The second day in the Pyrénées covers three categorized climbs as the Tour returns to France for the finish in Saint-Girons. The stage begins with the Category 1 climb to Port d’Envalira, which should break the peloton apart over 23 kilometers of five percent slopes. The Category 2 climb to Col de Port and Category 1 climb to Col d’Agnès in the Ariège region of France should create more separation at the front of the race, although the 43 kilometer run-in to the finish following the final climb should see a group arrive in Saint-Girons for the town’s first-ever Tour stage finish.
