Tour de France final stage could copy Paris Olympics road race with cobbled climb

The Tour de France‘s final stage of this year’s race could include three ascents of the Butte de Montmartre as the race gets set to return to its traditional Paris finish.

Last year saw the race wrap up in Nice due to the Olympics taking place in the French capital, but will return to Paris this year. According to a report in Le Parisien, the Amaury Sport Organisation [ASO], the race’s organiser, is weighing up whether to adapt the final stage on its return to Paris to include three ascents of the inner city climb which featured in both of the Olympic road race events.
