Stage 7 (Hagetmau → Bordeaux, 175.1 km) is a flat sprint stage with 2,053 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.
