Cavendish wins stage 19 as Ventoux looms

A transition stage to the uncharacteristically late stage 20 battle on Mount Ventoux, the race to Aubenas features two early Category 4 climbs and two intermediate sprints before the final climb over the Category 2 Col de l’Escrinet. Overall contenders should see this stage as an opportunity to conserve between the final time trial and the penultimate stage on Mount Ventoux, creating an opportunity for an early breakaway to stay away to the finish beneath the Aubenas castle in the Ardèche region of southeastern France.
