Stage 9 - Tuesday July 13: St Leonard de Noblat - Guéret, 160.5 km

By Deena-Maree Faulkner

A short, easy stage, today's race begins in Raymond Poulidor's home town of St Léonard de Noblat, warming the riders up for the mountain stages that are to come. The stage is short and the roads are rough, the only difficult thing they will encounter today. The sprinters have one of their last chances to score as they head into Guéret, the climbers will now get a chance to fly their colours.
