Three weeks have passed since the Tour de France got underway in Lille Métropole and it’s almost time for the final push. The penultimate stage of the race sees riders forced to deal with near-constant undulation as they travel 184.2 km from Nantua to Pontarlier. The most notable ascent will be the Côte de Thésy which comes halfway through the stage and could create the perfect opportunity for a breakaway pack.
While plenty of riders in the pack will be seeking a stage win, the unrelenting Tadej Pogacar will be aiming to keep his sizeable advantage over Jonas Vingegaard. The Slovenian has been virtually untouchable this year and knows that one more strong ride will see him take a huge step towards winning his fourth Tour de France title.
