Don Johnson said:Honer is just playing the audience, and it is quite entertaining. Levi whining in the press conference and Horner, bagging Levi on another website chapaue Horner, great rider, entertainer, and intelligent guy.

I guess I'm not amused by the trash talk over someone's injury recovery or the public trash talk in general. We have the NBA and boxing here in America for that crap. It's beneath Horner. Many cyclists show far more respect for their competitors.

From 40.37km until 50.08km, roughly constant from 934 to 1137. about 2%
then a decent, I think we can disregard this
from 52.08 to 57.24, constant from 1083 to 1233, roughly 4%
no decent
then 57.24 to 62.95 constant from 1233 to 1585, about 7%
total 10.87km at 4.6%
small flat 500m or so
then 63.56 to 69.95 from 1585 to 1884 about 5%
then a decent and the top is 2.9km at 7%.
My thoughts, if it were the final climb of the day it would be telling, but as it is fairly shallow, and a long way from the finish, we can reasonably expect a tempo ride, hopefully a duarte break and nothing telling about Sagan's climbing.
We know from experience the final climb is nothing for Sagan.
