Wednesday: Opportunities for Van der Poel
The masseurs of the teams will have worked overtime on the day of rest, because the start of the second Tour week promises to be explosive. On paper, the ride to and from Toulouse does not seem too heavy, but with two venomous hills in the final the springs of the peloton smell their chance. Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogacar look like contenders. Can Van der Poel strike in this tour for the second time?
Thursday: First arrival in Pyrenees
It took a while, but the riders are finally looking for the high mountains. The Tour organization immediately selected one of the toughest climbs from the Pyrenees: the Hautacam. Rivals Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard kept each other on the Collets so far. Can Vingegaard make up for its backlog of more than a minute on Pogacar here?
Friday: Short and venomous climb time trial
If the heavy mountain rit to the Hautacam has not caused differences in the general classification, this climb time trial will do so. The race against the clock is not very long, but can turn the rankings upside down. The riders receive an 8 -kilometer climb to Peyragudes for the wheels, with strips of 16 percent. A flask in the hand of Pogacar, who put his rival Vingegaard in the flat time trial in Caen on a hefty backlog.
Saturday: The second toughest Tour ride
It seems unlikely that the Tour organization is familiar with the ketchup theory of former top striker Ruud van Nistelrooij, but the ride schedule of this Tour is reminiscent of that. In this Tour de France it is a long wait for heavy mountain stages, but they follow each other rapidly once they are there.
After the ride to the Hautacam and the climb time trial follows a new trip through the Pyrenees this day. With 4,950 meters and the climb of the legendary Col du Tourmalet, it is the second heaviest stage in this Tour.
Sunday: Ride for the attackers
After the climbing violence in the Pyrenees, the riders seem to be able to rest in the last ride before the second day of rest. That will not apply to the ride hijackers. For them, this transition stage to Carcassonne in southeastern France is an excellent chance of daily success. The climb of the Pas du Sant at 50 kilometers from the line will be the sparrow in this ride.
