00:00Stage 18 of the Tour de France begins in Gap, a 179.5 kilometre stage with 3,100 metres of elevation.
00:08Today's stage will be the last potential opportunity for a victory for the breakaway,
00:12before heading into three stages where the general classification favourites will likely duel it out between them.
00:18There are five climbs on the menu, but all of them are third category.
00:21However, the nature of the parkour will favour breakaway artists.
00:25EF Education were rewarded with their breakaway risk yesterday,
00:28but 11 teams are without victory so far and time is running out.
00:32Bahrain victorious will hope that Matty Mohoric can deliver,
00:35whilst Lidl Track have had a very quiet Tour, Tom Squinge could be their man.
00:39Wout van Aert might be afforded a last opportunity,
00:41whilst Ola Lanscano could salvage Movistar's Tour de France.
00:46Either way, the stage into Barcelona won't disappoint and it'll be action all the way.
