AUDE (11)
Storming the ramparts: As it did on the 2012 Tour,
the peloton will pass under the imposing towers
of Foix castle – but they’ll continue upwards for a
finish high above the medieval town.

How is the Tour route put together?
With the idea of ensuring a certain balance
and, if possible, to maintain suspense to
the end. To achieve this, we have to create
what could be described as ‘catch-up
sessions’. This stage is a typical one in that
mould, as it provides those leaders who lost
ground the day before with an opportunity
to get back into the contest. Much can
certainly be expected from the combination
of the Port de Lers, Mur de Péguère and
Prat d’Albis, which overlooks Foix. Overall,
the riders will accumulate 4 700m of
vertical gain on the eve of the second rest
day. It’s ideal for attackers.
