9.3 km @ 3% = a rise of 280m but the rise on the profile is only 200m from the bottom of the valley and only 140m on the official climb. Something is out there.

Lastras to shock the forum with a win for the oldies.

 

[the sceptic]

is it the same stage as last year? Lulu for the win.

How I would love this! But I suspect he'll just be made to work all day. Still, we can dream

Looks different, last years profile. Climbs seem to be more near the end of the stage this year.

 

[manafana]

quiet an interesting stage as it could go either way, if Meersman was here he would be the first name in my head. Mezgec is good but maybe betancur can go well.

Lulu however will be doing something.

It's even a bit harder then last year.

But last year it did split in the descent, not on the climb. Guys like Fenn were the first of a large peloton at just 16 seconds (or something like that) from the 12-leaders.

So it will be interesting. Perhaps guys like Poulhies and Howard can survive.

Ok, get it thanks, was too easy

 

[manafana]

those bonus pts etc should be listed in the main really as such a key part of the race.
