Analysis
With almost no room for the sprinters and hilly roads every single day, the Tour du Limousin will see the Movistar Team continue with its French calendar alternative to La Vuelta, which in some form started the week before with the Tour de l’Ain, on the other side of the country.
The only clear chance for a sprint should be stage two (Wednesday 17th) in Ribérac, preceded by a pretty lumpy opener, with the Côte de la Cazine just 7km away from the finish in La Souterraine (Tuesday 16th).
The presumably hardest day should be stage three (Thursday 18th), with nearly 3,000m elevation gain and tough slopes -including a hard finish- towards Malemort. The showdown on Friday 19th will feature another 2,700m of elevation drop, with yet another uphill finish in Limoges. Allez les puncheurs !
