The stage is set for a major mountain stage that’s likely to provide a definitive list of contenders for the Yellow Jersey. Battle will undoubtedly commence on the climb up to Le Salève via the Col de la Croisette, which features close to five kilometres of relentless ascent at an average of 11.2%. For the final showdown, the riders will climb to the Plateau de Solaison on a narrow road that rises through the villages in the Bornes massif. Extending to 11.3km and averaging 9.1%, it’s a springboard towards glory.
