Criterium International stage 2
The first of two stages for the day is only 98.5 km long, but jagged as all get out with no less than nine hills, between 200-400 meters with some relatively steep, leg-breaking slopes.

The stage starts at 8:35!! and finishes between 10:59-11:15, in time for a little lunch and a nappy before the afternoon’s final time trial.
