The 2023 Tour de France was the 110th edition of the Tour de France. It started in Bilbao, Spain, on 1 July and ended with the final stage at Champs-Élysées, Paris, on 23 July.

Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard ({{UCI team code|TJV|2023}}) won the general classification for the second year in a row. Two-time champion Tadej Pogačar ({{UCI team code|UAD|2023}}) finished in second place, with Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) finishing third.

The race began in Bilbao in the Basque Country before returning to France. The first two weeks of the race was closely fought between Vingegaard and Pogačar, with just 10 seconds between the riders by the end of the second week. The decisive stages were the individual time trial on stage 16 where Vingegaard won by 1 minute 38 seconds ahead of Pogačar, and the subsequent stage in the Alps where Vingegaard extended his lead to over seven minutes. Vingegaard won the Tour for the second year running, putting him equal on Tour wins with his rival Pogačar. His winning margin of 7 minutes 29 seconds was the largest since 2014.

The points classification was won by Jasper Philipsen ({{UCI team code|AFC|2023}}) for the first time. The mountains classification was won by Giulio Ciccone ({{UCI team code|LTK men|2023}}), the first Italian to achieve this feat since 1992. The young rider classification was won by Pogačar for the fourth year in a row, and the team of {{UCI team code|JVW|2023|nolink=yes}} won the team classification. Victor Campenaerts ({{UCI team code|LTS|2023}}) was chosen as the most combative rider.

The race was followed by the second edition of the Tour de France Femmes, which held its first stage on the final day of the men's Tour.

In January 2022, Amaury Sport Organisation announced that the Basque Country in Spain would host the Grand Départ, with the first stage in Bilbao.{{Cite web |last=Farr |first=Stephen |date=2022-01-26 |title=2023 Tour de France to start in the Basque Country |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/2023-tour-de-france-to-start-in-the-basque-country/ |access-date=2022-11-02 |website=cyclingnews.com |language=en |archive-date=3 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221103181045/https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/2023-tour-de-france-to-start-in-the-basque-country/ |url-status=live }} It was the second time that the Basque Country hosted the Tour's start, following the 1992 edition.{{cite news |title=Spain's Basque country to host the 2023 Tour de France's Grand Départ |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jan/26/spains-basque-country-to-host-the-2023-tour-de-frances-grand-depart |access-date=23 June 2023 |work=The Guardian |agency=Reuters |date=26 January 2022 |archive-date=23 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230623085744/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jan/26/spains-basque-country-to-host-the-2023-tour-de-frances-grand-depart |url-status=live }} In October 2022, the full route was announced by Christian Prudhomme.{{cite web |last1=Farr |first1=Stephen |date=27 October 2022 |title=Tour de France 2023 route revealed – mountainous profile, only 22km of time trialling and four summit finishes |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de-france-2023-route-revealed-mountainous-profile-only-22km-of-time-trialling-and-four-summit-finish-finales/ |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=cyclingnews.com |language=en |archive-date=31 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331203129/https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de-france-2023-route-revealed-mountainous-profile-only-22km-of-time-trialling-and-four-summit-finish-finales/ |url-status=live }}

The race began in Bilbao, next to the Guggenheim Museum, before crossing into France on stage 3. After two stages in the Pyrenees, the Tour returned to the Puy de Dôme for the first time since 1988 at the end of the first week.{{cite news |last1=Boren |first1=Cindy |title=Everything you need to know about the 2023 Tour de France |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/07/01/tour-de-france-2023-how-watch-route-jersey-meaning/ |access-date=7 July 2023 |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=1 July 2023}} After the first rest day, the race crossed over the Massif Central into the Alps, with stage 13 on Bastille Day ending with a summit finish on the Col du Grand Colombier. Another summit finish followed two stages later, this time at Saint-Gervais-les-Bains. Following the second rest day, stage 16 was the only individual time trial of the race, at {{convert|22.4|km|mi|abbr=on}} in length. Stage 17 in the Alps featured the most amount of climbing, with over {{convert|5,000|m|ft|abbr=on}} on the way to Courchevel.

The first week of the Tour was described by French rider Romain Bardet ({{UCI team code|DSM men|2023b}}) as "most difficult [...] that ever existed", featuring a large number of high-mountain climbs and offering up the possibility of significant time differences between the general classification contenders.{{cite news |last1=Cotton |first1=Jim |date=28 October 2022 |title=Romain Bardet on 2023 Tour de France: 'The most difficult first week that ever existed' |work=Outside |url=https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-racing/tour-de-france/romain-bardet-on-2023-tour-de-france-the-most-difficult-first-week-that-ever-existed/ |access-date=7 July 2023 |archive-date=29 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230729123835/https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-racing/tour-de-france/romain-bardet-on-2023-tour-de-france-the-most-difficult-first-week-that-ever-existed/ |url-status=live }} The route was considered to favour climbers, with one short, uphill time trial on stage 16.

Pre-race favourites

File:TDF3033 pogacar vingegaard (52243724489).jpg (left) and Tadej Pogačar (right, both pictured during the 2022 Tour de France) were considered the main favourites for overall victory.]]

The 2023 Tour de France was generally expected to be a two-way fight between defending champion Jonas Vingegaard ({{UCI team code|TJV|2023}}) and two-time winner Tadej Pogačar ({{UCI team code|UAE|2023}}). Both had finished in first and second place respectively the year before, with the positions reversed in 2021. The pair had raced against one another early in the season at Paris–Nice, a race won by Pogačar, while Vingegaard finished third. Vingegaard's form then picked up as the season progressed. He won three stages and the overall classification at the Tour of the Basque Country in April. At the Critérium du Dauphiné, the most important preparation event for the Tour, he won two stages and won the general classification by the biggest margin since 1993.{{cite news |last1=Becket |first1=Adam |title=Roll on the Tour de France: Jonas Vingegaard ready after dominant Critérium du Dauphiné win |url=https://www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/roll-on-the-tour-de-france-jonas-vingegaard-ready-after-dominant-criterium-du-dauphine-win |access-date=19 June 2023 |work=Cycling Weekly |date=11 June 2023 |archive-date=19 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230619132019/https://www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/roll-on-the-tour-de-france-jonas-vingegaard-ready-after-dominant-criterium-du-dauphine-win |url-status=live }} Pogačar meanwhile enjoyed a very successful spring campaign, winning the Tour of Flanders, the Amstel Gold Race, and La Flèche Wallonne. He also came fourth at Milan–San Remo and third at the E3 Saxo Classic. A crash and subsequent injury at Liège–Bastogne–Liège then interrupted his season.{{cite news |last1=Paine |first1=India |title=Tour de France 2023 Favourites: Who Will Win the Yellow Jersey? |url=https://www.rouleur.cc/blogs/the-rouleur-journal/tour-de-france-2023-favourites-who-will-win-the-yellow-jersey |access-date=19 June 2023 |work=Rouleur |date=12 June 2023 |archive-date=19 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230619132022/https://www.rouleur.cc/blogs/the-rouleur-journal/tour-de-france-2023-favourites-who-will-win-the-yellow-jersey |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=McGrath |first1=Andy |title=Tour de France 2023 – Analysing the contenders |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/tour-de-france-2023-analysing-the-contenders/ |access-date=19 June 2023 |work=Cyclingnews.com |date=13 June 2023 |archive-date=19 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230619132020/https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/tour-de-france-2023-analysing-the-contenders/ |url-status=live }}

Behind Vingegaard and Pogačar, the best chances at overall victory were given to 2022 Giro d'Italia winner Jai Hindley ({{UCI team code|BOH|2023}}). His best result in the run-up to the Tour was fourth overall at the Critérium du Dauphiné. Other riders named as possible favourites were Mikel Landa ({{UCI team code|TBV|2023}}), Enric Mas ({{UCI team code|MOV|2023}}), David Gaudu ({{UCI team code|FDJ|2023}}), former Giro d'Italia winner Richard Carapaz ({{UCI team code|EFE|2023}}), Ben O'Connor ({{UCI team code|ALM|2023}}), and Romain Bardet ({{UCI team code|DSM men|2023b|nolink=yes}}).

Egan Bernal ({{UCI team code|IGD|2023|nolink=yes}}), the winner of the 2019 Tour de France, was not given big chances to win overall, since he was still recovering from a life-threatening crash the year before, even though he performed well at the Critérium du Dauphiné.

Four-time winner Chris Froome ({{UCI team code|IPT|2023}}), who had so far not managed to reach his previous form after a serious accident in 2019, was left off his team's Tour roster.{{cite news |last1=Whittle |first1=Jeremy |title=Chris Froome misses out on Tour de France place but vows to return in 2024 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jun/23/cycling-chris-froome-misses-out-tour-de-france-2023 |access-date=26 June 2023 |work=The Guardian |date=23 June 2023 |archive-date=25 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230625210105/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jun/23/cycling-chris-froome-misses-out-tour-de-france-2023 |url-status=live }} The most notable absentees from the race were a quartet of general classification favourites and former Grand Tour winners who chose to prioritise the 2023 Giro d'Italia, which featured more time trial kilometres than the Tour in 2023, which suited some of these riders.

Several riders were seen as possible favourites for victories on stages ending in bunch sprints and therefore for the points classification, which is won based on points collected by high placings on individual stages and awards a green jersey. Mark Cavendish ({{UCI team code|AST|2023}}) returned for his last Tour de France and was chasing the record for most stage wins by any rider, starting the Tour on an equal number of 34 with Eddy Merckx. A stage win at the Giro d'Italia proved that Cavendish was still a strong sprinter, even at the age of 38. Due to strong performances so far in the season, the best chances at multiple sprint stage wins were given to Jasper Philipsen ({{UCI team code|ADC|2023}}). Other favourites in this category included Dylan Groenewegen ({{UCI team code|JAY men|2023|nolink=yes}}), and Fabio Jakobsen ({{UCI team code|QST|2023|nolink=yes}}). Riders who could excel both in sprints and on more hilly terrain, and therefore would be candidates for the points classification as well, were defending green jersey winner Wout van Aert ({{UCI team code|TJV|2023|nolink=yes}}), former world champion Mads Pedersen ({{UCI team code|LTK men|2023b}}), Mathieu van der Poel ({{UCI team code|ADC|2023|nolink=yes}}), and Biniam Girmay ({{UCI team code|ICW|2023}}).{{cite news |last1=Becket |first1=Adam |title=21 riders to watch at the Tour de France 2023: It's not just Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar |url=https://www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/21-riders-to-watch-at-the-tour-de-france-2023-its-not-just-jonas-vingegaard-and-tadej-pogacar |access-date=23 June 2023 |work=Cycling Weekly |date=22 June 2023 |archive-date=23 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230623084447/https://www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/21-riders-to-watch-at-the-tour-de-france-2023-its-not-just-jonas-vingegaard-and-tadej-pogacar |url-status=live }}

The first stage around Bilbao in the Basque Country saw a crash of several riders, which ultimately forced two pre-race favourites, Carapaz and Mas, to abandon. The race broke into several groups over the two final climbs of the day, with identical twins Simon and Adam Yates breaking away from a select group on the final ascent. The pair held their advantage to the finish, with Adam Yates taking the stage win and the first leader's yellow jersey ahead of his brother. Pogačar won the sprint in the group behind to finish third, and Neilson Powless ({{UCI team code|EF1|2023}}) took the lead in the mountains classification.{{cite news |last1=Whittle |first1=Jeremy |title=Adam Yates pips twin Simon to Tour de France stage one win and yellow jersey |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jul/01/cyling-adam-yates-simon-tour-de-france-stage-one |access-date=7 July 2023 |work=The Guardian |date=1 July 2023 |archive-date=5 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230705184056/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jul/01/cyling-adam-yates-simon-tour-de-france-stage-one |url-status=live }}{{cite web|website=Cycling News|date=July 1, 2023|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-france-2023/stage-1/live-report/|title=As it happened: Adam Yates victorious in Bilbao Tour de France opener|accessdate=July 10, 2023|first=Stephen|last=Puddicombe|archive-date=10 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230710212805/https://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-france-2023/stage-1/live-report/|url-status=live}} Stage 2 featured the climb of the Jaizkibel, prominently used in the race Clásica de San Sebastián later in the season. On the climb, a select group of favourites emerged ahead of the peloton, with Pogačar taking eight bonus seconds available at the summit ahead of Vingegaard. Victor Lafay ({{UCI team code|COF|2023}}) broke clear of the leading group within the final kilometre of the stage and managed to keep his advantage to win the stage ahead of van Aert, while Yates retained the yellow jersey.{{cite news |last1=Whittle |first1=Jeremy |title=Tour de France: Victor Lafay wins stage two but Adam Yates keeps overall lead |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/cycling/2023/07/02/tour-de-france-victor-lafay-wins-stage-two-but-adam-yates-keeps-overall-lead/ |access-date=7 July 2023 |newspaper=The Irish Times |date=2 July 2023 |archive-date=7 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230707162927/https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/cycling/2023/07/02/tour-de-france-victor-lafay-wins-stage-two-but-adam-yates-keeps-overall-lead/ |url-status=live }}

Jasper Philipsen won the following two, relatively flat, stages from bunch sprints. On stage 3 into Bayonne, he came in ahead of Phil Bauhaus ({{UCI team code|TBV|2023|nolink=yes}}), following a strong lead-out by teammate Mathieu van der Poel.

On stage 5, the first mountain stage in the Pyrenees, a 36-man breakaway containing multiple pre-race favourites including Jai Hindley escaped from the bunch and established a stable advantage. The maximum lead of the group over the field was four minutes and was still at 2:30 minutes as it began the ascent of the final climb of the day, the Col de Marie-Blanque. Hindley dropped the remaining breakaway riders and rode alone over the top of the climb and into the finish in Laruns to win the stage, taking the lead in the general classification.

With him came in other favourites such as Gaudu, Martinez, Rodriguez, and the Yates brothers. Meanwhile, Ben O'Connor and Romain Bardet lost 1:57 minutes to Hindley.

After the first rest day, stage 10 had a chaotic beginning, with many groups of riders—at one point including Vingegaard and Pogačar—attempting to break away before being caught by the peloton; a stable breakaway emerged around the halfway point of the stage. Krists Neilands attacked the breakaway group and was solo leader for much of the last section of the stage, but was eventually caught by other breakaway riders including Pello Bilbao, who went on to win the stage.

Pogačar came in second, over a minute ahead of Vingegaard's teammate van Aert, while Adam Yates moved into third place in the general classification, ahead of Rodriguez.{{Cite news |last=Whittle |first=Jeremy |date=2023-07-18 |title=Jonas Vingegaard leaves Tadej Pogacar trailing in Tour de France time trial |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jul/18/jonas-vingegaard-tadej-pocagar-tour-de-france-time-trial-cycling |access-date=2023-07-24 |issn=0261-3077 |archive-date=24 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230724074605/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jul/18/jonas-vingegaard-tadej-pocagar-tour-de-france-time-trial-cycling |url-status=live }}{{cite web|website=BBC|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/cycling/66237675|title=Tour de France stage 16: Jonas Vingegaard keeps yellow jersey and blows away Tadej Pogacar|date=July 18, 2023|access-date=25 July 2023|archive-date=25 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230725075211/https://www.bbc.com/sport/cycling/66237675|url-status=live}} On stage 17, which was a mountainous one, a fierce counter-attack from Pogačar was expected.{{Cite web |date=2023-07-24 |title=Tadej Pogacar bricht ein und kann den Gesamtsieg abschreiben |url=https://www.wort.lu/sport/tadej-pogacar-bricht-ein-und-kann-den-gesamtsieg-abschreiben/2168880.html |access-date=2023-07-24 |website=luxemburger-wort-online |language=de |archive-date=24 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230724085545/https://www.wort.lu/sport/tadej-pogacar-bricht-ein-und-kann-den-gesamtsieg-abschreiben/2168880.html |url-status=live }} However, Pogačar needed assistance from his teammate Marc Soler in the climb towards the Col de la Loze and lost further time to Vingegaard, who widened the lead to more than seven minutes in a stage won by Gall.

Kasper Asgreen held off the competition to win the eighteenth stage, which entered the Rhone valley.
