How this stage was measured

The course comes from ASO's own published geometry, the same data that draws the stage map on letour.fr, not from a route planner joining towns. VeloWorkout measures 178.5 km against the 179.1 km the roadbook prints, and 1,556 m of climbing against a published 1,800 m. Elevation is sampled from the Terrarium elevation model and smoothed, so digital-model noise is not counted as climbing.

Waypoint positions agree with ASO's separately published climb positions to a median of 131 m (worst 230 m). Climbing total disputed: ASO 1800 m against PCS 1412 m. It measures 1556 m of climbing against a published 1800 m (-13.6%).
