THURSDAY, JULY 25

Aime-Cluses 142km

Although there are four climbs, the 17th stage will be a gentle goodbye to the Alps with the finish close to Geneva and the Swiss border, says Cycling Weekly magazine.

The tree-covered climbs of the Col des Aravis and the Col de la Colombièr are old favorites, while the start and finish towns are new to the Tour. A perfect day for a long breakaway.
