💨 Abstract

The Tour de France organizers have announced plans to include a climb up Montmartre hill in Paris during the final stage, breaking with tradition and stirring controversy. This change could disrupt the typical celebratory sprint and potentially decide the Tour winner. While organizers aim to create a spectacle, top riders like Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel have expressed concerns about the added stress and safety on the narrow, cobbled streets.
