    Stumps

    I know its not till Sunday but i might as wll get the ball rolling.

    Described as a medium mountain stage its seems to fit the bill perfectly for Sagan however when you look at each lap of the course the first climb is about 4.5kms with a max gradient of 9% followed by a downhill section.

    The sting in the tail is the little burst just 6kms before the end which is only 600 metres but rises to 16% then its downhill the whole way bar a 100m lump 2.5k from the end.

    If someone gets away on the last 600m rise then its going to be hard bringing them back again.

    Break seems to be forming, seems to include Barta, Huzarski, Brandle and Chtioui.

    Edit: Godoy the fifth man in the break. Sound like it’s those five away for the time being.

    Confirmation of why
    Confirmation of why Tiernan-Locke withdrew.

    Appears that he had ‘discrepancies’ in his biological passport last September (no confirmation if it was during the Tour of Britain or not).
