2023 Tour de France expected to include early TTT and Alpine TT

The 2023 Tour de France will start in Bilbao in the Basque Country on Saturday July 1 and end in Paris on Sunday July 23. The Tour hasn't included a team time trial since 2019, when Jumbo-Visma won the 27.6km stage around Brussels. The team time trial is expected to be on stage 6 and around the town of Tarbes at the foot of the Pyrenees. The 2023 Tour seems centred around the Grand Ballon, last used in 2019 but never as a summit finish. With no closing time trial, the Tour de France peloton will transfer to Paris on Sunday morning.
