Today’s Tour de France stage was classic, both in profile and region. The 206km stage 7 would cover four categorised climbs before the fast finish into Albi taken by Peter Sagan (Cannondale). It’s the last day in the (relatively) flat country before the 2013 Tour de France heads into the Pyrenees tomorrow for the category 1 summit finish at Ax-3-Domaines.
