Nice and the Tour de France have a very long and strong bond. A stage town as early as 1906, it has hosted the race 40 times since then, most significantly in 2024. In the year that the Olympic Games took place in Paris, for the first time in the Tour’s history the capital didn’t host the final stage: that honour went instead to Nice as a reward for its loyalty, and we were all left with the indelible memory of Tadej Pogacar’s victory. It’s now the turn of the women’s peloton to create their own legend.
