The profile of the seventh stage of the Tour de France 2023. ASO
Finally some respite. After two high mountain stages, the Tour de France 2023 peloton finds a flat profile. The seventh stage, Friday July 7, starts from Mont-de-Marsan to reach Bordeaux, over a course of 170 kilometers.
“The visit of the Landes department leaves little hope for breakaways on a profile inviting the sprinters’ teams to control the race”, warned Christian Prudhomme, the race director, before the big start. Only one climb is actually listed on the route: that of Béguey (1.2 kilometers at 4.4%, 4th category), located 39 kilometers from the finish.
It will then be very difficult to escape a new massive sprint like in Bayonne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) and Nogaro (Gers), two stages won by Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck). After a few tight bends that will have to be negotiated with caution in Bordeaux, the sprinter trains will then have a long straight line of 2 kilometers on the banks of the Garonne, until the finish, located in front of the Place des Quinconces.
