The final stage of the first week at the Tour de France takes place this Sunday. The famous gravel stage that has been talked up for months is now finally upon us. It has arrived, stage 9 of the Tour de France, a day where the race may not be won but it may definitely be lost in the 32 kilometers of off-road racing.
Can Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert put on a show here and can Tadej Pogacar take time on his competitors?
