Two days before the end of the Tour, the giants of the Pyrenees are concentrated in one single stage: the Aspin, Tourmalet, Soulor and Aubisque. Rather than finishing in Pau after a too-long flat section following the climbs, the line will be drawn right at the end of the descent off the Aubisque in Laruns.
The beginning of that descent is fast, but the second part is technical. With 30 seconds' advantage at the top, a good descender wouldn't be caught. And that means that the overall classification could yet be reshuffled, although the GC contenders might be hoping to save any remaining energy for the time trial the next day day.
