The routes of the 2024 Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will be presented in Paris on Wednesday, ending the rumours, reports and speculation about the courses of the sport's biggest races. 

The Velowire website and local French media have revealed many of the key stages and details of the Tour de France, but many details remain concealed even so close to the official presentation. There are still some 'known unknowns', Donald Rumsfeld the former US Secretary of Defense would have said if he was studying the race routes.
