On Saturday afternoon, the 104th edition of the Tour de France will get underway as the first of the 198 riders strong peloton rolls down the stage 1 time trial start ramp. Over the following 20 stages, the peloton will fight tooth and nail to decide who will arrive in Paris on July 23 and add their name to the yellow jersey honour roll.
Each one of the 21 stages that make up the 2017 Tour will be of significance to the overall outcomes. However, certain stages will be of greater significance than others and to determine which days will be of greater importance in the battle for the yellow jersey, Cyclingnews sought the experience and opinion of four Australians who have enjoyed Tour de France success.
2011 Tour de France champion Cadel Evans, Tour de France winning director Scott Sunderland, 2003 green jersey champion Baden Cooke, and the first non-European to wear the yellow jersey, Phil Anderson, have looked over the parcours and previewed stages exclusively for Cyclingnews.
