Wait… is that…?

…..the Galibier on stage 4?

Yup, that’s absolutely it, believe it or not. Early moment of truth for Vingegaard and the others whose form we are unsure of.

Estimated finish time: 17:05-17:35 CEST

Early climbing legs of the Day: Tadej Pogačar

Short-ish sharp climb, not a huge mountain day, should be right up Pog’s alley.
