An unusually long day by the standards of the old Dauphiné, a race that — especially in its mountain stages — tends to serve up distances better suited to juniors than to professionals.
Some 3,200 metres of climbing pile up, but most of the five categorised climbs are well clear of the finish. The exception will be Saint-Vidal (Cat. 3), cresting around a dozen kilometres from the line.
At this length, a breakaway can't be entirely ruled out — chiefly with an eye on the following day's team time trial.
