This will be a day for the climbers but the GC leaders will be sure to follow any challengers. With several long climbs there will, however, be many opportunities for breaks: will this be the day for a South African team to make a bolt for a stage win? Perhaps Darren Lill and Waylon Woolcock (USN Purefit), both light and good climbers, will fancy their chances.

 

and here i thought all MTBers were climbers, where's that angry vet to remind how little i know...

Reckon this stage is going to cull some stragglers - transition stages seem to be the toughest.
