How much do you think the slight rise at the end will count against Bouhanni? Will Nizzolo and Swift benefit enough?
 
Maybe the break will be brought back before the intermediate sprint. 70 points in total up for grabs for the points jersey today (20 + 50)

Or maybe FDJ are keeping such a short leash on this break because there are storms forecast for the finish circuit and they don't want an all out chase in those conditions

It will have zero impact.
Bunch sprint involving everybody unless we have a crash.

It will definitely be a full bunch sprint but wondered if the slight rise at the end might affect Bouhanni more and let somebody else win the stage, like Nizzolo or Swift?

These rain jackets are a hazard, a Garmin rider was very lucky, one jammed in his rear wheel, he luckily stayed upright.

Thomas Dekker. Once winner of Tirreno Adriatico and Tour de Romandie. Now bringer of water bottles and jackets for his more talented teammates. Oh how the mighty can fall

We know how he became mighty, that's the difference...

It wasn't all dope. He was a world class u23/junior without dope. It's logical you throw away a reasonable comeback if you do 1,5 years of nothing.

He might have been at least a usefull domestique clean if he did train during that time. Like in his year at Silence Lotto.
