The second week of Tower of France is clearly marked by the great passes of the Alps French, with key ascents to the Col du Granon or the mythical Alpe d’Huez in the battle for the general lead by the current double champion Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates).
After the rest day in Morzine, the Tour returns with a vengeance, with two high-mountain stages on Wednesday and Thursday and before that, on Tuesday’s stage 10, a good appetizer to warm up the legs.
Departing from Morzine Les Portes du Soleil and arriving in Megève after 148.1 kilometers, the tenth stage winds through valleys to reach Megève and face the final climb to the slopes, with 19.3 kilometers at an average gradient of 4 percent. A flat climb, without big ramps, where you can avoid a fainting spell after the break before reaching the top of the pass, just like in the Dauphiné 2020.
