The peloton faces, after the first rest day, a “leg-breaking” day between those peaks that will give a truce to the fight for the general
The Tour continues through Auvergne, a land of volcanoes, and after the first day of rest it proposes a leg-breaker stage between those peaks that will give truce to the fight for general and they are favorable terrain for a getaway.
The 167.2 kilometers between the Vulcania amusement park and Issoire contain a drop of 3,100 with four third-class climbs and one second-class climb, although the last one is very far from the finish line, on descending terrain, which opens an option to the “sprint”.
But everything indicates that a getaway can succeed on this day that will also be marked by the high temperatures which will be registered.
