In a first for the Tour, organizers have left the final, decisive mountain stage to the penultimate day ahead of the finish on the Champs-Élysées. The peloton leaves the capital of the nougat industry and rolls over four categorized climbs – three Category 3 and one Category 4 – most likely reaching the base of the hors-categorie climb at Mount Ventoux largely intact. The final battleground for the maillot jaune, the 21.6km climb to this year’s third mountaintop finish atop “The Bald Mountain” should see major fireworks as those trailing in the overall make a last ditch attempt to move up the classification. This monument of cycling has seen a Tour stage climb its 7.6 percent slopes seven times and a first-time winner will emerge on the storied summit on July 25.
