Description

After the rest day, the riders will have to be in shape for the longest stage of this 58th edition of the Tour de l'Avenir, between Thonon-les-Bains and Saint-François Longchamp. The road will go up and down non-stop until kilometer 120. The valley before the final climb could be the perfect springboard for the win of the stage, if the pack ever decides to release the pressure on a potential breakaway. The GC contenders will also have a great opportunity to fight on this last climb.
