Route summary: Stage 3 will take the Tour from Spain into France, and it will tackle a Cat. 1 along the way before ending with a Cat. 3 uphill finish. The Les Angles climb isn't especially hard, but a finish at 6.5% could once again set up the puncheurs to fight for the win.
Just as was the case for stage 2, the GC riders can't be counted out of that battle either – although there's also a chance that a break could have a shot. Even by this point in the race, there are riders far enough back in the standings to get some breathing room there. That makes the stage particularly hard to predict.
