The Queen stage of this year’s race awaits. There are two categorised climbs before the lung-busting ascent to Vallter, but they matter little in the grand scheme of things - it's all about the final climb! Vallter 2000 is a 17.7km-long beast with an average gradient of 6.1% and max gradients of 13%. It also tops out at 2,120m, making it the highest summit finish to feature in a WorldTour stage race so far this year.
