83rd Tour de France - Stage by Stage


Stage 9 shortened to a farce

Due to terrible weather conditions, rain, snow and wind, stage 9 of the Tour has been shortened to 46 km, cancelling the climbs of Iseran and Galibier.

The stage will start in Monetier-Les-Bains (Serre Chevalier), go over Col de Montgenevre (Cat. 2) and finish in Sestrieres (Cat. 1).
