New yellow jersey after his number Sunday in Nice, and with a 4-second lead in the standings over Adam Yates, Julian Alaphilippe should keep the precious tunic on Monday. The third stage, which will lead the peloton from Nice to Sisteron (198 kilometers), will initially present a rugged profile which perfectly matches its qualities. But the final part will above all offer an opportunity for the sprinter teams to carve out the lion’s share. As they will not be numerous in this 2020 Tour, it is hard to believe that this stage will escape them. Unless there is a racing incident, Alaphilippe should therefore have a rather quiet day.
