Farewell to this Catalan 'Grand Départ' with the first mountain day in the Pyrenees as the race crosses into France.
A first major obstacle -the well-known Collada de Toses, 9 km at 6.5%- will lead the riders to the long Col du Calvaire, almost 15 km that, though gentle, top out at over 1,800 m of altitude.
An uncertain finish, because although the final climb to Les Angles has two kilometres at nearly 7%, the scale of the earlier passes and the previous day's battle may leave some room for the break.
