The 2024 Tour de France
Will Pogačar manage to complete the Giro-Tour double, a feat not seen since Marco Pantani in 1998? Will Vingegaard have recovered sufficiently from his crash at the Tour of the Basque Country? How will Remco Evenepoel fare in his first Tour de France? Is Roglic capable of winning the only Grand Tour missing from his palmares? The presence of the Fantastic 4 promises a Tour de France of anthology for the battle for the overall classification!
With 3 Italian stages to start with, the Galibier on stage 4, a stage on the white gravel roads around Troyes, a simply monstrous final week and a never-before-seen finish in Nice, there should be plenty to see! All the info on the 2024 edition here!

But before diving into the new adventures, why not take a trip back to the Tour’s glorious past, right here at the Liège-Bastogne-Liège House of Cycling?
Exceptional items at the Maison du cyclisme Liège-Bastogne-Liège
At the heart of our establishment, the rich history of the Tour de France is revealed through a unique collection of jerseys and bikes that have marked the different eras of this legendary competition.
Come and discover, among others, the bike and yellow jersey of Walloon rider Joseph Bruyère, the bike given by LOOK to Laurent Jalabert to celebrate his Polka dot jersey as best climber in 2004, and Freddy Maertens’ legendary green jersey from the 1981 Tour

As well as the jerseys and bikes, our collection includes rare objects that will take you into the intimacy of the Tour de France: helmets, gloves, race numbers, panniers, water bottles and many other objects as incredible as they are unusual, from the oldest to the most recent.
On the eve of the start of the Tour de France 2024, we invite you to come and discover our exceptional exhibition. The Maison du Cyclisme Liège-Bastogne-Liège awaits you to celebrate the history and spirit of the Tour.
