00:00It's special because we all have in mind the 1989 script with Phineon Lemon, and it's
00:25special because it doesn't take place in Paris, it's special because it will take place
00:29in an incredible environment, on the edge of the Mediterranean, with extraordinary landscapes,
00:35and it's special because it's difficult.
00:37We will have 650 meters of descents over 33 kilometers, and we will have long ascents.
00:43As soon as we leave Monaco, we will have to climb for more than 8 kilometers to reach
00:47Turbi.
00:48After that, we will continue with the Col d'Aise, on the most difficult side, and on this
00:55Col d'Aise we have a Comme Strava held by Pogacar, and finally we will have a faster part
01:02to go down to Nice, and a flat portion to finish on the Promenade des Anglais, so
01:08really an interesting cocktail, and at the end of the Tour de France, in the third week,
01:13with so many difficulties, I think that only the leaders of the general ranking will be able to
01:19impose themselves.
01:20I don't see a chrono specialist making an exploit on this kind of course.
01:25Of course, when you are at the top and you want to finish at the seaside, there must be
01:28descents.
01:29They are fast, not necessarily hyper-technical, but the ability to go down well will count
01:35as well.
01:36If it was decided to do a countdown in the last stage, it is with the hope that there
01:41is still a match for the final victory.
01:43This is the hope of the organisers, but then again, it is the drivers who will die
01:47throughout the three weeks.
01:48Find on the Tour de France Club and on Strava all the official routes of the Tour de France.
