(Reuters) - The 2021 Tour de France will start in Brittany after Copenhagen's staging of the 'Grand Depart' was pushed back by a year due to a potential clash with soccer's postponed European Championship, race organisers said on Monday.

Brittany will also host the first four full stages of the race.
