It’s almost the end of the 2023 Tour de France and with only two stages remaining the cyclists set off for Le Markstein, France in stage 20. On July 21 the cyclists face some of the most challenging climbs to appear on this year's route. 

Matej Mohorič won stage 19 of the 2023 Tour de France. Going into stage 20, Jonas Vingegaard wears his yellow jersey proudly. 

Vingegaard returned this year seeking his second-consecutive Tour de France win. As cyclist approach the final finish line on July 22, it seems the dream could turn into reality. Vingegaard's lead is more than 7-and-half-minutes ahead of the field. 

The Tour de France is considered to be the most prestigious cycling race of the year. It’s an extremely long route that needs to be divided into 21 stages, and every stage’s terrain is extremely physically demanding. That doesn't change in stage 20.
