As the Tour de France leaves the Nord-P♊as-de-Calais region after the Grand Départ, the riders will head south from Amiens to Rouen, staying adjacent to the coast along the route for a stage that could suit ☂both puncheurs and sprinters alike.

The parcours features a lot of undulating terrain with five categorised climbs in the last 50km, whi൩ch will likely decide the outcome of the stage.
