T T H H E E S R T O A U G T E E S STAGE 20 ALBERTVILLE > VAL THORENS Saturday 27 July • 130km • Mountains ASSEMBLY 13:30 at Cours de l’Hôtel de Ville NEUTRAL START 13:35 at Cours de l’Hôtel de Ville ACTUAL START 13:45 at D925, 3.1km from assembly point DREAMING IN YELLOW! At the start in Albertville, where will we be after exactly three weeks of racing? We, and you as well, no doubt, are obviously dreaming of a situation where the title is still up for grabs – but will that still be the case? Logic suggests the yellow jersey will attempt to control the race on the 33km climb to Val Thorens. Or, if he really is dominating, that he will try to affirm his supremacy definitively, and in so doing will serve up an impressive show of panache... Or will we perhaps witness a final and unexpected twist? Let’s dream a little!
