The opinion of Jean-François Pescheux: For an "old" rogue
"This is the beginning of the last week. The route passes through Gap, crossed the Col de Manse, descends and returns to the finish line after a short loop. As we head into the Alps, the stage, obviously, is not flat but is not very hard either, slightly uphill. It will be a runner for more style or Flecha Garcia Acosta, short for old rogues who spend less correctly collar. Attention, it often happens something after the second rest day, even the unexpected. In 2003, we remember that to avoid being caught in the fall of Beloki, Lance Armstrong had engaged in a dramatic sequence of cyclocross across the fields.
