In his assertion, the director of probably the most well-known biking race, Christian Prudhomme, within the historical past of the Tour de France, admitted that cyclists needed to climb 3,600 meters of altitude within the first stage.
Even final 12 months, the primary battle for the yellow jersey was marked by mountain climbers, however this 12 months’s opening guarantees an much more difficult stage, however extra attention-grabbing for the viewer.
There may even be a struggle for a lot of climber factors, as there are three mountain costs within the third class and three costs within the second class on the route from Florence to Rimini.
Cyclists may even go to the territory of San Marín, the place the final climb of the day is accomplished. After that, it is 26 kilometers to the end line (downhill and flat), so you possibly can anticipate a small group dash or a solo victory.
