This stage revisits the iconic Turini in its 2018/2019 configuration. Starting in the heart of La Bollène-Vésubie, competitors add flair with a 360° spin in front of the town hall before climbing to the 1607 m pass. The ascent is fairly straightforward, but challenges await near the summit and during the winding, fast descent through the forest to Peïra-Cava. Snow and ice are likely to play a key role in this wintery setting.
