Day six from Giubiasco to Crans Montana also sees a big peak in the middle of the stage, but with the Hors Categorie Nufenenpass coming 108.4 kilometres from the finish, there will most likely be a sizeable regrouping before the final ramp up towards the line. This concluding second category climb to Route du Golf crests out with just under two kilometres to go but as it is approximately ten kilometres long, it could see some gaps open out if the big guns go full gas to the top.
