This timed stage will start near the marina of Caen. The riders will pass emblematic sites such as the ducal castle and the university, before heading towards the Memorial and crossing the communes of Saint-Contest, Cairon and Authie. The course, mostly flat with wide roads, will highlight the power of the riders. The finish will be along the racetrack of Caen.
