2019 Tour de France: Stage 7 preview

Stage 7: Belfort - Chalon-Sur-Saone
Date: July 12, 2019
Distance: 230km
Stage type: Flat

After two days when the climbers have dominated the action, the sprinters should become the focus once again as the Tour begins a diagonal sweep from eastern France to the south-west with the longest stage of the race. Although there are three categorised climbs on the route, the last of them lies just beyond the halfway point and, as a consequence, they won't be a factor in the day's result.
