Route summary: Given that the sprinters have lost their traditional Champs-Elysées finale again this year (and they can't be sure they'll make it through the Alps anyway), this will be a coveted last opportunity for a bunch kick – but not a guaranteed one. Four categorized climbs in the first half of the stage will likely spring a breakaway with a real chance of going the distance unless the teams of the fast finishers can organize a committed chase.
