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.

I would imagine Rasmussen is really hoping Quick.Step can bring this race back together prior to that climb.

Good point! I'm sure he's thinking that all those double points would be wasted on the riders in the escape, but that he could make far better use of them! LOL
