STAGE 9 : Malemort > Ussel

Before the first rest day, the Malemort-Ussel stage is full of traps. The Corrèze roads are packed with climbs, surges and grueling stretches, with more elevation than a stage without a mythical big climb might suggest. Breakaway riders will fight to catch the right move, while the favorites will need to avoid nasty surprises before they can catch their breath. It's a perfect day for endurance riders, capable of repeating efforts without losing focus.
