TourManager:
Etappe 7 er en ny kupert etappe med avslutning opp den ikoniske veggen i Mur-de-Bretagne. Med partier opp mot 15% stigning byr den på utfordring for rytterne, hvor kun de sterkeste puncheur spesialistene og sammenlagtfavorittene trolig vil kjempe om etappeseieren. Det er mange av de samme favorritene fra forrige etappe, så anbefaler å spare bytter om man allerede har disse på TourManager laget.
