Tomorrow's 169-km (105-mi) medium mountain Stage 16 begins in the east Andorra town of El Pas de la Casa. Cyclists will ride northwest until they reach Saint-Gaudens back in France. Racing will be fast at first, but then two category-2 climbs and one category-1 climb in the Pyrenees will allow fans to watch the climbers shine. Two brutal mountain stages follow Stage 16. Will the yellow jersey be challenged tomorrow, or will GC challengers wait for the two stages to follow? Our prediction is given below.
- Stage 16: 3h 56' 52" (prediction)
We have hit two thirds of the stages to this point. The ones we missed have either been won by a crazy-fast time or stages in which the GC contenders did not fight too hard. Strategies are always fun to guess!
