Image 1 of 4

The Paris-Nice regulars will be racing over familiar terrain on stage 20, but that won’t make things any easier if the contest for the Yellow Jersey is still raging, particularly over such a short distance of 132.8km. 

After heading North from Nice, the battle could commence as early as the climb to the Col de Braus (19km at 6.6%), 25 kilometres into the stage. There will then be no respite on the climbs of the eastern side of Col de Turini (20.7km at 5.7%), Col de la Colmiane (7.5km at 7.1%) and finally Col de la Couillole, the final ascent extending for 15.7km at an average gradient of 7.1%.
