The key difference with previous years is that Route des Crêtes is climbed from the harder side, putting it further away from the finish.

Pas de la Couelle

Montée de la Sainte Baume + Col de l'Espigoulier

Route des Crêtes

Pas d'Ouillier

Col de la Gineste

And then the descent which eventually peters out in the long final straight to the velodrome, like every year.

Live road cycling is back!

 

[RedheadDane]

And we got images!

65 Ks to go. A break has fiveish minutes to the peloton.

Gougeard, Blouwe, Van Der Tuuk, Debeaumarché, and Carisey.

Beautiful day and weather in the south of France

Magic light!

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like Louis has Blouwen up.

 

[noob]

Champousin face is so priceless on a climb

 

[BlueRoads]

The bikes are all painted so well this year, only the jerseys don't live up to that standard.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Ulissi still looks like he has a bit of a winter belly

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Attaque Guillaume Martin! Quelle Panache

 

[Faserr]

That was a good attack.

 

[RedheadDane]

Martin is strong.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Martin is doing a good job here, but it will be hard to hold on.
Or maybe not. It doesn't seem like they'll be able to work well together behind him.

 

[Faserr]

Now, there are a lot of strong riders to chase him. Martin is really strong, but it will be hard.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Martin a racer with heart

 

[Salvarani]

Couqard still in the group

Pedersen too.

Havent seen Trentin? But he might be there.

 

[RedheadDane]

I hope he makes it, even though I know it'll be hard.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Trentin DNS according to Pro Cycling Stats

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Not enough Guillaume Martins in this peloton.

 

[RedheadDane]

Not enough Guillaume Martins in this peloton.

If there were multiple Guillaume Martins in the peloton, then it would mean someone had cloned him and you know that's against the rules!

 

[RedheadDane]

Capiot, ahead of Pedersen.

 

[tobydawq]

Wow, Capiot's first pro win after approximately a million top tens!

 

[Samamba]

Arkea having a really good start of the season too.

 

[RedheadDane]

Wow, Capiot's first pro win after approximately a million top tens!

And you say I'm bad at maths...

 

[Carols]

Capiot perfectly timed.....Pedersen 2nd
