Stage 18 Vif – Courchevel (171,5 km)

    The first Alpine stage of this year's Tour de France. The peloton will spend only two days in this region, the second one will be Stage 19.  There is no Alpe d'Huez this year, no Galibier or Col de ,a Celix de Fer, a.so two days seems pretty shor, but stil, there will be plenty of climbing.

    As usual, Col de la Madeleine is a mid-stage ascent in the Alps. But what if one day it would be a hilltop finish?
