The Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium, hosted the team presentation ceremony on 4 July.

The 2019 edition of the Tour de France consisted of 22 teams.[2] The race was the 27th of the 38 events in the UCI World Tour,[3] and all of its eighteen UCI WorldTeams were entitled, and obliged, to enter the race.[4] Additionally, Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the organisers of the Tour, invited four second-tier UCI Professional Continental teams to participate in the event.

He had failed to impress during his build-up for the Tour, although his experience and the consistency of his previous performances in the race (2019 marks his seventh start in the Tour) were considered enough to make him a serious contender.[15][20][21] Thomas' teammate Bernal took victory at both Paris–Nice and the Tour de Suisse, and was to share the leadership with Thomas according to the team.[24] Fuglsang had enjoyed a highly successful spring campaign, having won the prestigious one-day race Liège–Bastogne–Liège as well as the stage races Vuelta a Andalucía and the Dauphiné, with the latter often being seen as the most important preparation event for the Tour. Fuglsang was also thought to benefit from a strong team. However, doubt was cast over Fuglsang's ability to perform over a three-week race.[15][20] Landa's form was considered harder to predict, as he had stayed away from racing after the Giro, where he finished just outside the podium. His best results in the Tour so far was in 2017, when he finished fourth riding as a domestique to Froome.[15][21] Pinot was also considered to be in excellent form after finishing fifth in Dauphiné, and having won the general classification in Tour de l'Ain and Tour du Haut Var. It was however speculated that the pressure in being a home favorite could affect him negatively, as well as possible warm weather. His previous results in the Tour had been mixed: he finished third in 2014, but in subsequent years twice dropped out.[22] Yates returned to the race after finishing 29th the previous year. Although he had to withdraw from the Dauphiné a few weeks earlier due to illness, he was believed to be in good form due to his good results earlier in the season.[22]

Route and stages

At an altitude of 2,770 m (9,090 ft), the summit of the Col de l'Iseran mountain pass (viewed southwards from the summit) on stage 19 is the highest paved pass in the Alps.

On 30 May 2017, the ASO announced that Brussels would host the 2019 edition's opening stages (known as the Grand Départ), honouring one of the Tour's most successful riders, Belgian Eddy Merckx, on the 50th anniversary of his first of five overall victories. It was the second time the Grand Départ has taken place in Brussels and is the fifth Belgian Grand Départ. It also marks 100 years since the race leader's yellow jersey was first seen at a Tour.[30] Further details of the Grand Départ were revealed on 16 January 2018, which were that it included an opening stage that featured the steep cobbled Muur van Geraardsbergen climb, an icon of the Tour of Flanders one-day race, and a second stage which was a team time trial around the streets of Brussels.[31] The entire route was unveiled on 25 October 2018, which the race director Christian Prudhomme described as "the highest Tour in history."[32]

The opening stage visited Charleroi and looped back to Brussels, to connect the regions of Flanders and Wallonia in a stage. Starting in Binche, the third stage left Belgium for France, with the following stage taking the race to the north-east to the Vosges Mountains for two further stages. Two transitional stages then took the race southwards ending in the city of Saint-Étienne. Stages 9 and 10 traversed the Massif Central highland region, before the Tour's first rest day. The following two stages moved the race to the Pyrenees, which hosted four stages. After the second rest day, the Tour took a long transfer west for stage 16 which finished in Nîmes. Stage 17 took the race up to the Alps at Gap. After three Alpine stages, an air transfer moved the Tour to the outskirts of Paris, ending with the Champs-Élysées stage.[33]

There were 21 stages in the race, covering a total distance of 3,365.8 km (2,091 mi).[9] There were two time trial events, stage 2's 27.6 km (17 mi) team time trial and stage 13's 27.2 km (17 mi) individual time trial.[33] Of the remaining nineteen stages, seven were officially classified as flat, five as hilly and seven as mountainous.[33] The longest mass-start stage was stage 10, at 217.5 km (135 mi), and the shortest was stage 14, at 117.5 km (73 mi).[33] The route contained five mountain-top finishes: stage 6, to La Planche des Belles Filles; stages 14, to the Col du Tourmalet; stage 15, to Foix; stage 19, to Col de l'Iseran;[a] and stage 20, to Val Thorens.[35] The Iseran mountain pass, the highest paved pass in Europe, featured on stage 19.[32] This was the seventh time that the Tour climbed the 2,770 m (9,090 ft) Iseran, but only the second ascent from the more difficult southern side.[32] Of the 34 stage start or finish hosts, the race visited Binche, Saint-Dié-des-Vosges and Pont du Gard for the first time.[33]

Thomas placed second, fourteen seconds down.[58] On stage 14, the last of the breakaway riders were caught by the leading group of general classification contenders at 10 km (6.2 mi) before the finish atop the Col du Tourmalet. With 1 km (0.62 mi) remaining, Thomas got detached from the lead group containing Alaphilippe, Emanuel Buchmann, Pinot, Bernal, Landa and Steven Kruijswijk. Pinot attacked in the final 250 m (270 yd) and held his lead to the summit.[59] On the final stage in the Pyrenees, Simon Yates took his second stage win of the race from a reduced breakaway of six at the summit of Prat d'Albis. Pinot attacked the group of general classification contenders with 6 km (3.7 mi) remaining to finish in second place, 33 seconds behind, moving himself up to fourth overall. Following the last of the few breakaway riders, the overall contenders, led by Thomas, came in 1' 22" behind Yates. The general classification after the stage was Alaphilippe in first place, Thomas second, 1' 35" down, Kruijswijk third at 1' 47", with Bernal and Buchmann following Pinot closely in fifth and sixth respectively.[60] The following day was the Tour's second rest day.[33]
Egan Bernal (pictured on stage 4) became youngest winner of the Tour in 110 years

As the Tour came down from the Pyrenees for transitional stages towards the Alps, it the experienced the beginning of the record-breaking July 2019 European heat wave. Stage 14 won by Ewan from a bunch sprint in Nîmes, his second of the Tour. Crashes during the stage included overall favourites Thomas and Fuglsang, with the latter forced to abandon.[61] In the following stage, the 33-rider breakaway's advantage grew to 15 minutes at one point.

The 34-strong breakaway reduced to and group of elite riders by the foot of the Galibier, the final climb. Nairo Quintana attacked with 7.5 km (4.7 mi) still to climb, leading by over a minute and a half at the summit, which he held on the descent to the finish. Meanwhile, with 2 km (1.2 mi) still to climb of the Galibier, Bernal attacked from within the yellow jersey group containing Alaphilippe and Thomas, allowing Bernal to recover half a minute on the other general classification contenders by the finish and move up to second overall.[64] Highly regarded pre-race favourite Romain Bardet, who moved out overall contention after losing 20 minutes on stage 14's Col du Tourmalet and switched focus to breakaway rides, took the lead of the mountains classification.[65]

Around 40 km (25 mi) into stage 19, Pinot, who had been sitting fifth in the general classification, abandoned the race due to a leg muscle injury.[66] At head of the race in the closing kilometres of the planned second to last climb, the Col de l'Iseran, Bernal attacked from the group of overall favourites, catching and passing final breakaway riders by the summit.

His advantage over the favourites there was one minute. Alaphilippe was dropped following Bernal's attack, and was two minutes behind over the top. During the descent, race organisers neutralised the race due to snow, hailstorms, and mudslides rendering the road unsafe near Val-d'Isère on the final ascent to Tignes. Times for the general classification being taken at the summit of the Iseran, with the stage victory and most combative rider of the day not awarded. As a result, Bernal, who had been in second place overall, moved ahead of Alaphilippe and took the yellow jersey. The stage was shorten from 126.5 km (79 mi) to 89 km (55 mi).[34] The bad weather also caused the penultimate stage to be reduced in length beforehand from 130 km (81 mi) to 59.5 km (37 mi), bypassing the category 1 Cormet de Roselend and the category 2 Côte de Longefoy, with the only climb being Val Thorens to the finish.[67] A group of nearly thirty riders established a two and a half minute lead over the peloton, before being greatly reduced to six on the early slopes of the climb to Val Thorens. With 12 km (7.5 mi) remaining, Nibali attacked from this group and soloed to victory. The general classification contenders followed him together close behind, with Alaphilippe being dropped again and losing more to time to moved from second overall to fifth.[68]

The final stage in Paris was won by Ewan in a bunch sprint on the Champs-Élysées, his third win and the most of any rider in this edition of the race.

Classification leadership

Four main individual classifications were contested in the 2019 Tour de France, as well as a team competition. The most important was the general classification, calculated by adding each rider's finishing times on each stage.[70] Time bonuses (time subtracted) were awarded at the end of every stage apart from the time trial stages. The first three riders receive 10, 6, and 4 seconds, respectively. For crashes within the final 3 km (1.9 mi) of a stage, not including time trials and summit finishes, any rider involved would have received the same time as the group he was in when the crash occurred.[71] The rider with the lowest cumulative time was the winner of the general classification and is considered to be the overall winner of the Tour.[70] The rider leading the classification wore a yellow jersey.[72] In celebration of 100th anniversary of the yellow jersey, an individual jersey design were issued for each day's race leader.[73] In a bid to animate racing, time bonuses of 8, 5, and 2 seconds respectively for the first three riders across a mountain summit were given out at eight climbs.[74][75] These occurred on stages 3, 6, 8, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 19.[76] These bonuses replaced the special sprints that were a feature in the 2018 edition.[74]

Intermediate sprint

The second classification was the points classification. Riders received points for finishing among the highest placed in a stage finish, or in intermediate sprints during the stage. The points available for each stage finish were determined by the stage's type.[70] The leader wore a green jersey.[72]

The third classification was the mountains classification. Points were awarded to the riders that reached the summit of the most difficult climbs first. The climbs were categorised, in order of increasing difficulty, as fourth-, third-, second-, and first-category and hors catégorie. Double points were awarded at the top of hors catégorie climbs higher than 2,000 m (6,562 ft).[75] The leader was identified by a white jersey with red polka dots.[72]

The final individual classification was the young rider classification. This is calculated the same way as the general classification, but was restricted to riders born on or after 1 January 1994.[75] The leader wore a white jersey.[72]

The final classification was a team classification. This was calculated using the finishing times of the best three riders per team on each stage; the leading team was the team with the lowest cumulative time. The number of stage victories and placings per team would have determine the outcome of a tie.[75] The riders on the team that lead this classification were identified with yellow number bibs on the back of their jerseys and yellow helmets.[77]

In addition, there was a combativity award given after each stage to the rider considered, by a jury, to have "made the greatest effort and who demonstrated the best qualities of sportsmanship".[75] No combativity awards were given for the time trials and the final stage.[78] The winner wore a red number bib the following stage.[77]

There were also two special awards each with a prize of €5000. The Souvenir Jacques Goddet, given to the first rider to pass Goddet's memorial at the summit of the Col du Tourmalet in stage 14, and the Souvenir Henri Desgrange, given to the first rider to pass the summit of the highest climb in the Tour, the Col de l'Iseran on stage 19.[78] Thibaut Pinot won the Jacques Goddet and Egan Bernal won the Henri Desgrange.[34]
