Stage info
First big chance for the Tour's sprinters on one of those so-called 'transition days', at an ultra-regular finish of the race: the city of Pau.
There are several short ramps that will try to make life difficult for the sprinters, including Baleix (Cat. 3) some 25 km from the finish, but barring wind or ambushes, a bunch finish is the likely outcome.
Bonuses
There are 10-6-4" at the finish. The intermediate sprint only awards points.
