Statisticians take note: this is certainly the most challenging flat stage in the Tour’s recent history, featuring more than 3,500 metres of vertical gain. This part of the world is known as Norman Switzerland for good reason, and the peloton will be getting a full flavour of its rugged terrain. The Côte de Vaudry will be the star attraction in the finale, just prior to the big battle that will be fought on the 700-metre-long 10% haul to the finish line.
