Quick & Reliable Predictions
Stage 15 Breakdown:
Stage 15 take the riders east on a 169km trip from Muret to Carcassonne. The stage contains 3 categorized climbs but reach the final peak with 40km still to go. The remaining part is downhill and flat toward the finish line in Carcassonne, providing a chance for some of the sprinters with a bit of climbing legs or possibly a breakaway to fight for the stage win.
The sprint could be anything from a big bunch sprint of a remaining peloton to a sprint from a small group. It will likely be decided by how hard the peloton ride the last 2nd category climb. This is also the final day before the 2nd and last rest day, which means the teams and riders can give what they have left knowing that they get to recover well after.
The final kilometres take place within the city of Carcassonne. There is one sharp 90 degree corner just before the 1km mark, then another 90 degree corner with about 700m to go. The last 100m the road bends slightly to the left toward the finish line.

TourManager:
Etappe 15 er en interessant etappe som gir muligheter for både spurtere, puncheur ryttere og bruddspesialister til å kjempe om etappeseieren. Hvis det blir kjørt hardt nok over fjellene, vil nok spurterne med de svakeste klatrebeina falle av, noe som åpner mulighet for de litt mer klatresterke rytterne som har en god avslutning.
