Die vorgeschlagenen Etappen für den Grand Départ 2029 sind mehr als sportliche Prüfungen. Sie skizzieren eine Route durch pulsierende Städte, geschichtsträchtige Orte und abwechslungsreiche Landschaften, die Berlin und Mitteldeutschland in seiner ganzen Vielfalt zeigen und den Anforderungen an ein Rennen wie die Tour de France gerecht werden. Noch handelt es sich um Planungen und Wünsche, die sportliche Spannung mit eindrucksvollen Eindrücken verbinden sollen – ein erster Ausblick darauf, wie die Region Millionen von Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauern vor Ort und weltweit begeistern könnte.

The start of the Grand Départ 2029 is intended as a celebratory highlight. The big team presentation in Dresden marks the start of the sporting spectacle that will have the world looking to Central Germany. From the city on the Elbe, the first stage leads through varied landscapes and traditional towns to Jena.

A route is planned that is both challenging and impressive - from the steep wall of Meerane to the finish in the heart of Thuringia. It is still a proposal that shows how sport, history and emotions could flow together in the opening act.

The second stage connects Thuringia with Saxony-Anhalt and leads from the cultural center of Erfurt to the traditional state capital of Magdeburg. Along the route there are places steeped in history and challenging climbs, for example in the Kyffhäuser or Harz mountains. The route is intended as a sporting challenge that can sort out the field early and provide spectacular images. This is another proposal that shows how Central Germany could combine sporting intensity with scenic diversity.

The planned opening stage will conclude with an exciting time trial from Halle to Leipzig. With its urban backdrops and the final city circuit around the Red Bull Arena, the route offers a stage for drama and emotion. Millions of people locally and around the world could witness how seconds can make the difference between victory and defeat. It is still a pipe dream of the planning, showing how impressively Central Germany could crown the Grand Départ.

We are working together with our partners on new route proposals.
