Christian Prudhomme, the director of the Tour de France, expects a stage reserved for riders and sprinters. “We can expect that with the Greens, an important episode could be played out in the battle for the jersey of the same tone. The profile without major roughness theoretically allows teams mobilized on the objective of a sprint finish to carry out their project. On this type of stage, the breakaways will have little room for manoeuvre, but all hope is allowed to them.” Discover all the details of the route and the timetables below.
