The French race will end in the mountains, at Gran Colombier, where the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team) will seek to cut time on the leader, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), in the fight for the yellow jersey.

This will be the stage

The route will be mostly flat, with peaks of a maximum of approximately 300 masl; however, the stress will begin in Hauteville-Lompnes, a peak that reaches 771 meters and will have an intermediate sprint episode at the same top. This will be witnessed in the 87.3 km of the test.
