The 111th edition of the Tour de France It features four stages that exceed 200 kilometers, this Monday’s stage on the third day of the race is the one with the largest mileage, reaching 230 kilometers.
One of the so-called transition days after the demands of the previous stage and the great challenge that awaits all the runners, especially the favorites on the first big day of the high mountains with climbing the Galibier.
A priori, stage now, in between Plaisance and Turin, has all the ingredients to decide the sprint. The profile is relatively flat, although it is true that it has three fourth-category elevations that cyclists looking to build a getaway can take advantage of.
However, the sprinters’ teams have everything in mind so that their fastest men can compete for victory, in what will be the first mass sprint of this edition of the Tour. A day where all eyes, if the sprint is reached, are on Isle of Man cyclist Mark Cavendish, because if he wins he will make history. follow‘Cav’ will break the tie to Belgian cycling legend Eddy Merckxwith him the honor of being the cyclist with the most stage wins in the Grande Boucle: 34.
