Summary: With four solid climbs spread across just 132.8 km of racing, stage 20 should be an entertaining finale for the climbers β and the descenders too. There is not a whole lot of flat on the profile, and the break β which could form on the slopes of the Col de Braus and thus be full of climbers β has a great chance of going the distance.
Fantasy favorites: Tadej PogaΔar said that he would let the breakaway have this one. If you believe him, you should look to the in-form climbers that can go up the road without drawing the ire of the GC riders as the stage 20 favorites. We like Richard Carapaz, Simon Yates, Enric Mas, Matteo Jorgenson, Felix Gall, Derek Gee, and even Mikel Landa, who is 15 minutes back even though he is fifth overall. Of course, don’t be shocked if PogaΔar changes his mind and catches all of them.
