Oooh, that is a very hard final 3km.

Vos unable to hold it. 

My mind is almost favouring the GC okes for this one when the boys do it. 

Rog and Pog FTW!

I wonder if the weather will effect MVDP? After the world champs a few years ago, I always doubt him in the cold/wet, but that's probably unfounded seen as he's spent his life doing cyclocross in crap weather. 

My guess though is that the last climb will come down to positioning, and that tips the scale towards WVA or JA imho.

he rides cyclocross. those guys are tough as nails.

Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out. GC boys might not want to take yellow on stage 1 but with no 3km safe zone will need to stay at the head of affairs right to the end so might just go for it, MVDP wants to win everything in the first 10 days, WVA says he's not riding for himself and only Roglic, JA won't be able to resist an opportunity for yellow... Evan Ewan has a chance if no one attacks on the climb and he can hang on for a reduced sprint.

2016 Sagan would probably take this in his sleep though.

I'm a Merckx, Lance and Valverde fan. I hope Wout wins. Sentiment with winners, not eternal seconds...

I'll change tack. 

I hope VDP wins, being a part of a family of losers... #underdog.
