The tenth stage of the Tour de France will be a proper salute to its 100th anniversary.
After a plane transfer and a rest day at Saint-Nazaire, the Tour heads into western France for a magnifcent finish beneath Saint-Malo’s ramparts.
The stage was designed with tradition in mind, and will honour the memory of Louison Bobet and pay tribute to Bernard Hinault.
This 100th edition of the Tour will feature another great symbol of French pride: for the first time, the riders will pass through the heart of the Coëtquidan military camp, where the elite cadets from the Saint-Cyr military school will line up to honor the riders.
Then it will likely be a day for the sprinters to rocket home. – Velo News
