The hilly terrain in the final 40 kilometers, with the ascents of Côte de Blachon (1.5km at 6.9%) and Côte de Simacourbe (1.8km at 6.4%) could pose a problem for those fast men who don't feel comfortable in the hills.
In 2018, Arnaud Démare won the Pau stage ahead of Christophe Laporte, marking a French 1-2 finish at the Tour for the first time in 40 years.
