There is no rest for the weary at the Tour de France, and after a brutal day in the mountains to the Col de la Loze on Thursday, the peloton will tackle another daunting day of racing on stage 19 into La Plagne on Friday.
The 129.9km race from Albertville to La Plagne, marks the second day of racing in the Alps. It will be an unrelenting day in the saddle for the riders, especially with their tired legs after stage 18. They will cover a total of five categorised ascents, two of them hors categorie: Col du Pré and La Plagne, in what yellow jersey wearer Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) called the ‘second queen stage’ of the race.
