"The afternoon will start with a loop of three special stages. The start of the first one, which covers 22.88km and includes the notorious Col des Planches, is still in La Luy, while the finish is located in Sembrancher. A second pass through Bagnes will be followed by the 9.91km Champex stage. A second loop will take the crews to the Col des Planches and Champex stages again before they return to Martigny at 6.25pm for the last service of the day and a well deserved overnight halt from 7.10pm.
"The same principle applies to Saturday October 25. After the 20-minute service at 8:00am, three stages will be repeated twice. The first one (SS11, 27.57km) is Vercorin, while Veysonnaz is SS12 (9.90km). From there, competitors will head towards another resort, Nendaz, for the 12.30km SS13. Between the two loops of the day are another 20-minute service in Martigny at 12.29 pm and a second pass through the Les Casernes special stage in Sion at 1.15pm.
"Exiting the last 20-minute service scheduled at 3:45pm, survivors will enjoy the final podium ceremony in Martigny at 4.45pm. All the ingredients are in place for another spectacular visit to Switzerland."
