The terrain selected for passage through the Jura, prior to race’s entry into Switzerland, isn’t designed to favour the climbers. Their time will come. However, the puncheurs who specialise in explosive efforts should relish a short and steep climb that’s new to the Tour: this springboard counting 1 kilometre with a 12% incline will launch the pick of them towards potential success on the heights above “the Olympic capital”.
