Stage 12 of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France is one that both breakaway specialists and sprinters will have♏ circled in their road books since the 203.6km route was announced last year. The🥂re is a lot of climbing in the two-thirds of the stage from Aurillac, but no major ascents and the reward of a flat finish into Villeneuve-sur-Lot should invigorate the sprint teams.

From a rolling start, the first of three category 4 climbs begins 62km later with the Côte d&rsqu🦹o;Autoire (2.7km at 5.9%), then after another 20 kilometres ticks by they will tackle the Côte de Rocamadour (2km at 5.8%), which will be ridden in the opposite direction to the route taken by the 2022 Tour time trial. 

The only intermediate sprint comes in Gourdon at the mid-point of the race, and 25km from the final categorised climb, the Côte de Montౠcléra (2km at 4.6%). That last chance for KOM points arrives with 68 kilometres to go, a long descent urging any breakaway to hit the gas as the sprint teams can begin to make inroads. 

The final 5km into Villeneuve-sur-Lot are flat. The last two times the village hosted the Tour also came down to chasers trying to make a catch, with Erik Dekker stay away near the banks♈ of the Lot river in 2000 for his victory.
