They come back, and they’re not happy. After yesterday’s disappointment, where their teams took too long to complete the last meters which separated the peloton from the breakaways, the sprinters will certainly want to take revenge at Poligny. The terrain is however conducive to attempts, especially with the Ivory Coast (2.4 km at 6%) located 30 terminals from the finish. We can hope for a coup de force from the punchers, even if Christian Prudhomme believes in it means: “It is not this hill that will prevent the sprinters from taking advantage of a gigantic launch track, a little more than 8 kilometers of final straight line”, says the director of the Tour in the presentation of the stage. Make the boss lie, gentlemen.
