There are three small climbs, which are valid for the fourth category mountain Grand Prix, and a sprint with points for the classification of the green jersey. We are on the Jutland peninsula, the westernmost area of ​​the country, but the group will be less exposed to the wind than the previous day. So it should be easier for sprinter formations to control the race to get to the sprint. As in all the stages in line, at the finish line there are bonuses for the classification: 10 “, 6” and 4 “. The finish line is not far from the German border. After the stage, with some charter flights, the whole caravan in the late evening will move to Lille, France, where on Monday 4th July there will be the first of three days of rest.
