Mulhouse → Le Markstein

Elevation profile

Stage preview

Out of Mulhouse and straight up the Grand Ballon, this stage's real secret is the new climb to La Hoye -- a converted forest cycle path, 11.2 km at an irregular 7.3% -- with six kilometres still to go to Le Markstein after that.

Stage favourites

Stage 14 (Mulhouse → Le Markstein, 155.3 km) is a mountain stage with 4,602 m of cumulative climbing — one of the race's queen stages. Pure climbers capable of sustaining high power output on long ascents are the ones to watch.

⚡ The real race begins on the final climb. Any rider distanced before the summit will lose significant time on GC rivals.
