Will Remco Evenepoel will make the weight?
The road will then rise more to the second intermediate point in Loudenvielle 3.3 km from the finish. The runners will then tackle the steepest slopes including a maximum slope 16% 900 meters from the line.
Winner of the time of the 5th stage in Caen, Remco Evenepoel (Sudal Quick-Step) will once again be talking about his roller qualities but on a terrain which seems more conducive to the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates-XRG), carrier of the yellow jersey, and to the Danish Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike).
The Frenchman Mattéo Vercher will be the first runner to set off from Loudenvielle at 1:10 p.m. Remco Evenepoel will start at 5:01 p.m., Jonas Vingegaard at 5:03 p.m. and Tadej Pogacar, who took over the yellow jersey Thursday at the Hautacam top, will be the last to leave at 5:05 p.m.

Hello everyone
The Tadej Pogacar Gluton swallowed up all its competitors this Thursday in Hautacam.
This time, it is a time trial in this terrible Pyrenean tryptic which stands in front of the runners.
A step that seems to be cut again for the Slovenian, even if Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel did not say their last word.
What to remember from the 12th step
The Slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates-XRG) won the 12th stage of the Tour de France run Thursday over 180.6 km between Auch and Hautacam. The world champion also recovers the yellow jersey from the general classification of the shoulders of the Irishman Ben Healy (EF Education-Easypost), arrived more than 13 minutes after Pogacar.
Not embarrassed by his fall in the final of the 11th stage Wednesday, Pogacar deposited Armiral 11 km from the line to spin solo towards the 102nd victory of his career, the 14th this season. The world champion also pockets his 20th stage victory over the big loop, the 3rd this year.
The Danish Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike) took 2nd place at 2:10 ahead of the German Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), 3rd at 2:23. Evenepoel crossed the line in 7th position at 3:35.
In the general classification, Pogacar has 3:31 ahead of Vingegaard and 4:45 on Evenepoel who saves his place on the podium and takes the lead in the ranking of the best young.
