Tour de France to clash with LA 2028 Olympics after start date announced

The 2028 Tour de France has been announced with a start date one week earlier than its traditional schedule to avoid clashing with the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. The adjustment is designed to accommodate the opening of the LA Olympics, which begins in the same period as the race typically takes place. This scheduling change reflects the broader coordination required between major international sporting events in the 2028 calendar.
