Back on the bike after a rest day for the riders. HAShilly rather than mountainousthe tenth stage of the Tour de France, Tuesday July 12, represents in a way a transition before the high mountain passes on Wednesday. After the start from Morzine (scheduled around 1:40 p.m.), the runners will chain passes with multiple difficulties, bordering Lake Geneva in particular, over more than 148 kilometers. With a negative elevation, the first moments of the race should be fast and favor a breakaway that could still go to the end.
The arrival at the Megève altiport, at the end of a 22 km gradient at an average of 4.2%, should be particularly suitable for adventurers. The few difficulties of the day not offering very high percentages, pure climbers should not really have the opportunity to take a considerable lead. Follow the step live.
