The route takes in Côte de Brié (2.4 kilometres at 6.9%), Côte de Sainte-Eulalie-en-Royans (1.5 kilometres at 4.9%) and a number of non-classified climbs. All ascents are crested with tens of kilometres to go, so in theory the uphills should not worry the fast men. Yet, the Tour de France has passed the halfway mark, energy is going down, and the fastest men have left the race. It wouldn’t be the first time if the breakaway would snatch the stage honours from the jaws of a chasing peloton.
