JEAN-FRANÇOIS PESCHEUXS ANALYSIS : Eschelon country
Like the previous stage, this one takes place entirely within Brittany with the setting on this occasion in Finistère and the Côtes-dArmor. The stage heads from Carhaix to Cap Fréhel through spectacular countryside, with the final 70km alongside the sea. So, once again, the riders will keep an eye on the wind and be aware of the possibility that echelons might form. It will all depend on the weather, but there might be some surprises today. All things being normal, like the stage into Redon, this stage should be won by a sprinter.
