The edition is in fact, from the moment of its presentation, in history: for the first time the Great Boucle will start fromItaly, covered in practice by 3 and a half stages in honor of the centenary of the victory, the first Italian, of Ottavio Bottecchia, and again for the first time the conclusion will not be a Paris due to the almost concomitance with the Olympics, but a Nice, the scene of a final time trial which could shuffle the cards in the general classification, unlike what happens in the usual parade on Champs-Élysées. In short, the show will be so great that it risks (so to speak) enthralling even those who are not usually fascinated by pedal-powered two-wheelers or even by the most important event in the world that concerns them.
