Bump yes but with 60km remaining everyone should be back together for the sprint

Not much at all.

Love to see Sagaaan in yellow, but it is a pure sprinter's finish nê?

Haven't studied the course in detail yet.

Maybe he gets lucky.

 

It sure is gonna be hot in the final 10 kms!

According to the cyclingnews.com app, Sunday's stage has as much climbing as an Alpine stage, but spread over the entire route instead of in one or two big climbs.

 

When I see stages like this, I think of Gilbert, Bettini, Valverde, Purito and a few others, perhaps even Rui Costa (classic one day specialists).

 

Most of the GC contenders won't want to be wearing yellow this early, so it could be a one-day specialist that wins, if they can get into a break.

Could also be a Sagan stage!
