Saint-Gaudens to Saint-Lary Pla d'Adet
Wednesday, July 23rd / 124.5 km /
Short, yes. Easy, no way. The 125km run from Saint-Gaudens to Saint-Lary-Soulon Pla d'Adet is packed with punch. After a 40km opening spin, the profile rises and falls like a set of ocean waves. Three cat. 1 climbs precede the final test, the 10.2km hors categorie Pla d'Adet (average grade 8.3%). This could easily be the most decisive stage of the race, both for the yellow jersey hunters and the green jersey-coveting fast men, who will simply be fighting not to be eliminated by the time cut.
Our pick: Look for another breakaway to go to the line, and give the win to Frenchman Thomas Voeckler who came oh so close the day before.
