From Bourg-Saint-Maurice to the south-east, the Cormet de Roselend is 19.35 km long.

It was just before the summit on the Cormet de Roselend that Frenchman Stéphane Heulot cracked, lost the Maillot Jaune and bowed out of the race.

Spectators feared the worst but thankfully Bruyneel managed to climb back up, apparently unscathed.
