'Dale Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Greipel takes the red jersey today but with the German heading home this evening it will be passing it on to someone else.
'Dale Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Tomorrow is the first of the big mountain stages. This is what the riders can expect to face and it is no wonder some of the sprinters are going home this evening.
'Dale Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Tomorrow will be a tough test for Bob Jungels with four big classified climbs to contend with and he is likely to face some stiff competition for the maglia rosa. "I think that it will be a really tough stage. At the moment, I don’t really know where I am compared to the others in the really high climbs. I have showed that my shape is great but tomorrow will be the first test in the really high mountains and we will see what is going to happen."
Gen Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Greipel with the media ... already quite strong of the team to keep me there at the front and still be there for the leadout. It was amazing to follow the wheels of my teammates today. The plan was Jurgen Roelandts would hit the last corner first, and leave a little bit of a gap and then I could accelerate in his slipstream. It worked out really good. I wanted to do the sprint from the corner and I’m happy that it worked out like that.And he is packing his bags and going home tomorrow. . Plan was to only stay until today.

Personally I think we will see if Nibali is in shape tomorrow, Movistar is in a good position with Amador so expect him to attack, Nibali will have to defend and wont be able to hide behind Scarponi all the way again, Valverde just has to follow, its a perfect situation for him unless he cracks, but looking at his recent form, I think thats unlikely.
