Tomorrow the Tour de France 2018 will start in Noirmoutier-en-l'Īle, the start of a 23 days adventure with 21 stages for 176 riders (you can find the detailed race route here).

Less riders than usual, 22 less to be precise, because the number of riders per team has been reduced from 9 to 8.

Team Sky

Chris Froome, last year's winner, will finally be at the start of the race, despite the refusal from A.S.O. to see the British rider start in the race, because of the ongoing investigation about him. Indeed, since the UCI received the green light from AMA concerning the scientific explanation of the results of the analysis of Froome's sample in the Tour of Spain, there is no doping suspicion anymore and thus no reason to refuse him to start.
