Stage 12 – Briançon to Alpe d’Huez 165.1km
Today’s stage starts in beautiful Briançon, goes all the way to Sainte-Jean-de-Maurienne, and then up again to Galibier. After, down to Valloire via Télégraphe towards the beginning of a very long climb to the mountain price on the Col de la Croix de Fer. 29 kilometers of uphill, a climb rode many times on the Tour. And then the end, a climb that many wondered when it would return. Alpe d’Huez with a vast crowd and a bit of a tricky riot. We have been waiting for this final for four long years,” says Vacchi.
The broadcast starts on Eurosport at 13:20. Neutralized start at 13:05. Expected arrival at 17:55.
