After the fireworks of the Puy Mary and before facing the Alps, the 107th edition of the Tour de France takes a break in its fourteenth stage, between Clermont Ferrand and Lyon, a day crowned with a rough end that can give adventurers options to frustrate a new sprint.
The 194 kilometers are constantly dotted with low intensity passes, except for the second category Béal, which is very far from the finish line.
But the final stretch of the day is quite bumpy, compared by the organizers with the Milan-San Remo.
The suitors to the general will have to be attentive to any eventuality in this section, while a break or a last-minute adventure can seek the triumph of the stage.
Otherwise, Lyon will once again experience a grouped arrival in which the fastest of the peloton will play the victory, a classic in a city that has hosted the Tour de France 18 times, including its first edition in 1903.
Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) will continue his defense of the yellow jersey on the way to Lyon. The Slovenian has 44 seconds ahead of his compatriot Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) and 59 over the Colombian Egan Bernal (Ineos). Also Colombian Rigoberto Urán (Education First) and Nairo Quintana (Arkéa-Samsic) are just over 1 minute from the yellow jersey.
The peloton will depart from Clermont Ferrand at 1:20 p.m. (CEST) and its arrival in Lyon is scheduled for 5:57 p.m.
