The Tour de France continues! RTBF.be/sport offers you to follow the 7th stage, which connects Fougères to Chartres over 231 kilometers, in full live video.
From Fougères to Chartres, from the gates of Brittany to the plain of the Beauce, the course of this 7th day of racing is the longest of this 105th edition of the Great Loop.
Echappée or sprint? If they want to fight for victory in the prefecture of Eure-et-Loir, the sprinters will probably have to agree to muzzle the fighters, advantaged by the length of the stage but handicapped by its straight profile.
" There is no guarantee that this stage will end in the sprint "said race director Thierry Gouvenou, warning that, depending on the weather, the wind could favor the borders in the last 50 kilometers.
After a pbadage off the famous cathedral, jewel of the UNESCO World Heritage city, the finish is judged at the end of a 600-meter straight line near the racecourse at the city entrance.
Chartres (42,000 inhabitants), a city-stage for the third time, hosts the Tour fourteen years after the success of the Australian Stuart O'Grady. The yellow jersey was worn by Thomas Voeckler, who would become the darling of the public by keeping him for ten days.
Departure from Fougères at 12:05 (real departure at 12:20), arrival in Chartres around 17:34 (forecast 44 km / h of average).
