The final stage, a 99.2km circuit-style stage 9, around Nice could offer plenty of opportunity to shake up the overall classification if it\u2019s not already set in stone.<\/p>\n

Riders will tackle four loops featuring four ascents of the Col d\u2019\u00c8ze, from the easier side the first three times around for a 7.7km ascent at 5.9%. On the final and fourth lap, the route is modified with a detour via the Chemin du Vinaigrier and the Col des Quatre Chemins, for a total climb of 6km at 7.6%, including more than a kilometre at 12%. Then it is a fast 15 kilometres descent towards the finish line on Promenade des Anglais, approached from the opposite direction to the previous stage, where the overall winner will be crowned.<\/p>\n
