Prudhomme's comment on the stage:
A very straight-forward stage, as Prudhomme himself says, but after Sagans disqualification, we're in for an exiciting battle for the green points jersey!
Troyes has been appearing in the Tour 8 times in the history of the race. As letour.fr writes, including a little story as well:
The city has appeared a total of eight times on the map of the Tour de France, often at the end of stages. The one heading to Troyes in 1960 entered the history books. Indeed on that day the peloton stopped to salute a prestigious spectator. General De Gaulle, then President of the French Republic, had come on the side of the road in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises to watch the Tour go by. The pause, orchestrated by Jacques Goddet, indirectly, allowed Pierre Beuffeuil, dropped because of a puncture, to move back into the peloton before eventually winning the stage on his own 70 kilometres later.
