the music at the finish line is from The Magnificent Seven movie

Maaaaaaaarten said:It's a shame the finale is a bit week. Stage looks intresting but the final climb has to much flat before it, so nobodies going to do anything in the rest of the stage which is full of climbs and the last climb in itself is a bit too easy. Probably random break, maybe bunch sprint if they can be bothered. If they race it hard, maybe reduced sprint so Hushovd or Breschel can win or something like that.
But yeah, because of the easier finale probably just a break.
