Through the vineyards of the Dordogne to Bergerac. Another stage for the sprinters, though a nervous, technical finale can catch out a lead-out train that mistimes its move.
THE TACTICAL READ
WHO IT SUITS
Sprinters with bike-handling and a sharp lead-out — the technical finale rewards skill as much as raw speed.
WHAT TO WATCH
The timing of the lead-out through the final corners. A train that commits early into the technical run-in can be swamped; one that mistimes it leaves its sprinter exposed.
ROADMAN PREDICTION
Another sprint, but a messier one. Expect a different winner from Bordeaux as the trains get the finale wrong and an opportunist pounces.
