We follow the mountain test leading from Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc to Courchevel in detail.
The duel between their Slovenian leader Tadej Pogaar and Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo Visma) went from a ten-second difference to a distance of one minute and 48 seconds in Dna’s favor.
The first two are my favorite, and the city of seduction should also be included in the overall event. Only because of the low profile and the necessary change of tactics in the UAE, which needs to create overwhelming pressure, the chances are not going down.
Only on graded climbs did the peloton cover 68 kilometers of the approximately 166-kilometer route. The program includes the top of the straight line, and 65 points can be collected in the summation about the crown of the mountains.
The grand finale offers the highest point of this Tour Col de la Loze. The entrance of the non-standard category (double points) with a length of 28 kilometers to an altitude of 2,304 meters has particularly brutal conditions. The average gradient of six percent rose to ten percent in the last five kilometers with an unbearable 24 percent maximum.
