SAT. JULY 5 β 184.9 km β FLAT
COUCH RATING: ποΈποΈ
Flat and windy, with just enough northern spice to make the Grand DΓ©part worth watching. A sprinter is gonna be in yellow after this day, and I'm thinking it's Tim.

TIM MERLIER

COUCH RATING: ποΈποΈποΈ
Longest stage of the race, roller coaster from start to finish with 2,550 meters of climbing. Kilometer-long uphill finish, gonna be spicy one!

MON. JULY 7 β 178.3 km β FLAT
COUCH RATING: ποΈποΈ
Could be a snooze-fest or a wind-fuelled bonanza. Could go crazy on the CΓ΄te de Cassel, but I donβt think itβs hard enough to drop the sprinters.
