On stage five the peloton will once again have a team time-trial to the surprise of many, this time with 28 kilometers of distance.

Stage six is a hilly day to Oyonnax where the Tour de France has had a stage finish in 2014, and the final three stages see the rider head into the Alps. Stage 7 seems a summit finish in Saint François Longchamp, stage 8 takes the riders through the Col de la Madeleine/La Toussuire combination, and the final day of racing sees the peloton go up and down the Col de l'Iseran for a race finale in Villaroger.
