Surely this is a finish for a puncheur, not a climber

I think Nibbles will beat Gilbert today.

 

[ILovecycling]

My outside pick is Huzarski

I think Nibbles will beat Gilbert today.

Gilbert still suffer from his crash in Eneco.
I hope Henao and Ulissi will do well today.

 

[Leonardus]

Something for Meersman?

I think Omega will for Styby today.

 

[maltiv]

I think Nibbles will beat Gilbert today.

I think about 100 riders will beat Gilbert today...

Still think that a puncheur will win though, e.g. Meersman or LL Sanchez.

Wanna signature bet Meersman vs. Valverde? (My avatar is already taken )

 

[greenedge]

What about Matthews?
If not him Gerrans could be a chance for OGE.

Other than that i don't know who can take it.

Not really, no, I think Valverde could definitely beat Meersman, even in a sprint.

 

[SafeBet]

Strong tailwind on the climb would make it for a fast finale. In that case Meersman probably has the edge.

Tailwind would help the lighter rider.

 

[saneguy]

Valverde has a good chance today. MIght just win it!

I just hope those Shack boys are able to keep up with the final group. Kiserlovski, IMO, rode an exceptional Giro considering he had zilch support almost through the race. Hoping for him to do well here.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Soft break of 5 have 3.30 minutes or so, about 15km raced:
Fabricio Ferrari (64), Cyril Bessy (83), Pablo Urtasun (98), Luca Dodi (134) and Vicente Reynes (145)

 

[Leonardus]

Looks like a calm day until the final 10km, unless there's an opportunity for echelons.

 

[Netserk]

They have indeed resurfaced the final 1.4(?) km.

Resurfaced?? More like completely rebuilt!

I think Movistar ride hard on the climb (again) and Valverde wins this....

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Basso to sprint to victory

Probably Valverde or Stybar or someone like that will prove ti be the fastest man today.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Not one reply so far on how rubbish that profile is?

Waw.

 

[dgodave]

So I'm checking in with the feeds.... and its yesterdays finish.

Meanwhile, I'm missing all kinds of coastal loveliness. Or is today the first rest day?

It's rubbish?

And it's supposedly a recession

 

[Arredondo]

This one is to long for Matthews, i even doubt Meersman can win here. Looks more for a Gerrans or Valverde.
