The course from Avranches to Mont-Saint-Michel is the third-shortest stage in the 2013 Tour de France, only one kilometer longer than Stage 17 and eight kilometers longer than Stage 4. Ahead of the race, Froome described the course as “flat and fast,” a stark difference from many of the mountainous stages in the Tour. Froome retained his ownership of the yellow jersey.
