The passage across the Picardy plain is exposed to the wind and could offer options to teams keen to create echelons. However, it’s more likely that there’ll be a battle between the peloton’s best puncheurs over the final forty kilometres. After the historic Côte de Bonsecours, where the riders will pass the monument to Jean Robic, they will continue to the Côte de Grand’Mare and the more testing Saint-Hilaire ascent that averages 15% and is followed by a five-kilometre dive into the centre of Rouen.
