TOUR HISTORY

For the third year, there is a inish at the top of a cat-three hill within days of the start. In 2015, Chris Froome was second to Joaquim Rodríguez and took yellow at the Mur de Huy. A year later, Peter Sagan outlasted Julian Alaphilippe on La Glacerie in Cherbourg, with the GC favourites more or less all together.
