Stage 2: AVRANCHES > SAINT-BRIEUC 164,5 km Plain Profile Last Km First line stages and atipic stage for finisseurs... two GPM in the finish and wind on the side for all the 165 km... KOM: Côte des Violettes (4a categoria, 75 m, 1,3 km al 4,6%, km 161); Côte de Saint-Brieuc (4a categoria, 101 m, 1,2 km al 6,6%, arrivo) SPRINT PMU: Erquy (km 125)
Stage 4: BREST > LORIENT 156,5 km Plain Profile Last Km Stage 4 will be one of the stages for pure sprinters. The only "risk" today will be the Brittany wind....
STAGE 6: LES HERBIERS > BRESSUIRE ITT 55,5 km Plain Profile Last Km Surprise of this Tour de France. The big and long flat crono won't be after the Mountains, on penultimate day, but before them on the day 6.
