Visma | Lease a Bike on the Tour de France Route
Visma | Lease a Bike has already analysed the route of the 2027 Tour de France. “At first glance, it seems like a fairly balanced route, with a number of flat sprint stages, explosive finishes, and tough mountain stages. The two long, relatively flat time trials stand out in particular. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen that in the Tour,” said Head of Racing Marc Reef.
"Compared to last year, I'm seeing fewer riders making it to the top of the climbs, and in my opinion, there could have been a few more. All in all, it's an interesting course," he said, perhaps speaking a bit more from Vingegaard's perspective.
"It's October, and we're analysing everything, evaluating the situation, talking to Jonas, all the other riders, the coaches, and the sports director, so we'll make a decision together in the coming weeks," Plugge adds.

- The article makes the new roster sound like a guaranteed fix, but big names don’t always click straight away. Ciccone and Pidcock both like having leadership, so it’ll be interesting to see how they share it. I hope it works, though.gearguru3326-10-2026
