Yes, that's the one - on my video it starts at about 13km, just after the lavender fields on the right hand side of the road. Up until then it's pan flat.

So would the entirety of France
Can't see it happening myself, I think Alaphilippe was flattered last because of the position in the team time trialVan der Poel and Wout Van Aert are going to be the next big young guns I think ... although Bernal is also looking good for a youngster. It really all comes down to who can really blow the others out of the water in the ITT's ... especially the final one after the mountains
Not sure what you mean by this - Deceuninck Quickstep finished behind both Ineos and Jumbo Visma in theTTT?So would the entirety of France

Mini Map Query
What on earth are those little icons on the bottom? I can never tell where I am. So, can anyone please tell me:
I presume we are riding from left to right...
1. The first one looks like a red finish flag, the second looks like the sprint?
2. The Z icon. Is that me? Or am I the little dot with the orange arrow in above the Z and suspended by white dots?
3. The blue finish flag? Is that the top of the climb?
I can't find anything online to explain it

On that course yesterday I rode right to left (based on the area and icons you highlighted). The 'Z' is the start banner, the Green is the Sprint and the Red is the KoM. Don't all maps show these?Mini Map Query

I was wondering why no time trial bike. Nice write up and strong race. Congratulations.
That's the route up the mountain, so just wondering where I am in relation to it.

Not necessarily... in this particular situation, the map is assuming (based on where you currently are on the map and also possibly the route you've chosen) that you are aiming to climb Ventoux - that's why the shaded area is showing such a climb towards the end! So if you were climbing Ventoux (or at least heading towards the Ventoux turning), you would be going left to right, but if you were coming down from the summit, then you'd be going right to left.
The red dotted flag is a KOM, the green dot is a sprint. In this route, it looks like the KOM is the Aqueduct (which is why it doesn't look very big), while the sprint would be the Ballon Sprint (which is on the winding road that cuts across the middle of the French map). If at any point you switch to another route by taking a junction that Zwift wasn't expecting you to pick, then this map will probably change and give you different dots based on the new route.
The Z should mark the start/finish banner of the route where it is a loop, or possibly in this case the Start Pens. You are the smaller orange dot appearing above the line, with the little white dots being other riders. If you look REALLY closely, your orange icon is supposed to show a tiny arrow in it pointing left or right to show which way you are facing, but on this screenshot it's a little blurry.
That's the top of Ventoux - like Alpe du Zwift, it gets a slightly different colour icon compared to standard KOMs.

Ah, I see .... the little orange circle is you in relation to these primes. The little grey dots are other riders ... but it's all so tiny that it's hard to see how accurate it can be. Must confess, I rarely look at it.
Edit: I see Steve has answered more comprehensively than me

And I noticed a couple of our lads are registered for both... I hope it doesn't mess anything up! (@Ketty & @Spartak you might wanna unregister for one of them!)

I won’t be racing this evening. I went out for a 30 mile jaunt this afternoon - decided that would probably be more comfortable than the garage at 7PM!
Took all the necessary precautions for the heat, clothing wise (not for the feint hearted: @<Tommy>):
Also @<Tommy> - I was wearing a blue/white jersey, black bibs, and riding a green bike...

Yes, and in doing so Alaphilippe gained 14 places on GC to 7th, with Phil Gil in 6th,
