Elevation profile

Stage preview

The sprinters get their day back, even if breakaway riders rarely have the numbers on their side over this kind of terrain crossing the Allier and Nievre rivers. A lucky combination heading into Nevers is still worth trying.

Stage favourites

Stage 11 (Vichy → Nevers, 161.3 km) is a flat sprint stage with 653 m of cumulative climbing. The peloton will almost certainly arrive together and the finish will come down to the pure sprinters and their lead-out trains.

⚡ Watch for the lead-out trains forming in the final 3 km, and for any crosswind splits that might splinter the peloton before the sprint.
