Gruissan > Nîmes 188km

The third week kicks off with a sprint stage, the final opportunity for the quick men. Quite a lot of teams have lost riders, meaning fewer men left to chase, but there should still be enough teams interested in making sure this day ends in a sprint. There will be quite a few riders looking to get in a break, the opening kilometres will need to be managed carefully to make sure a strong group don’t get up the road.
