THE ESSENTIAL
The 16th stage of the Tour de France takes the riders from Carcassonne to Foix (178.5km) this Tuesday.
This stage should once again be very eventful, between the heat and the route which offers great prospects in the last 60 kilometers.
Two first category climbs are notably on the program, with the Port de Lers then the Mur de Péguère, then you will have to descend for about twenty kilometers towards Foix.
The ideal ground for breakaways, but also to attack the yellow jersey, well installed on the shoulders of Jonas Vingeggard.
Tadej Pogcar is 2'22 behind the leader of the general classification, Geraint Thomas at 2'43, Romain Bardet at 3'01.

9:30 a.m.: Will you take a little reading to wait?
Of course... I offer you this paper on the heat wave that has been hitting the Tour in recent days, as in the rest of France.
Runners really fear heatstroke.
What can we imagine for the future, when the summers are not going to be refreshing for the next few years?

9:30 a.m.: The stakes of the race
Already the last week of the Tour!
After a day of rest under the dodger of Carcassonne, the riders set off this Tuesday towards Foix.
This 16th stage marks the entry into the Pyrenean massif, the scene of the last hopes for the fighters as well as for the aspirants to the final victory.
No big passes (yet) on the menu today, but the Port de Lers and the Mur de Péguère in the last 60 kilometers which offer good percentages to start the battle.
Regarding the fight for the yellow jersey, we would put a small piece on a drum beating descent towards Foix to try to put the Jumbo in difficulty.
