Thank you, Bay! At least it shows we have our calcs right!

Geez, that finish is going to be dicey for the leaders, and especially the peloton! Can't imagine going down hills like that in a group of ~150 riders...

From the Sentinelle's summit, the narrow, twisty back road descends through 600 vertical feet in 5km, then goes up a short hill before descending another 300 feet in 1.5km. This brings the course within 2km of the finish - which races through the streets of Gap via five roundabouts to a short, 300-meter-long finishing straight.
