Similar to the previous stage finish, Robbie McEwen has also won in Montargis back in 2005 when the Tour last visited Montargis. There should also be a sprint finish again this year in Montargis, known for its 131 bridges and walkways giving rise to the nickname, "Venice of the Gâtinais." However, it depends on how the previous Arenberg stage unfolds and the gaps in the general classification that opened up. The new leader of the race, if there is one, might not want the Yellow Jersey so early in the month. July 8 update: We are heading into the interior of France and it's going to be one of the hottest Tour days in years. — Steve

Stage 5 starts in Epernay, the capital of the Champagne region surrounded by vineyards as far as the eye can see. Epernay also hosted a stage start in 1978 and 2002. We'll then continue south over two category 4 climbs early on before settling into a flat day passing Paris on the way, 35 km to the west.
