I always have that feeling in Ardooie. That street feels too narrow for a full bunch sprint.
thanks, I was struggling to read much into the profile. Should be interesting indeedTomorrow's stage features two different final circuits, both done twice. The long circuit starts with the Slingerberg, used in last year's impromptu time trial...
...followed by the Keiberg, at 10.8k to go...
...and then finally the Letenberg, just 4.9k from the line.
The second circuit only uses the final two of these climbs. The finish is slightly uphill, with the first 350 metres of the profile below...
...then another 200 metres at 3.5% to the finish line, so in total 550 metres at 4%. This one should interest a variety of rider types.

With neither Evenepoel nor Van der Poel here, a bunch sprint looks a lot more likely now, don't think every sprinter will make it though.
