Wonder if any sprinters go for essentially stage 5. Rest are for climbers really. Don't mind the TTT given they'll be doing another a couple of weeks later.

THe Otways have been evacuated. The only chance is to go to the other side of Melbourne to Gippsland and given today's temperature that's not ideal either.
There is rain forecast Friday through Sunday so CEGORR should be okay
