Open the route details in PDF format!

The real "Valromey" continues today, and I think the 2017 edition will be one of the toughest yet. This 3rd stage is intended to be very short (81.8 km), after 10 km of neutralized sections, and will include a 13 km ascent of a 1st category pass, so watch out for riders who haven't warmed up sufficiently. This will be followed by a 15 km descent to St-Rambert-en-Bugey (a new commune to join the plaine de l'Ain com) to climb the 2nd GPM of the stage. This stage will feature only two 1st category GPMs, after which there will be 29 km of flat to the finish. This flat section should allow some regrouping, but if there is regrouping, 250 m from the finish you'll have to negotiate a highly technical right-hand bend to win! And it'll be the smartest one!
