Course Preview
The 4th stage of the Tour de France is played out in the northern part of France. At 215 kilometres, the route leads from Reims to Nancy for a likely sprint finish.
The riders set off in Reims for a race in an easterly direction. On flat to rolling roads the course runs to Nancy, where the brilliant Fausto Coppi won stages in the only two editions of the Tour de France he competed in – 1949 and 1952.
The 7th stage of the 2014 Tour de France travelled on a similar route from Épernay to Nancy. The finale was pepped up by two cols before Matteo Trentin outgunned Peter Sagan in a blistering sprint on the line.
Nancy hosted thirteen Tour de France finishes since 1947.
