In the last week, the time trial and the Col la Loze will be essential, then the last stage of the Vosges, which was designed to have a real upheaval possible, with a real difficulty for the teams to control the race”, affirms Prudhomme. “There is this fight between the leaders, but there is also this team against team fight, with opposing strategies. We have the feeling that at all levels, whether it is sports for leaders, sports for teams , but also logistics, it’s a terrible showdown, a boxing fight. I don’t know if it will end in points, or maybe there will be a knockout at the end, but in any case, in the meantime, it makes us salivate, that’s for sure”
