Cycling's brightest stars shine in Paris for the Grand Boucle's unveiling
Cycling's stars shone brightly Tuesday morning in Paris for the 2020 Tour de France route presentation, where race director Christian Prudhomme unveiled an unconventional and mountainous route for next year's Grand Boucle.
Four-time Tour winner Chris Froome joined Team Ineos teammate and 2019 Tour winner Egan Bernal for the festivities, along with general classification rivals Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale), Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-QuickStep) and Steven Kruijswijk (Jumbo-Visma).
Jasper Philipsen (UAE Team Emirates) and Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) represented the sprinters, although 2020 may prove to be a fairly unfriendly route for the fastmen.

The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
