TourManager:
Etappe 19 er en knallhard alpeetappe fra Embrun opp til skiannlegget Isola 2000. To HC kategorier skal bestiges, før 1. kategori bakken opp til mål. Mye poeng blir delt ut underveis over de to HC kategoriene og ikke minst opp til mål, så her bør man få inn gode klatrere. 2 etapper gjenstår etter denne, en fjelletappe og en kupert tempo, så her kan man gjerne bruke de siste byttene i TourManager til å forme laget for de resterende etappene.
