6 km – Squiban is fast on its way to this year’s first French stage victory.

Still 14 km – Bonus seconds can also be earned on the slightly rising finish: 10, 6 and 4 seconds. Since Demi Vollering lost the Tour at 4 seconds last year, she will stir in the battle for this advantage.

Another 28 km – The Col du Chansert is over. There is no longer a categorized climb, but it will not feel towards Valcivières. After a climb of bonus seconds you can earn for the general classification, so maybe the rankings are still stirring.
