Hi, thanks! The arrow, well it looks right on my end (Windows, Firefox, forum at full width). If you're using a different setup, it might very well look off. The only sure way of making it look right for everyone would be to make 21 different images with the arrow included, and I just didn't have the energy... Ahh, I'll look into it, guess it wouldn't take long.Vesica said:Praying Mantis, very nice opening posts for every stage, thanks for that! One little thing, the red arrow (nice invention) is one stage ahead of the actual stage..yesterdag at stage 3 is was pointing at 4, now at stage 4 it is pointing at 5.
Samamba said:So I looked at the last 8km in Veloviewer. The little climb starting at 8k from the finish is 900m at 7% and the uphill finish is 675m at 6.3% (so no 5%). It looks like the first 300m are the steeper ones. The downhill before the last k will make the uphill finish less hard though.
Kittel definitely won't make it and I don't think that Cav & Greipel will win here. Not because they can't handle a finish like this but cause the stage in general is harder than some of you think. The stage is almost 240k and apparently the 30km between kilometer 180 and kilometer 210 are pretty hard.
