A flashback to Corsica.

 

A higher aerial shot of, I think, part of Stage 2.

 

Gorgeous.

Yeah... didn't think I'll make it die to a supplier meeting. .. but here I get home, put my tv on and get to see the last 37km of the race. ...

 

so what's the speculations??

 

Windy.

 

Time for the power sprinter to come forward.

Or just a well timed sprint. Delay the final burst as late as possible.

 

Well suited to Greipel.

 

Hmmm....

question from a noob- Greipel and Kittel are riding 54/11. Could Cav swap bikes and get a better gearing set, based on the prevailing wind, close to the end, even if he "pretended" to have a mechanical?

 

Yeah.

I've seen riders change their bikes at the foot of a climb to get a better gear ratio.

The risk is always though that the rider will 'lose touch' with the peloton.
