Another mainly tarmac stage on a sunny afternoon. Don't be fooled by the start of the stage and think that the road has become wider again. Once past the set of farmers fields, the hedgerows close in once more. Don't pick up too much speed on this section and look out for a sharp turn. Be watching out for the point of the stage that runs between a line of trees - a similar turn follows here too. You shouldn't really have any problems on this stage and, ideally, you should really expect to win at Parkanaur.
