Looking forward to an attack on last climbs. Rui Costa could try something out, as he will prolly struggle Friday on that HC climb.
 
Betting markets suggest this stage will be battled out by the sprinters however surely it seems better suited to a breakaway group or some GC men having a crack on the last climb
 
I like Demare for this FDJ have done well past two days putting him right up their.
 
Even if Costa could get away on the climbs, i am sure TJVG could pull him back for Frank in the last 8 or so km.

I think Sagan will take this one, a select group (!0-20) with all the GC favourites will come in, with Sagan being able to follow. If not a breakaway.
 
I live in Zurich and I can tell you that today the view will be great 😉
Unfortunately I don't know well the 3rd categorie climb since usually I do another way more suitable for the bikers... but It should be quite hard as well.
 
Anyone know the profile of that 3rd Cat. climb? Is it any steep to have an impact? It's 25km to the finish line which should be alright unless it is a 10% wall.
 
such a pity they dont do the Etzel from Pfäffikon !

Here are the last 30 km:

Hmm, from what I've seen yesterday and on Tuesday I doubt anyone will be dropped there.
 
I expect a big group to finish, most of the guys should be able to stay on or catch up, Sagan should be able to take it.
 
Unless we get a serious group going after prolonged break action, these guys will be in focus again:

The last climb looks fairly decent for 1day racers to try and go for a solo/small group effort. Perhaps time for the likes of Gilbert to get something out of this.
 
Cannondale might set a high pace on that hill to tire the other sprinters.
 
a group including LuLu and Gilbert to break free on the cat.3 mountain and LuLu to outsmart his breakaway companions. Gilbert sprints to 2nd.
 
We're going to be bored to death until Demare wins the stage ahead of Goss, Sagan and Kristoff. Then Liberty Seguros is going to lament on how this stage could've been so much better if they added 7 HC cols. And then someone gets banned for calling the winner a doper.

Wait! TGBM will make it all worth while again 🙂

I'm doing the Belgian thing and have cracked open the beer till Eurosport comes on.

But he couldn't, that's the problem. Kreuziger won't let him for sure. On this parcours he's also very strong.
