Route summary: The Tour's second stage will give the puncheurs a shot at yellow. Once again, the Montjüic will play a key role in the stage. This time, riders will climb up to the castle atop the hill, a 1.6 km ascent at 9.3%, and they'll do it three times as part of a circuit. That circuit will give the stage the feel of a hilly classic.
