Saturday 19: 12:00–12:15 → 17:05–17:45

The second and last mountain stage in the Pyrénées. A flat start, and then a hell of 4 passes in a row with little (false) flat in between, starting with the Tourmalet and including climbing Peyresourde again from the same side (not sure Evenepoel will fancy coming back on this slope!).

Weather shall be significantly cooler than on the previous days, and it should be drizzling.

Beware: the stage starts earlier than usual (still not in the morning, though).

And he abandons, along with Skeljmose! Very dramatic opening to this stage.

Pyrénées are Evenepoel's kryptonite.
