The 2024 Tour of Luxembourg live stream is one of the the last big national tours of of the year and it's attracted a strong line up of riders keen to hone their form in the final run up to the world championships next week. Leading the line will be the current world champion Mathieu van der Poel who had to leave the recent Benelux tour due to knee pain so will be keen to get through this race in good shape. Read on for how to watch the Tour of Luxembourg live stream 2024 from anywhere, including free streams.

Up against the Dutchman will be last year’s winner Marc Hirschi, in one of his last races for Team UAE before he switches to Tudor pro cycling, and also Magnus Kort, Koen Bouwman, Harm Vanhoucke and Nicolas Prodhomme.

The course is predominantly a hilly one featuring three stages packed with short sharp climbs, one flat stage for the sprinters and a short time trial to ensure the victor must excel on all terrain.

Living up to his top billing Mathieu van der Poel took stage one and the race lead as he builds up to the World Championships. The only downside is, he will no longer race in his rainbow stripes and has to wear the race leaders jersey. 

Stage two has a flatter profile but if Van der Poel want's to defend his jersey it should be no problem.

What is the 2024 Tour de Luxembourg 2024 Route?

The 2024 Tour de Luxembourg is a five-stage race starting with a hilly 156km route in and out of the city of Luxembourg. There are four serious climbs to be tackled including the Côte de Bourscheid and Côte d’Eschdorf, ensuring the general classification will start to take shape on day one.

Stage two is a much flatter route from Junglinster to Schifflange. Expect the sprinters' teams to control the day so their leaders can have the chance of taking the win. 

After a single day on the flat it’s time to head back into the hills for the queen stage from Rosport to Diekrich. The 201km route is jam packed with climbing including seven peaks in the final 30km on the circuit around Diekirch including three ascents of the Haemerich and two of the Seitert.

After a huge day of climbing, stage four returns back to the flat for a very short 15.5km time trial with almost no elevation gain at all. Expect two battles this day, one for the stage win and one between those riders up near the top of the GC.

The race ends with 177km from Mersch back into the city of Luxembourg. It’s another extremely hilly stage with four categorised climbs in the early part of the stage followed by a couple of ascents of the viciously steep Pabeierbierg on the run into the finish.
