It’s flat, it’s flat, it’s very very flat. Transitioning stage on the Tour de France from Saint-Méen-le-Grand to Laval through the roads of Mayenne. Nothing a priori seems to be able to prevent the sprinters teams from controlling the race to offer a new explanation to their gladiators on an arrival in a righteous flat. Note, anyway, the small coast of Nuillé-sur-Vicoin, placed 15 kilometers from the finish and too little difficult to eliminate anyone.

The profile
The eye of Thierry Gouvenou, race director
“A little special because it is the first of the two massive sprints for a weekend, which is not at all in our habits but the route and on July 14 which falls on Monday forced us to adapt. We will have a tribute to Louison Bobet. A flat step, without any difficulty but the arrival is done after a small stiffness, then a long false flat. It is a sprint for powerful runners. We will have to bring an effort on the length ”.
