TOUR DE FRANCE 2007: STAGESTour De France Map

Compiled by Edward Pickering, Nigel Wynn

The Tour de France 2007 starts with an 7.9km prologue in London on Saturday, July 7 before covering 3,550km in total over 20 stages.
After the Grand Depart in Britain's capital city, racing starts proper the following on Sunday July 8 when stage one rolls through the Kent countryside to finish in Canterbury.

After leaving England via the Channel Tunnel, the Tour heads to Burgundy and then the Alps. The mountain stages start softly on stage seven to Le Grand Bornand on July 14, but then get serious the day after with the 165km stage and uphill finish to Tignes. After the first rest day at Tignes on Monday July 16, the Tour climbs over the legendary Galibier.

Instead of facing Mont Ventoux, the riders will then head for the Pyrenees via a 54km time trial around Albi. The following day's stage features an uphill finish at Plateau di Beille and then the tough Foix to Loudenvielle stage follows on. After the second rest day in Pau, the peloton wave goodbye to the Pyrenees in Gourette, at the summit of the mighty Col d'Aubisque.

The final 55km time trial on Saturday July 28 is from Cognac to Angouleme is north of Bordeaux before a TGV transfer north to Paris.
The traditional run in to the Champs Elysees starts outside Paris in Marcoussis, home of the national rugby team's training camp, in recognition of the 2007 Rugby World Cup being held in France.
