The Italian daily reveals the first stages (1st stage: Florence-Rimini; 2nd stage: Cesenatico-Bologna; 3rd stage: Modena-Piacenza).
And especially the Italian daily, the Tour de France would not live its epilogue in Paris (since 1903) and its traditional parade on the Champs-Élysées (since 1975).
Due to the proximity of the Paris Olympic Games (July 26-August 11), the Tour would live its last stage (Sunday July 21) in Nice, which was the scene of the big start of the Giro 1998.
