Tuesday 22: 12:10–12h40 → 16:45–17:15

This first stage of the last sequence is made of a long and boring approach that manages to avoid every hill available, before the Mont Ventoux as single and final climb.

Given the profile, and the fact that it comes after a rest day, we may see many explosions on the first slopes of the Ventoux. Luckily, no hot weather is expected.

Unless someone abandons during the rest day, there should still be 166 riders in the race (out of 184 starting on the first day).
