But maybe you are a die-hard cyclist and want to ride more kilometers?
Don't worry! Being at the Pyrenees you will be able to make some extra kilometers.
We know every road and every climb nearby.

An easy chance. In sixth stage, if after Coll de la Bonaigua and Portillon, we will get to Bagneres de Luchon. End of stage. Deserved rest for everyone, but if someone is still willing to do some extra climb, then let's go for Superbagneres, 19 km to reach 1.800 meters height.
