^ abcdRace organisers were forced to reroute the final two stages after facing pressure from local authorities and the mayor of Nice, who wanted to keep the Promenade des Anglais seafront open to the public as they looked to ease a local COVID-19 lockdown. As a result, the starts of stages 7 and 8, as well as the finish of stage 8, were relocated.[4]
