Tour de France 2012: Stage 15 preview
Stage 15
Date: Monday July 16
Start: Samatan
Finish: Pau
Length: 158.5km
Type: Flat/hilly
The sprinters should get their chance again on what is a relatively flat route, although expect the breakaway specialists - especially from teams yet to win a stage - to go on the attack soon after the start.
Three minor climbs in the final third of the stage may disrupt the peloton's chase or, alternatively, act as a springboard for a late attack; but the odds are that a sprinter will survive and take victory in the beautiful and historic city of Pau with its majestic Pyrenean backdrop.
