The downpour at midday led the organisers to allow the peloton to return to the valley in team vehicles for the start of the road section towards the Col du Mont Cenis.

This straight section didn’t fundamentally change the hierarchy, but a counter-attack with 4km to go allowed Isaac Del Toro to close the gap on the yellow jersey, which was isolated in the group of favourites, by 18 seconds. Above all, the Mexican took 2nd place overall (54 seconds behind the leader) at the expense of Piganzoli despite the strong Italian presence at the front.

So nothing is firm and definitive on the threshold of the final stage. In any case, the finish in Mont – Cenis gave Irishman Archie Ryan, 4th in last year’s Tour de l’Avenir but hampered this season by tendinitis and now out of the running in the general classification, the chance to take revenge before leaving the Jumbo Développement team for EF Éducation’s World Tour.
In his energetic style, the small Irish rider regained his energy to carry out his attack halfway up the climb.

The race concludes with a final day of high mountain action, with the crossing of the Col de l’Iseran before the epilogue in Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise.

Les Karellis, family summer sports resort…
Situated at an altitude of 1600 metres, in the Maurienne valley, near the Vanoise park and the mythical passes of the Tour de France, the resort of Les Karellis offers unique and ideal stays for families with children.

Lake Mont Cenis, on the Italian border. A huge lake at 2000m altitude just above Val Cenis-Lanslebourg. Canoeing and pedal-boating on the lake (it’s the highest water sports base in Europe!), hiking and mountain biking around the lake. In summer, Val Cenis and the whole Haute Maurienne Vanoise area is also known for its endless possibilities for walks, hikes and trail rides in the Vanoise National Park (the 1st National Park in France, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year) or in the wild, secret areas of the Ambin valley and Petit Mont Cenis, which overlook Italy. In the mountain pastures, marmots are everywhere. Heritage sites to visit include the ancient Italian and French forts of Pattacreuse, Varisselle and Malamot on Mont Cenis, and those of Esseillon just outside Val Cenis. Also worth a visit: the region’s Baroque churches (rather austere on the outside, they contain unsuspected treasures, with painted ceilings, gilding, cherubs everywhere, finely decorated altarpieces…) or the Val Cenis archaeology museum, which recalls the thousand-year history of the occupation of the Alpine valleys. Last but not least, don’t miss the hikes to the glaciers overlooking Val Cenis on the Vanoise National Park side: Vanoise glaciers, or on the Bonneval sur Arc side, the Evettes or Grand Méan glaciers.
