Gap up to 3' after 30km
I've gone all in on a sprint today and tomorrow. I expect a few people will see last years result with the split peloton and selection of climbers and pick the likes of Moreno and Contador. I've gone the other way and I'm hoping for a Meersman-esque double from one of my sprinters:
Mezgec
Nizzolo
Dumoulin
Ratto
Howard
LL Sanchez
Alaphilippe
Yates
Agnoli
Purist is more balanced than most as I'm hoping for a couple of sprint finishes:
Froome
Contador (had Quintana in until this morning but heard he has a cold)
Mezgec
Howard
Arrendondo
LL Sanchez
Jesper Hansen
Chaves
