  1. The obvious breakaway stage will be stage 18 Gap > Barcelonette. Other than that maybe the two stages in between Massif Central and Pyrenees. I think a strong breakaway like Le Creusot 2021 could somehow form on stage 1 to be honest, we will see lol.

    Puy Mary according to the TDF website the final km averages 14%…

    Key thing about that Bonette climb is the final kilometre, you are going up to 2800m and its 10% and higher. If Pogacar cracks then we saw how quickly a gap to Vingegaard can open on Ventoux / Marie Blanque / Granon in just a short amount of time. And it gets more concerning for Pog because I think Vingegaard can take time on that descent too, before we even reach Isola 2000.

  2. The Valloire stage can be really tricky. Wind can be a factor on these less steep but very high altitude climbs. Also the last section of the Galibier is steep (from Lautaret) so not just high altitude. It was very tricky back in 2011 when they finished the stage on the top of the Galibier. If Visma smells blood it can be very similar what they did this year on the Tourmalet but more room for big tempo with high watts on the less steep slopes until the Lautaret
