The mountains are over, the Yellow Jersey is secured for Tadej Pogacar but there are still two stages left before the finish in Paris starting with Stage 20 between Nantua and Pontarlier. These 185 relentlessly hilly kilometres are perfect for a break away and all the teams yet to taste victory will be desperate to have riders in the mix. A tour is only deemed successful by a team if a stage is won so with two stages left and 14 teams winless the pressure is huge on this one.

There are four catagorised climbs on the route the toughest being the 2nd cat Côte de Thésy after 121 kilometres so expect this to prove decisive in making the final selection of riders who will fight out the finish.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs, followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN. Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.
