Welcome to our live coverage of Stage 19 of the 2023 Tour de France! Our live profile and commentary are below, followed by a preview of the technical aspects of the route.
Course Preview
At 172.8 kilometres, the 19th stage of the Tour de France travels from Moirans-en-Montagne to Poligny. The elevation gain is almost 2,000 metres, while the home straight runs false flat uphill.
The riders traverse the Jura Mountains without tackling any major climbs. The route goes up or down for most of the day, but the gradients rarely exceed 5%. In fact, the Côte du Bois de Lionge (1.9 kilometres at 5.7%) and the Côte d’Ivory (2.3 kilometres at 5.9%) are the only KOM classifaction worthy uphill sections of the day. The latter is situated almost 30 kilometres from the finish.
The Tour de France never visited Poligny, so the stage winner will achieve something unique.
Also unique are the last 8 kilometres. This section runs as straight as an arrow to the finish line. The last kilometre goes up at 1.4%.
