Stage 19
Stage 19 Breakdown:
Stage 19 take the riders on a short but mountainous 130km journey from Albertville to La Plagne. There are 5 categorized climbs, including two HC climbs, totalling 4550m in elevation gain. The first HC climb up Col du Prè has a length of 12.6km with an average gradient of 7.7%. From there they continue up the 2nd category climb Cormet de Roselend, located at an elevation of 1968m with about 50km to go. Then they make a long decent down to the start of the final climb.
The final climb up to the finish line at La Plagne is 19.1km with a gradient of 7.2%. This is the final mountain stage of the Tour and likely the last chance for the climbers to fight for a stage win. Its also the last stage where large amounts of KOM points will be distributed, meaning that the Polkadot jersey might be decided here. Breakaway or Pogacar?

TourManager:
Etappe 19 er en kort men hard fjelletappe fra Albertville til La Plagne. Dette er siste etappen med avslutning på toppen av et fjell, og siste etappe hvor mye poeng skal deles ut i klatrekonkurransen. Etter denne gjenstår en kupert og en flat etappe, som betyr at man kan bruke bytter etter denne etappen til en siste omstilling av laget før de siste 2 etappene.
