For the second day in a row, sprinters will have the opportunity to shine with a practice stage this Tuesday at the Tour de France. Straight between Dax and Nogaro, 181.8 kilometers, easy to control for crews. One day after the group’s finish in Bayonne, the peloton will prepare to experience a second experience involving only the minor Demu level in the fourth category, 27 kilometers from the finish line.
There is little objective difficulty to prevent the teams of the “comers” from maxing out their machines and ending the fight between the bolids of the peloton. The cyclists’ legs will begin to show the first signs of fatigue after the first three days. It’s tough in the Basque Country. The favorites for the general classification will have to save up some energy to face the next day, the first of the two Pyrenean attacks, the first rendezvous in the high mountains.
- Mountain: Cote du Demu (4a), 2 kilometers at 3.5%. Efe
