The edition also has a tough time to reach Tignes, in the Alps, and a double ascent of Mont Ventoux, although the “Giant of Provence” will not have the goal.
The edition will begin on June 26 in Brest, a city that has launched the race three times, a record only surpassed by Paris, with a bumpy stage and where the wind can play a role, which augurs that an “adventurer” will take over. the first yellow.
The next day, the stage will be marked by a double ascent to the British Wall, which will host the first of the three top goals of the edition, before giving way to two stages for sprinters, in which the wind can also change. the intended script.
