velonews.com - "The sprinters who survived the mountains will be set free once again in stage 18, a dead-flat affair from Salies-de-Béarn to Bordeaux. The most challenging aspect of this stage could be the weather, with heat-wave conditions common in the region this time of year.
Bordeaux is hosting a stage finish for the first time in seven years, the longest break since an eight-year absence during World War II. The last bunch finish in Bordeaux, in 1999, was won by Tom Steels ahead of Robbie McEwen and Erik Zabel."
