MILLAR SAYS

-

Big, big day for the GC. It’s not often a Tour stage has three hors-categorie climbs so this will be a cracker. Anyone with an eye on the KoM jersey will want to be in the early escape and hope they survive at least the first two climbs before the GC fight kicks off. The Binche and Grand Colombier are basically the nastiest ascents of the same mountain range then it’s across the valley and the unrelentin­g Mont du Chat. Finish off with a dodgy descent into Chambéry and we’ll learn who the contenders are.
