The 14th stage of the Tour de France between Saint-Étienne (Loire) and Mende (Lozère) is 192.5 km long. On Saturday July 16, the peloton will have to provide a constant effort, on a course, very green and hilly. This is the 27th time that Saint-Étienne has hosted the big loop and the 6th time for Mende. This stage could bring back memories: it was on this course that Laurent Jalabert won the 12th stage of the Tour de France in 1995.
According to Christian Prudhomme, director of the Tour de France, on this stage “You never peak very high, but the efforts are incessant to rally Saint-Étienne to Mende. This expedition through the Loire, Haute-Loire and Lozère will encourage the most robust backpackers to take action. Then in the ascent of the Croix-Neuve ‘montée Jalabert’ leading to the aerodrome, it is certainly a double battle that is preparing: between the breakaways, and then within the group of favorites.” Discover all the details of the route and the timetables for the 14th stage below.
