Stage 20 of the 2027 Tour de France runs 198 km from Maubourguet to Libourne on Saturday, July 24, a flat day with about 1,700 meters of climbing between the Pyrenees and Paris.
Domestique Cycling calls it a transitional stage, with the sprinters and the breakaway riders fighting for the win. For the overall contenders the job is to stay out of trouble on rolling, twisting roads; for the sprinters it is one of the last chances of the Tour.
Libourne has hosted a stage finish before: Matej Mohorič won there in 2021, on stage 19 from Mourenx. In 2023 stage 8 started in the town and Mads Pedersen won in Limoges. Libourne also hosted time trial finishes in 1957 and 1992.
Paris is the next day.
