Stage 15 preview: Samatan → Pau, 159 km (lumpy)


15 jul: Petnaesta etapa polazi iz Samatana, grada koji nikada do sada nije bio domaćin etape Tura, a završava se u Pou (Pau), koji je ove godine to po 65. put što ga čini jednim od najpopularnijih „stanica“ Tura svih vremena. Samo Pariz (141) i Bordo (Bordeaux, 80) su više puta od njega bili domaćini Tura.

Etapa koja se vozi u ponedeljak se vozi kroz podnožje Pirineja, valovitom trasom kroz miran krajolik. U drugoj polovini ove 159 km duge etape nalazis se tri kategorisana uspona, nakon čega sledi ravničarska završnica u Pou, gde poslednjih, ravnih 600 m, predstavlja savršenu scenu za masovni sprint. Nakon ove etape sledi drugi i ujedno i poslednji dan odmora, pre dve preostale visoko-brdske etape tako da, osim ukoliko sprinterski timovi ne naprave grešku u proračunu, ne treba očekivati da beg bude uspešan. — Steve (prevod: Comarello).
