Well, never made one of these meeself...But seeing as this stage is expected to be so thrilling, I can't see why there isn't a thread already.

Technical Overview:
The first clear chance for the pure sprinters, a rather short stage with only one very easy GPM4, Capo Boi (GPM4, 2 km at 4.9%), at 40 km to go. Those 40 km are all along the coast, but strong winds there are unlikely, albeit not impossible. There is no city circuit in Cagliari, and the last kms are pretty straightforward.

Short and easy.

What to expect:
This should definitely be a mass sprint. Echelons can happen, but are very unlikely in this area.
