Cycling. Route d'Occitanie: a time trial to start

The Route d'Occitanie will begin with a time trial this Wednesday. Then, after a hilly stage, the high mountains will take over on Friday with the Tourmalet and the finish in Luz Ardiden, before a final, mountainous day on Saturday.

In the peloton, we'll be following Wagner Bazin with Henri-François Haquin, Victor Papon, Jocelyn Baguelin, and the Italian Marco Tizza in particular. Pierre Gautherat (Décathlon AG2R La Mondiale) will be on the lookout for a possible sprint but will mainly work for his leaders. Théo Delacroix (Saint-Michel Preference Home Auber 93) should once again attempt to break away to aim for a stage.
