This has been missed out since when Vincenzo Nibali dominated Le Grand Boucle and incidentally that was the same race that featured the last proper cobbled stage, where the shark put time into his rivals they'd never get back. There is only one time-trial outside of that initial prologue, but it is a beauty. A whole 40km will stand between despair and glory in Paris the next day, the perfect distance for some big changes.
It will probably also be the first time we get to see the young Slovenian on cobbles — provided he doesn't ride the Tour of Flanders or Paris-Roubaix, which is likely — and from there we can make our conclusions on whether he'll reach true GOAT status down the line.
Rumour also has it that Wout van Aert will be properly targeting the green jersey for the first time with not a huge number of sprints on offer, so expect him to light those up as well as the stages other sprinters can't touch.

After an early rest day for the transfer the riders will traverse the most northern area of France starting in Dunkerque before looping round the region and coming back up to the coast to finish in Calais. Christian Prudhomme has warned in his notes that there are plenty of hills along the way to discourage sprinters as well as the potential for crosswinds as the race runs alongside the Channel.
The last time we got this kind of action was in when John Degenkolb took the win in Roubaix itself. There had to be a stage for Julian Alaphilippe, it's in the contract.
It's quite literally back and bigger than ever. Hopefully this will be the first time to see who's got climbing legs and potentially an early Pog and Rog showdown back where it all kicked off in There are two things to note about the finish to this stage, firstly it's in Switzerland and secondly it's another one for the puncheurs. It's the first of two days that dip across the border and Stage 8 comes into Lausanne — described as 'the administrative capital of world sport — with a 4.
The first week comes to a conclusion as the peloton crests a few Swiss beasts in the Col des Mosses, Col de la Croix and the Pas de Morgins, with the latter taking us back across the border into France. The doors of the sun are also the doors of the next rest day. Week two doesn't hang about, although this is described as a hilly stage it finishes up the Stage 11 is one for the TV.
