Stage 7 preview: La Planche des Belles Filles climb threatens to blow the field apart
Daniel Lloyd of Team IG-Sigma rides Stage 7, from Tomblaine to La Planche des Belles Filles.
The last climb of the day has never featured in the Tour de France before and is extremely steep: it will present a chance for the climbers and perhaps a rider like Cadel Evans to grab a few seconds on GC rivals.
