Massive sprint in sight in Dijon
With such a flat profile, it must be recognized that the sprinters will surely compete for stage victory this late afternoon in Dijon. The only hill being at kilometer 10, it will be easy for the many teams interested in a massive sprint to control the race. Be careful, the runners risk tumbling at 70km/h in the final straight. And it is not the total altitude difference of the day’s route which displays 950m which will qualify the analysis.
The only climb of the 6th stage of the Tour de France 2024
