Nîmes to Nîmes

Stage 16 - Tuesday, 23 July - 177 km (110 mi)

< Stage Rest 2 - Home - Stage 17 >

The Stage

Interestingly we have a regular stage today that finishes where it started; Nîmes. Both rest day cities are double dipping this year. A bunch sprint seems likely; who survived the mountains and the rest day the best?

Winner: Caleb Ewan

Tour Touristique

Crossed by the Nîmes to Uzès aqueduct, Lédenon retains an interesting heritage, such as the ruins of its castle (12th to 17th century) and a revolutionary solar villa built in 1976 by architect and ecology pioneer Armand Pellier. The village is also known for its racing circuit, created in 1973, and which hosted GT or Superbike French championships. It is the most sinuous of the French circuits and the only one to turn anti-clockwise.
