Forcalquier > Montagne de Lure 176km

Day 2 in Provence and the big GC day. The stage ends with the climb of Montagne de Lure, some of you might remember Quintana winning here back in 2022. Those of you who’ve been following cycling for a while longer will also recall Richie Porte winning a Paris-Nice stage here in 2013 and Alberto Contador did the same in 2009. I was just thinking about Bertie earlier today, I fucking loved him.
