The longest stage of the race is also the final road stage without a single categorised climb. Naturally, it looks to be another hot day with no chance of echelons. Not much else to say about this one.

The final 500 metres average 1.8% as per the roadbook, so the profile below looks a bit exaggerated to me.

Considering what is to come after stage 13 hopefully no real GC action tomorrow, bar crosswinds.

Hopefully Jakobsen takes it, definitely needs it to secure green.
Thank you for giving me a reason to even watch this stage - would love to see Jakobsen stay in the green, and even possibly keep the green throughout this whole entire GT!

(I still want those stuffed animals he may win, btw. if he has no other purpose for them.)

Roglic has a hard enough time staying on his bike on the tarmac, don't totally demolish the guy with sterrato.
Actually, one place he has dropped Pogacar was the gravel-ly/dirt section of road on the way to Loze. He ended up sitting up and letting the small group with Pogacar come back to him.

It was the day after Col de la Loze. Atop the Plateau des Glières.
