Re:

Is today's stage more likely to be won by one the GC climbers, a sprinter or a breakaway?

Sagan unless Talansky/Bookwalter attack from the start.

A rider in the breakaway, likely one of the two RALLY boys in the breakaway. Look to see the top 10 GC slug it out on the final climb.

Wow, the race is on today!

Morton is making it interesting.

Lochlan, the rabbit drawing out the Greyhounds

 

[Screecher]

Degenkolb with his usual negative racing. Probably going to win the stage.

 

[SlickMongoose]

The peloton doesn't look very organised to me.

 

[May0maniac]

I have to say it, Britton and Huffman are great, always in the breakaway and always riding their hearts out.
Morton is also a pretty awesome climber.

 

[staubsauger]

Rallye in full CSF mode! #AtoC

 

[SlickMongoose]

Ridiculous from Sky, Lopez leading out the sprint just to take the white jersey away from Tao.

 

[spalco]

The *** was Lopez thinking there? Terrible sprint.

Huffman wins the stage and Lotto-NL the 4th Grand Tour.

 

[RedheadDane]

Those Rally guys are amazing!
Damn, they've earned that special right to participate!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Kudos to Lachlan Morton. Great ride today after the disastrous time trial yesterday. Truly deserving winner of the white jersey.

The whole race, full of surprizes, hats off to the sponsor, and organizers.

That was actually a pretty good short stage race, probably one of the best editions of the Tour of California.

Nice to keep the stages short, with a brutal TT the day before, nicely organized race. Lochland Morton...nice rider.

Especially Thursday & Friday were big entertainment!

 

[Velolover2]

Evan Huffman to return to WT next year?

Maybe on Garmin or BMC.

Wow, Sagan not looking like the biggest stoner on the podium, that's rather unusual.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

LottoNL winning stage races with Bennett and Roglic. How about that. One of the smallest budgets in the WT

 

[avanti]

What ever happened to Phinney. Guess he LL retire soon.

Perhaps because Phinney was a support rider, not the team leader.

Think Sagan almost got some sassy sort of new haircut...

It was cute to see George Bennett on the top, though, it was almost like he didn't known what to do with champagne bottle!

He crashed but is ok besides for a bit of bruising and skin loss
