Alexander Kristoff for the double? Bryan Coquard for a French double? The return of Peter Sagan? Caleb Ewan's? The profile of the stage suggests an explanation for the sprint on the Avenue de la Liberation near Sisteron, for the first time the city of arrival of a stage on the Grande Boucle. Unless the hilly course (3,100 m of elevation gain), punctuated by the ascent of three category 3 passes and one last listed in category 4, does favor a number of backpackers.

In very great difficulty at the start of the stage on Sunday, a time on the verge of elimination and arrived almost 18 minutes after Alaphilippe, the Breton will take the start of the third stage on Monday. On the twitter account of his Groupama-FDJ team, David Gaudu was reassuring about his health: “It's reassuring because nothing is broken (he has been hit in the sacrum since a fall during the first stage). It is also reassuring because as the stage progresses the pain subsided. I was very, very scared and I think the team too. ” Thibaut Pinot certainly in the front line, for whom the abandonment of his fetish lieutenant would have been a terrible blow.
