Stage 6 is almost a transition between the flatter parcours at the beginning of the week and the high mountains that the riders will face this weekend. There might be 5 categorised climbs today but stage 8 has over 50% more total elevation gain in the 3 classified ascents. The gradients are higher too; 6.4% average on stage 8 compared to 5.8% today. It's going to be a grand finale!
