Even better ride than it first seems. According to richie porte on twitter Froome forgot to take his nose plugs out. Not sure if he did the whole prologue with them in or if he took them out whilst riding, at least a couple of seconds lost.
Got a sneaky suspicion that either a big hope who has lost time, like gadret or one of the supposed 2nd tier gc riders like henao may just give it a go up the last climb.
A lot depends on how it is raced. If the break stays can see someone like degent taking it, if a reduced bunch sprint, maybe visconti. Cant see any sprinters being there at the finish. Would have had this as a hushovd stage normally but doesnt seem in shape.
