As usual, this event, which crosses France almost diagonally, will offer riders and followers a gradual increase in difficulty, punctuated in the middle by a team time trial in Nièvre. The summit finish at La Loge des Gardes, in the middle of the week, will also be a highlight of the race.

The general classification should become clearer during the final weekend, with a mountain stage towards the Auron resort, then around Nice for the last day. Unless Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard has already settled everything before the Alpes-Maritimes. Sprinters and punchers will also have their roles to play in this eight-act scenario, both for certain finishes and for the echelons that often animate the race.
