12:55 – Fictitious start in 10 minutes

The peloton will set off in about ten minutes, at 1:05 p.m. from Gruissan for 189 kilometers to Nîmes.

12:40 – De Lie’s last chance?

The young Belgian champion Arnaud de Lie has tried several times to take the breakaway, but the sprinter has not yet won. This 16th stage could be the last opportunity to raise his arms. “It’s the last possibility for the sprinters, in Nîmes. We hope that it will be decided in the sprint and to be well placed, to be able to just claim to do the sprint and do a sprint, quite simply. If there is the chance that we obtain a very good result. It’s magnificent but the goal will still be to learn and to implement the experience that we already have on the other sprints.”

12:25 – Vingegaard is not resigned

Although he was beaten in the last two mountain stages in the Pyrenees, Jonas Vingegaard still believes in his chances of winning the Tour de France for a third time. “I’ve won the Tour twice, I’m not here to finish second. I’m going to do everything I can to try to win. I’d rather try to attack Tadej for first place than look back.”

12:10 – Evenepoel cautious

If he can’t keep up Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard in the last mountain difficulties, Remco Evenepoel has had a very good first Tour de France. Third overall, he does not want to give in to euphoria. “For the moment, I am in a good position for this 3rd place, so I would be lying if I said that I will not defend it”

12:03 – The stage profile in video

No notable difficulty on this 16th stage of the Tour, apart from the climb of the Pic Saint-Loup (4th category) in the middle of the stage. A finish for sprinters, therefore, unless the tramontane and the mistral get involved and disturb the peloton.

12:00 – Here we go for the third week

Hello everyone, the final week of the Tour de France begins this Tuesday with a transition stage between Gruissan and Nîmes, surely the last opportunity for the sprinters to raise their arms. During the Pyrenean stages, Tadej Pogacar increased his lead over Jonas Vingegaard in the general classification, with impressive performances on the Plat d’Adet and the Plateau de Beille.
