Charente-Maritime

Rest Day 1 - Monday, 7 September -

< Stage 9 - Home - Stage 10 >

No Stage

Time for a well earned rest and to take stock (with a pet rock). While there have been some mountain stages most of the favorites should still be in contention.

Rest Day Prediction Special

Obviously no rider is going to win today so we are doing something else. Predict which rider will have the Lanterne Rouge (Red Lantern) at the start of the second rest day.

Red Lantern 'Winner': Jérôme Cousin
