The Tour de France never before visited Gevrey-Chambertin, while Nuits-Saint-Georges was a finishing venue in 2017. Back then, the riders came from Troyes, a race of 213.5 kilometres, and Marcel Kittel took the spoils in a photo-finish sprint ahead of Edvald Boasson Hagen.
No photo finish will be needed this time, just a clock in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The 7th stage of the Tour de France is a time trial through the rolling landscape of Burgundy.
The riders face one climb along the way. The Côte de Reulle-Vergy appears 10 kilometres into the race and goes uphill for 1.5 kilometres with an average gradient of 6.5%. The route continues to climb false flat for almost 4 kilometres before a downhill leads to Chambolle-Musigny. The rest of the route is flat.
The last Tour de France saw only one time trial, a 22.4 kilometres race from Passy to Combloux with the short and steep Côte de Domancy to pep things up. Jonas Vingegaard was on fire that day. The Dane stormed to a impeccable victory, 1.38 minutes ahead of Tadej Pogacar, with Wout van Aert in third at 2.51 minutes
