Stage 5 is the race’s only individual time trial: 21 km from Mâcon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais.
Route and profile
With no bunch cover and no second chance later in the week, the ITT becomes one of the main GC reference points of the entire edition.
How the stage could race
The specialists will target the stage, but the bigger story is how much time the overall contenders gain or lose before Ventoux and Nice.
Who it suits
A top-tier time trialist or complete GC rider is the right match.
