Route facts
Terrain
150–200 km controlled by the sprinters' teams and ending in a bunch gallop at close to 70 km/h.
Repeated short, steep climbs — the terrain of breakaways, punchers and classics riders.
Three to five categorised cols, frequently ending with a summit finish above 1,500 m.
Solo against the clock. Where the general classification is quietly decided.
Rarely used; the squad rides as one and takes the time of a designated rider.
Two per Tour, usually after weeks one and two, often preceded by a long transfer.
