The race sees both its longest stage and first mountain stage in its seventh day. Riders face five categorized climbs, culminating with this year’s first and highest mountaintop finish atop the hors-category climb to the Arcalis ski station. The mid-stage Category 1 climb of Col de Serra-Seca should separate the field, but with almost 100 kilometers to the finish, a large group should arrive at the base of the finishing climb. The climb to Arcalis is 10.6 kilometers in length with an average grade of seven percent over a wide, well-engineered road, an anomaly in the Pyrénéan mountains.
