The stage, which starts in the huge Place deJaude in the heart of Clermont-Ferrand, will be run entirely in the department of Puy-de-Dôme. Beginning on fairly flat roads, it will head to Courpière, where things will get serious. The ascent of the Col du Béal (10.2km at 5.6%) will be quickly followed by those of the Col deChansert (6.3km at 5.5%) and the Côte deValcivières. Running through a wild landscape of volcanic rock, there will be no respite at all on the road to Ambert.
