Elevation profile

Stage preview

Third-week sprinters need to survive the modest but persistent climbs through the Bauges massif and the Chartreuse before they can show what they've got left in Voiron.

Stage favourites

Stage 17 (Chambery → Voiron, 174.7 km) is a flat sprint stage with 2,361 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.
