The 40.7 kilometre route leads from Lacapelle-Marival to Rocamadour. The course is relatively undulating and has an average gradient of eight per cent over 1.5 kilometres at the end.
Nevertheless, Vingegaard, who is regarded as a good time trialist, should have no problems defending his yellow jersey with a lead of over three minutes. Italian world champion Filippo Ganna and Belgian all-rounder Wout van Aert are also in with a chance of winning the stage.
