Stage profile
Chris Froome: “I believe that in 2017 the Tour will be won in the mountains. Only one time trial of 23km, plus a prologue of 13km, which means that it’s going to be a race that is won or lost in the mountains. The stage that goes up the Mont du Chat (Stage 9 between Nantua and Chambéry) looks very tough to me. “ (FranceTV Sport).
