights, race highlights, a Fantasy TDF game and exclusive content from inside the race.
The first week is packed with chances for the sprinters - as well as a team time trial in Brussels on Stage 2 - before the first hilly stages bring opportunities for the peloton’s puncheurs and breakaway specialists.
Stage 11 from Toulouse to Bagnères-de-Bigorre is the first mountain stage, and ushers in a gruelling second half of the race featuring five summit finishes - three of which are over 2,000m.
The Tour concludes with an evening race around Paris on Sunday 28th July. All 22 teams consist of eight riders, so 176 riders will be on that start line in Brussels for the greatest bike race in the world …
