The descent from San Pietro and the section between Scalea and Praia a Mare are very twisty. I think that the smaller the peloton, the happier the GC teams will be.

You never knows becouse cycling is not maths, and always can happen important things, but this stage is not for GC riders in theory, and I dont see Valverde taking bonus here, becouse the sprint is flat.
But is is not of course a stage for Kittel, Domoulin should take back the maglia.
Cancellara could try something, becouse his family come from that part of Italy, and the stage is good for him.
It is anyway a stage to see wich teams are strongers, and maybe we can see more from the GC contenders.

If the bunch is going to be reduced, Kittel will certainly not be there... La Ronca to attack at the last climb, and then who knows.

There's not a single sprinter in the peleton that could drop Kittel on hills in his current shape.

Roglic to solo from the base of the first climb to claw back most of the time he lost in Stage 3.
For this stage I would bet a good fast puncher like Ulissi or Colbrelli as well. Navardauskas would do great on that kind of terrain but his form looks not that good. Less probably but Chaves or Valverde to try something in the 18% ?
I don't see Kittel or any real sprinter getting it. It will ofc depend on the prloton pace as well.

Cannondale to go crazy from the start and set a fast pace to get rid of all the pure sprinters for Saga...oh wait, Navardauskas.

Those two have the potential but it looks like Moser will be in the breakaway ? Someone postee this earlier on the topic.

Re: Re:
Oh, and a little offtopic. Does anybody know what was this scuffle between Geniez and Dupont all about. It was after yesterday's stage. Maybe it had something to do with the crash.

Speaking about potential from Cannondale. What about Simon Clarke, Kirby's favourite. He certainly has also potential to do something in the finale.Krokro said:

Poor behavior from Geniez as far as I can see..
About Clarke, Cannondale has always a lot to provide but we will see who's checked this stage in his book

Surely Giant will be the ones really driving the pace here. Drop Kittel before the finish and they will be back in pink, and may well hold it for a couple of weeks.
If they're not going to go all out to drop Kittel here, then what is the point of eight of the riders on their team?
