LE PUY - EN !VELAY "ROMANS! SUR! ISÈRE

DISTANCE 165KM TERRAIN FLAT

Le Puy-en-Velay, famous for its eponymous green lentil, hosts the second rest day and the peloton could do worse than indulge in its superfood qualities given the punishment the race will have doled out. It’ll have been slim pickings for the sprinters over the last few stages but once again they’ll return to the fore. It’s the last ‘flat’ stage before Paris, though probably not the final chance for Cavendish and co.
