00:25 This is the first stage of this edition, of this second edition. We will start from La Neusan.
00:31 We will arrive at the top of the Col du Tourmalet. Before that, there will still be the Col d'Aspen.
00:35 So really a very difficult, very short stage, over 90 km, very intense.
00:40 And the top of the Col du Tourmalet, we will pass through La Mangie.
00:44 There is a commune that is held by Emma Poully.
00:48 She is a girl I know very well since we ran together at the time of the Loto.
00:53 And obviously this long ascent of 17 km at more than 7% average will do damage.
00:59 And it will really be the decisive stage for the overall ranking,
01:03 where all the great climbers will be delighted to face the slopes of the famous Col du Tourmalet.
01:09 It was really important for us to come there from this second edition,
01:14 because we wanted to register a little more on the Tour de France Femmes,
01:17 in the history of the Tour, in general.
01:20 It is very long. First, it is world famous.
01:26 I think it's an ascent that you want to climb as soon as you're in the Pyrenees.
01:31 It is one of the most famous passes.
01:33 We went there a lot of times on the Tour de France.
01:37 And the last one was with Thibaut Pinot and his victory.
01:40 So I think we still have a special relationship, we French, with this Col du Tourmalet,
01:45 which brings back very fond memories.
01:47 And obviously for this second edition,
01:50 the great climbers would be delighted to be able to register their name at the top of the Tourmalet.
