Only that Kittel will be dropped one climb later.

By who? Orica?

No, the climb.

Not if Etixx can control things.
'control things' as in setting a low enough pace to allow kittel to not be dropped? Unless it's a bike path they're riding, every other team can just ride by and set a higher tempo.

Kittel cannot win this stage, no matter the tactics

For tomorrow and Saturday it doesn't smell good. A TTist can win Romandie if the 2 mountain stages are cancelled.
Like virtually always, you mean.

Yup, Zakarin and afrime only won the last couple of editions due to their tt :rolleyes:
When was the last time Romandie was won by a poor time trialist? 1990s? 1980s?

Unlike other races, Romandie does not give bad TT'ers a chance to recoup their losses in the mountains.

thats more due to the fact that you will rarely find a GT rider who is a poor timetrialist nowadays
Whatever the cause, the fact remains that a strong time trialist winning Romandie is the general rule, not the exception.
