15:45 - Double Points For Final Climb

The final climb of the 14th stage is the Col de Sentinelle is rated category-two. A ruling introduced three years ago means that any climbing ranked category-two or higher is worth double points if it’s the last ascent. This means that 20 points are on offer for the first man across the summit that’s 9.5km from the finish. The Col de Sentinelle has been a feature of the Tour on nine previous occasions. The last time this 981m high climb was part of the itinerary was in 1996 when Rolf Sorensen led the peloton over the line.
