THE TACTICAL READ
WHO IT SUITS
Punchy climbers and French riders desperate for a home win on July 14. The string of short, steep walls suits an explosive attacker over a tempo grinder.
WHAT TO WATCH
An ambush. The repeated double-digit ramps over the Puy Mary and into Le Lioran are perfect for an attack from distance rather than a waiting game.
ROADMAN PREDICTION
Aggressive, unpredictable racing and a French rider throwing everything at it. Whether the GC favourites let the break go or fancy the bonus seconds decides if it is won from the front or behind.
