The Jalabert climb as a final bouquet. The menu promises to be plentiful in this 14th stage of the Tour de France between Saint-Etienne (Loire) and Mende (Lozère). The very hilly stage should still be a headache for the sprinters but give ideas to the punchers and climbers. To win in the aerodrome after the Côte de la Croix Neuve (3 km at 10.2%), you will necessarily have to be strong.
Before that, the peloton will have to go through four third category climbs on a very demanding course. Adventurers are expected, but a rider like Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), who is more than two minutes behind Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), could want to aim for a third stage victory on this Grande Boucle.
