Tour de France 2017: Stage-by-stage guide and winners

The guide below is provided by former British cyclist Rob Hayles and was curated from BBC Sport website.

 

The three-week 3,540km (2,200-mile) race started in Germany with a 14km individual time trial. It ventures through Belgium and Luxembourg before heading into France. The route takes the 198 riders down the eastern side of France to the Jura mountains in the opening week before a rest-day transfer across to the Dordogne in the west. Two days in the Pyrenees mountains will dominate the second week, while the third week is all about the Alps and what race organisers will hope is a decisive 22.5km individual time trial on the penultimate stage.
