The 103rd Tour de France is now well underway, with a route covering a total distance of 3519 kilometres over 3 weeks. The 21 stages comprise of nine mountain stages, one hilly stage, nine flat stages, two time trials plus two rest days. Four countries will be visited this year which are France, Spain, Andorra and Switzerland.
