Let the hype begin! It's a showdown between Pog and Vinge, before their real showdown at the TDF. But there's also a lot of other talent here.
Also notable is the TTT of 32 km, where stronger teams will take a lot of time.

Notable GC mentions: Pogacar, Vingegaard, Martinez, Skjelmose, Powless, Simon Yates
Notable sprinters: De Lie, Pedersen, Laporte, Demare, Matthews, Merlier

Can’t find any profiles of the stage 6 climbs so I’ll be mapping those out later this week, the final KOM is the same as in the 2018 stage into Vence won by Molard though. In the meantime, these are the hills on the first stage and the KOM + preceding climb of stage 4.

Edit: ended up finding a profile of the final climb on stage 6.

Edit 2: All climbs added.

Stage 1

Thanks.

Stage 4 looks like an uphill sprint of a small group probably. Stage 6 is far from the finish, but the fact that there's not a descent immediately makes me somewhat optimistic that it can at least be shattered into small groups there.
