Phase Three of the 93rd Tour de France kicks off on this transitional day before the second rest day. Look for the road to Gap to hot, hard and fast with a tailwind, and the 5.2km 5% grade of the Col de la Sentinelle starting just 15km from the finish on the tree shaded Ave. Marechal Foch in Gap will be the decider. No contenders will be in evidence at the end, but look for Francaise de Jeux's Phillipe Gilbert to score a stage win here.
