as well as time bonuses at the finish a few seconds are on offer at a sprint close to the finish; today’s is 14km out and should make the finale even more hectic For the GC men days one and two are about staying upright and in touch This is the first chance for gaps to open – particularly if it’s breezy or wet – and all eyes will be on Team Sky who have yet to win a Tour team time trial peppered with corners and with two little hills after halfway to put any strugglers under pressure Into the cycling heartland of Brittany for a third sprint day - no wonder the young Australian fastman Caleb Ewan was devastated to be left out The race should have a more controlled pattern now – breakaway sprint – where it is to be hoped that Peter Sagan will stay in a straight line avoiding last year’s controversy and a final 100 kilometres with five climbs with the bonus sprint on a further short ascent near the finish A good day for a break as the finale will be hard to control or for a sprinter who can climb like Sagan or Arnaud Démare A classic tense stage when the Tour won’t be won but it could be lost dead straight Breton Alpe d’Huez in the final 16 kilometres: the first true test for the overall contenders The run-in to the climb the first time will be hectic as the riders fight for position; a crash or a puncture could be ruinous this climb favours riders such as Spain’s Alejandro Valverde or Chris Froome probably with the wind on the riders’ backs on the rolling roads of Normandy; this will be fast and it is destined for a sprint although if the breeze is north-westerly and teams feel enterprising the race could split up in the finale One for the usual suspects: Mark Cavendish André Greipel and new kid on the block Fernando Gaviria The fifth flat day out of the first eight; let’s hope the sprints haven’t all gone to Marcel Kittel and that the shenanigans have been relatively restrained repeated small climbs and descents which look innocuous on the profile the wind could make life interesting; again Lots of cobbles on a potentially key stage: the final 109km includes 15 pavé sectors but offering little respite - the longest tarmac stretch is 12km - leaving little chance to regroup after a puncture or crash Toughest section is Camphin-en-Pévèle at 18km to go this could be carnage; Geraint Thomas will fancy his chances but Vincenzo Nibali won the 2014 race on a similar stage A lengthy transfer to the Alps for more off-roading two kilometres of unpaved road on the hors-catégorie Col de Glières; three other climbs will provide a rude awakening after nine stages on the flat With a descent to the finish after the brutal double of the Cols de Romme and Colombière the script is an attack from Romain Bardet Following the recent trend for short mountain stages this has three major ascents including a summit finish; La Rosière is draggy rather than steep so the main selection will come over the Cormet de Roselend tackled mid-stage after 38 mainly uphill kilometres One for a specialist climber with a sprint so ideal for a Movistar rider such as Mikel Landa or Alejandro Valverde a very traditional climbing stage: the Cols de Madeleine and Croix-de-Fer – 25km and 29km long respectively – followed by the Tour’s toughest summit finish With masses of points on offer in the King of the Mountains someone will take an option on that jersey here with the the overall distilled to half-a-dozen contenders at most The overall battle will go back on hold for a typical contest between a break and the sprinters teams depending on what they have in their legs after surviving the Alps rolling roads in the middle as the route skirts the Vercors The sprinters teams should handle it but it could be tight One of the few days when the break is highly likely to stay away so the tussle to get in it will be intense and the steep finish climb up to the airport is made for Julian Alaphilippe although British fans remember this as where Wirral’s finest Steve Cummings outwitted Romain Bardet and Thibaut Pinot for a tactically perfect win back in 2015 this includes the first-category Pic de Nore 40km from the finish with an elite selection of overall contenders behind them But these are roads eminently suited to a surprise attack from an all rounder such as Nibali the final week opens with a lengthy run in to the Pyrénées and three short steep climbs The winner should come from the early escape - a climber such as David Gaudu or Pello Bilbao - while the elite group of overall contenders are liable to watch and wait with tomorrow in mind this short stage will see the favourites “gridded” at the start as the battle for position will be intense with the race heading straight up the Col de Peyresourde before a summit finish made for Rafal Majka or Nairo Quintana – 2,215m above sea level after a 16km climb it should at least whittle the overall contenders down to two or three An abrupt transition to flat roads could offer an intriguing diversion from the main plot; a similar stage in 2012 witnessed a desperate contest to get in the early break This is the last chance for any non-climbers to try for the stage win – Edvard Boasson Hagen for example – and the sprinters’ teams may not be in sufficient shape to pull a group back A final day of classic Pyrenean climbing: the triptych of Aspin Aubisque – climbed via the little known Col des Bordères – before a descent to the finish A holding operation before the next day’s time trial for whoever is in yellow with a break going all the way – someone such as the Pole Rafal Majka for the win – and perhaps a final fight for the King of the Mountains jersey over a distance that would have been termed short in the 1980s or 1990s the final contre-la-montre witnessed a fraught battle for the podium The Basque country course is far from flat so Chris Froome will start favourite rather than Tom Dumoulin although the ups and downs will also suit Richie Porte the now-traditional evening stage in the heart of Paris and again using the full circuit around the Arc de Triomphe It’s 15 years since this was won from a break so the sprint seems inevitable: last year victory went to Dylan Groenewegen and this finish has also smiled on Mark Cavendish and André Greipel – but who will be in yellow This article was amended on 5 July 2018 to correct the name of Dylan Groenewegen from Tom Groenewegen as an earlier version said A light magnitude 2.9 earthquake occurred in the Bay of Biscay near Ile de Noirmoutier island The quake had a very shallow depth of 17 km (11 mi) and was felt widely in the area A light magnitude 2.8 earthquake occurred in the Bay of Biscay near Ile de Noirmoutier island The quake had a very shallow depth of 16.1 km (10 mi) and was felt by many near the epicenter.
