Stage 10 of this year's Tour de France commences at Vulcania, not too far from where yesterday's stage ended and also not too far from where cyclists are resting today. The 167.2-km (103.9-mi) medium-mountain stage takes riders on a loop to the south where they end up a bit southeast of Vulcania at Issoire. In the middle of four category-3 climbs is the category-2 climb to the 1451-m (4760-ft) peak of Col de la Croix Saint-Robert. Our predicted winning time is given below.
- Stage 10: 4h 02' 16" (prediction)
It will be interesting to see how many cyclists survive to the next rest day. After tomorrow's medium-mountain stage, sprinters will get a chance to shine on Stage 11. But then another medium-mountain stage, followed by three consecutive mountain stages will get riders to their next day of rest. A lot of grueling riding coming at the end of the week!
