Route Description
Starting from the Paris start pens, you’ll ride a lead-in around the Jardin des Tuileries on the east end of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, then head up the Champs, riding through the lap banner which is the route’s official start and finish line.
Next, you’ll finish an almost full lap of the Champs-Élysées circuit, but you’ll turn right toward the Madeleine before finishing the lap.
Make a loop around the Madeleine, then hit the Église Sprint before turning right to head toward Montmartre, where the Montmartre KOM awaits. Put in a hard dig, enjoy the panoramic view of Paris at the top, then recover on the descent so you can take the green jersey on the Tchou Tchou Sprint.
Almost done! Ride past the Madeleine once more, rejoin the Champs-Élysées, and head through the lap banner to finish.
