technical info

A rather rough stage despite the absence of long or very demanding climbs. The road climbs gradually to Courmayeur and then heads back to Aymavilles, tackling the first KOM of the day after Arvier. The peloton skirts the south bank of the Dora Baltea with continuous ups and downs and changes of direction. After an initial passage close to the finish area, the riders will climb to the Côte de Champ des Vignes at 8 km to go, before tackling the last descent and the short stretch leading to the finish.
Last kilometres
The last 3 km begin slightly downhill but the last kilometre is constantly uphill with a short 6% ramp ending about 250 m from the finish line. Final straight slightly uphill.
