    Seems a pretty similar stage to yesterday although the climbs are closer to the end which may thin out the bunch.  Another day for Degenkolb?

    I've made two changes, out go Rosa (DNS) and Oliphant, in come Colbrelli and Giraud so my ideal result would be pretty similar to yesterday.

    Looks similar (pas de couelle is the HC climb today) and looks like it ended in a sprint. All depends how it’s ridden, although there aren’t many strong teams. To me looks like either a small break to survive or BMC would have to try to rip it apart for degenkolb not to be there to contest. Then again…..

    Yeah true, its not that far for them to dig in and get over without losing to much time. Mind you if the peloton want to push it up the earlier cat 3 there might be less about when they hit the HC climb. Here’s hoping as i’ve dumped all my sprinters.

    This is pulled from the roadbook. HC climb looks steep but not too high, caps out at about 500m so it’s actually lower than the cat 3 climb earlier in the stage.

    Depending on how fast the peloton takes it it could dump some sprinters but with 25km to the end some of the stronger ones like Degenkolb should get back on.

    Checked on Steephill and according to the profile there is an HC climb at 145km. Dont know if thats the same as a GT HC but if it is then the sprinters are going to struggle.
