The world's greatest bike race will start from western France
for the first time since 2011, when the riders departed from the
Vendee region.
The first stage will take the peloton on a 188-kilometre journey
from Mont St Michel to Utah Beach.
The second stage will be a 182-km ride from St Lo to Cherbourg
and the third will start from Granville and finish at a
destination which is yet unknown.
The whole route will be unveiled in October, 2015.
The 2015 Tour de France will start from Utrecht, Netherlands,
its fourth Grand Depart from abroad in six years.
