It is particularly significant because, contrary to tradition, we’ve chosen not to put it at the end of the race, but right in the middle, like a tipping point. This 27.2km solo test is divided into two parts, the first peppered with a few climbs over 15km and the second much more rolling all the way into the finish. In Pau, we’ll also celebrate a glorious anniversary, as it’s the centenary of the yellow jersey, which was first worn by Eugène Christophe on 19 July 1919. TIMETABLE To ride LIKE CLOCKWORK KILOMETRES
