Alexander Kristoff was the last pure sprinter to pull on the Yellow Jersey following the first stage, during the 2020 Grand Départ in Nice. A successor to the Norwegian should emerge in Lille after a loop that will take the peloton into the Pas-de-Calais region initially. Once back in the department of Nord, the sprinters’ teams are likely to offer little opportunity to the breakaway riders, who will have to focus on the contest for the polka-dot jersey on the climbs of Cassel at km 106 and Mont Noir at km 139.7. The sprinters will take centre stage on the final straight below the Citadel.
