Stage 12 - Friday, July 20: Montpellier - Castres, 178.5km

By Tim Maloney, European Editor

Friday will be another hot day that starts from Montpellier, capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, and another transitional stage as the Tour heads inland from the Mediterranean coast to the textile town of Castres. Although an early break should get away in the flat first half of the stage, a counter-attack on the tough 10.4-kilometres climb of Mont�e de la Jeante with 60 kilometres to go could be successful.
