TOUR DE FRANCE 2007: STAGE FOUR INFO
When: Wednesday, July 11
Where: Villers Cotterets-Joigny
Length: 193km
DESCRIPTION
It only seems like the Tour has been going for a few days, but this is already one of the last chances for the sprinters to have things their way.
The route meanders south through Villers Cotterets, with nothing much in the way of difficulties. Four category four climbs are included, but tactically these are unlikely to have any effect.
The final 15km comprises a flat dash along the banks of the Yonne river into Joigny.
