Stage map and profile
A rolling, twisting, long time trial with some nasty drags, plenty of bends and a net loss in altitude of over 300m. This is a serious day for the GC, and the parcours looks nothing like a typical Tour long TT. It will be as much a test of concentration and bike handling as of cycling strength.
