Two small difficulties, an intermediate sprint and a straight line finish for more than a kilometer. This third stage seems promised to the sprinters.
Halfway through the race, the riders will have to climb the Côte de Cadoudal (4th category, 1.7 kilometers at 6.3%), before an intermediate sprint animates the race at La Fourchette, 64 kilometers from the finish. . The second difficulty of the day will be the Pluméliau hill (2.2 kilometers at 3.1%) 34 kilometers from the line.
If five riders packed their bags from the start of this 182-kilometer stage, the sprinter teams will probably not let them go to the end to give us the first massive sprint of this 2021 edition.
