Stage 7 is the longest of the entire tour at 231 kilometers. However, it is is pretty flat, meaning Toms has a good chance of retaining the jersey again before the climbers' battle really takes off in the more mountainous stages.
The real #TDF2018 starts today. More then 230kms in one day. #TourDeTFS

UPDATE: Toms did indeed retain the polka dot jersey and wears it again on stage 8.
