Info
The route, Belfort-Porrentruy, is 154 km long, 92 km of which are on Jurassic ground. The racers will be crossing all the regions of the Canton of Jura (Franches-Montagnes, the Delémont valley, Clos du Doubs, Ajoie), with a loop through the village of Glovelier.
Good to know
The end of the stage will be in steep terrain with four ascents (Goumois-Saignelégier, Glovelier-Saulcy, Boécourt-La Caquerelle and Col de la Croix) and is very demanding from an athletic point of view. Even though the stage is a short one, these difficult slopes make the end suspenseful. The race will hardly be decided right here, but one of the favorites might well find himself falling behind unexpectedly.
