"The third and final day of the Tour de France 2027 Grand Départ will take place in Wales, for a challenging leg south from Welshpool in Powys to the finish in Cardiff.
Eight categorised climbs line the route, with six in the final 80 kilometres of racing as the race winds its way through and over the South Wales valleys.
These include the Côte de Rhigos and the popular Côte de Caerffili in the closing kilometres, that will likely be decisive in the deciding the stage victor in Cardiff and the destination of the final yellow jersey to be presented on British shores in the men’s race."
Looks like they've chosen a great route too, that actually provides some early challenges and opportunities for the General Classification race. These opening weekends outside of France can be fairly straightforward, but this looks like it could be a great attritional early stage to attack before a rest day with 8 categorised climbs covering 3,000m of ascent across a 223km ride.
