Perhaps the most difficult start to the Tour de France in recent years is documented by the second stage of the Old Lady.

The traditional prediction of race director Christian Prudhomme, which he publishes before the start of the entire Grand Tour, speaks clearly this time and does not record the sprinters much. “The sprinter who takes the yellow jersey after the first stage will have a damn hard time. A big premiere awaits us with two hills that are over 1500 meters. If he stays there, then he still has to be ready for the final hike on the Col d’Eze. “
