Thessaloniki as the starting point and Athens as the finishing line, with an individual time trial and five stages (individual routes), which will pass successively through Katerini, Karditsa, Karpenisi, Sperchiada and Chalkida.
This year’s Tour will also include a “royal” surprise stage, worthy of the great Tours abroad, which will impress cycling fans and millions of viewers via worldwide television coverage.
Twenty teams from all over the world with 120 athletes, including the Greek and Cypriot national teams, will give the big battle for the blue jersey of the overall, as well as the individual rankings and stage victories.
