FDJ
- → Start and results list

- → Start and results list
- Warren Barguil , 14th in the final ranking last year, led the team starting with a German license into the race with a view to the overall standings.

Barguil was supported by the Dutchman Laurens ten Dam , who has been driving for Giant-Alpecin since this season and has already reached the top 10 of the tour. Even Tom Dumoulin was in the squad of the team, but he wanted to be held after the tour Olympic time trial concentrate in Rio.

-
IAM Cycling
- → Start and results list
- The team from Switzerland wanted to repeat Mathias Frank's top 10 result from last year if possible.

Tsgabu Grmay , Luka Pibernik and Jan Polanc also counted in this ranking, Tsgabu Grmay was also the first rider from Ethiopia to take part in a Tour de France.

-
Team Lotto NL-Jumbo
- → Start and results list
- The Dutch team was led into the 2016 Tour de France by Wilco Kelderman . Last year's sixth-placed finisher, Robert Gesink , who was originally earmarked for the role of captain , was unable to start the Tour de Suisse due to a fall injury .

-
Lotto Soudal
- → Start and results list
- In the squad of the Belgian team mainly drivers were called up to support sprinter André Greipel in the sprint train.

-
Movistar team
- → Start and results list
- At the 103rd Tour of France, everything in the Spanish Movistar team was geared towards the victory of the Colombian Nairo Quintana .

Even Alejandro Valverde , who was third behind Quintana on the tour last year, should fully serve the Colombian. The other racing drivers in the squad, including Ion Izagirre , Daniel Moreno , Winner Anacona and Nélson Oliveira , were all mountain specialists in support of Quintana. At the 2015 Tour, the Movistar team won the team championship.
-
Orica-BikeExchange
- → Start and results list
- The Australian team entered the 2016 Tour de France without any ambitions for the overall standings. Rather, individual riders should ensure stage successes, including those from escape groups. These included Adam Yates and Rubén Plaza on more demanding stages, Michael Matthews on relatively flat terrain, Michael Albasini and Mathew Hayman (winner of Paris – Roubaix 2016 ). Simon Gerrans drove his eleventh Tour de France and was one of the most experienced athletes in the peloton.
-
Team Sky
- → Start and results list
- Chris Froome was to celebrate his third Tour de France overall victory this year after 2013 and 2015. In preparation for the tour, the Briton won the Critérium du Dauphiné . He was supported by a strong squad: Geraint Thomas was placed at the top of the overall ranking for a long time last year and was able to support Froome for a long time together with Wout Poels . Also Mikel Nieve , stage winner and winner of the mountains classification (Tour of Italy) of the Giro d'Italia in 2016 , should help the British in the mountains. Also in the squad was Mikel Landa , who finished third in the 2015 Giro but was previously unable to build on these achievements. Even Sergio Henao was a strong climber. Time trial specialist Wassil Kiryenka should do a lot of speed work for the team. Ian Stannard and Luke Rowe could also have achieved stage wins on intermediate stages.
-
Tinkoff
- → Start and results list
- The Russian cycling team was built around the riders Alberto Contador and Peter Sagan . Contador had won all Grand Tours more than once and in 2016 wanted to win the tour for the third time after 2007 and 2009.

Peter Sagan had won the points classification in each of the last four years and was aiming to win the fifth green jersey as well as another stage win. With him were Oscar Gatto , Matteo Tosatto , Maciej Bodnar and Michael Valgren aside.
-
Trek-Segafredo
- → Start and results list
- The captain of the team was the Dutchman Bauke Mollema , who has always been among the top ten on the tour since 2013. He was supported primarily by Fränk Schleck and Haimar Zubeldia , who also had top 10 results at Grand Tours. Fabian Cancellara drove his last Tour de France and could have achieved a stage win in one of the time trials. It was with this goal that Jasper Stuyven and Edward Theuns competed, who were to achieve a stage success via escape groups. Haimar Zubeldia took part in his 15th Tour of France since 2001 (no start in 2010) and was, after Sylvain Chavanel, the racing driver with the second most tour participations registered this year.

Tour itinerary
Route and stage plan
Grand Départ
For the first time in the history of the tour, the Grand Départ took place in north-west France , in the Manche department . The goal of the first stage was Utah Beach , where the Allied landings in Normandy took place during World War II .
Routing
There was no prologue and a team time trial in 2016.
The first and second stages were on the coast of the English Channel , with points for the mountain classification and an intermediate sprint to be won on both stages . The arrival of the second stage in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin was characterized by the fact that the riders had to cope with two short, steep climbs there. The second ascent to the suburb of La Glacerie , called "Côte de La Glacerie", of 6.5% on average and 14% at the top, was 1.9 km long and led from 12 m to 136 m height. This was followed by a short downhill stretch, and then gently uphill to the finish line. Stages three and four also belonged to the flat stages, but in the last third of the fourth stage there were already signs of change. The Haute-Vienne department , with the finish line in Limoges , was located in the north-western foothills of the Massif Central , which means that this stage at Bonnac-la-Côte reached its maximum height of 452 m, with a further 27.5 km to the finish 264 m height. Two intermediate sprints and further mountain classifications enabled the drivers to receive additional points and prize money on both stages. In stage five from Limoges to the Super Lioran winter sports station, there were a few mountains to climb and descents to master: the Pas de Peyrol (1589 m), the Col du Perthus (1309 m) and shortly before the finish, the Col de Font-de-Cère (1289 m). With the sixth stage , the tour left the Massif Central.
The high mountain stages in the Pyrenees began with the seventh stage . In this stage, only about 20 kilometers before the end of the stage, the riders expected a 12-kilometer category 1 climb to the Col d'Aspin (1490 m) with an average gradient of around 6.5 percent. While the ascent was only occasionally curvy, the following descent was very curvy and the roads were not very wide up to the entrance to Arreau . The eighth stage was even more demanding, as it had a category 2 climb to the Hourquette d'Ancizan (1564 m) and two category 1 climbs to the Col de Val Louron-Azet (1580 m) and the Col de Peyresourde (1569 m) . The further ascent to the Col du Tourmalet (2115 m) was even assigned to the HC category. On the ninth stage , at the Spanish starting point of Vielha e Mijaran , the ascent to Port de la Bonaigua (2072 m), a mountain in the 1st category, was followed by a descent over 1000 meters. The ascent to Port del Cantò (1721 m) began in a further 27 kilometers, and here too there was a descent of around 1000 meters in altitude. From the Andorian border town of Sant Julià de Lòria , at an altitude of about 900 meters, the race track ran on Carretera general 1 , which was built along the Valira River, to Andorra la Vella , where the intermediate sprint was. From there it went on to a mountain of the second and then one of the first category. On the Carretera general 3 , the stage led along the towns of Ordino , La Cortinada and El Serra and then switched to the Carretera d'Arcalis. A ten-kilometer serpentine led to the mountain arrival in the Arcalis winter sports area at 2240 m, this last ascent was rated in the HC category.
After a day of rest in Andorra, the riders finished the race in the Pyrenees with the climb to Port d'Envalira (2408 m), a mountain of the first category. On this tenth stage , the route to the Côte de Saint-Ferréol (359 m), seven kilometers from the stage destination in Revel (217 m), no longer had any ascent. With the 11th stage , the riders reached the Mediterranean at their destination in the city of Montpellier . One difficulty on this flat stage was the mistral , which meant that the riders had to expect strong crosswinds . The 12th stage was largely flat, only in the last few kilometers it turned into a high mountain stage, as the destination was Mont Ventoux (1912 m), a category H mountain in the Provencal Pre-Alps . Due to expected gusts of more than 100 km / h on Mont Ventoux, the original destination at an altitude of 1912 m was moved to the Chalet Reynard ski station at 1435 m. This shortened the stage by 6 kilometers to 178 kilometers.
The 13th stage was a 37.5-kilometer individual time trial on flat terrain. The stage began in Bourg-Saint-Andéol , in the Rhone Valley and thus again under the influence of the Mistral, and ran west to the finish near Vallon-Pont-d'Arc . The 14th stage was again a flat stage with three mountain ratings in the fourth category and a sprint rating.
With the 15th stage , the riders reached the Jura Mountains , part of the Alps. It has six mountain ratings, including one in category H, on the Grand Colombier (1531 m). However, the stage ended again in the flatlands at 238 m altitude in Culoz . The 16th stage , which reached its destination in Bern , Switzerland, was relatively flat, albeit at an altitude of almost 1,000 m. After a day of rest in Bern, the 17th stage led back into the high mountains, to the Swiss community of Finhaut . The stage was actually divided into two parts, because it also ran for around 25 kilometers along the Rhone Valley , near Lake Geneva , at an altitude of around 450 m. In front of the flat section, there were two mountain ratings of category three and then one of category one and one of category H at the destination. The 18th stage was a time trial over 17 kilometers, the difficulty being that the riders had to drive from Sallanches to Megève from 560 m to 1095 m, with the Côte des Chozeaux (1219 m) as the highlight. On the 19th stage , the category H ascent to the Montée de Bisanne (1723 m) and two category one climbs stood out. The 20th stage was the last stage in the Alps and thus also the last high mountain stage with mountain ratings of the 2nd, 1st and H categories, the latter a pass, the Col de Joux Plane (1691 m). The descents were also important on this stage, twice over around 1000 meters in altitude and finally over around 600 meters in altitude to reach the finish in Morzine .
The 21st stage , the last stage to Paris, was again a flat stage, with the finish line on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées .

On the first stages, which traditionally run through fairly flat terrain, sprinter Mark Cavendish (DDD), the most successful racing driver after stage wins on the Tour in recent years, was able to build on his sprint dominance from 2008 to 2012. In these years he won at least three tour stages. In the years 2013 to 2015 only three more were added. This year Cavendish won the 1st , 3rd and 6th stages and finished second behind Eddy Merckx and ahead of Bernard Hinault on the list of record stage winners at the Tour de France at the end of the week with a total of 29 successes . Thanks to his success on the first stage, Cavendish also won the first yellow and first green jerseys of the 103rd Tour of France.
The Slovak Peter Sagan (TNK), who had won the green jersey in the last four years, took Cavendish the lead in the overall as well as in the with the victory on the 2nd stage and the time and point bonuses awarded for it Scoring from. While Sagan stayed in yellow until the 5th stage, he fought a battle for green with Cavendish, during which the lead in this classification changed several times between the two. By the end of the week, Mark Cavendish was about 25 points clear of Sagan. Marcel Kittel (EQS), who won the 4th stage in the sprint , was also at the front of the points classification .
The 5th stage led to more mountainous terrain for the first time. It was decided from a breakaway group that the main field had previously given an unusually large lead. With an attack on the Col du Perthus won Greg Van Avermaet of Belgium, the stage and sat down in the standings with five minutes ahead of second-placed Julian Alaphilippe to the top. His former escape comrade and compatriot Thomas De Gendt (LTS) took the lead in the mountain classification, which had previously been led by Paul Voss (BOA) and Jasper Stuyven (TFS) with low scores from the flat stages. Julian Alaphilippe remained the best young driver, he had put on the white jersey for the first time after the second stage.
The fifth stage also ensured the first preliminary decisions with regard to the circle of favorites for the Tour victory: both Vincenzo Nibali (AST) already let go on the first steeper mountain and came over eight minutes behind the other class riders. He then said that he wanted to fully concentrate on helping Fabio Aru (AST). Also Contador (TNK), weakened by fall injuries from the first and second stage, to a time a residue acted.
After the flat sixth stage, stage 7 was the first high mountain section on the program. Greg Van Avermaet drove into the breakaway in the yellow jersey to avoid pushing his BMC team into the chase and was able to make up another 1:30 minutes on his pursuers in the overall standings. The section that led over the Col d'Aspin was won by Steve Cummings (DDD), who achieved his second Tour stage victory since 2015 . Vincenzo Nibali was also in the lead group and regained the group of favorites for about two minutes. Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) had problems , he lost three minutes to the favorites and with it the prospect of repeating his podium from 2014.
