Preview stage 4. From the 8th to the 11th of February, racing in France continues. After a year of absence, the riders once again take to the start of the
Tour de la Provence, with four days of racing in the Mediterranean coast with the good weather.
The race ends in Arles this year. No mountains on the course, the race is suited to the sprinters and will end with a pan-flat day. The wind may play a role in the exposed coastal roads, where the race will ultimately be decided.
