Will be very interesting to see whether Dumoulin time trials the climb or whether he's going to try and stick to Quintana's wheel this time.

Re:
Could it be a viable tactic for Sunweb to absolutely drill the flat 120km's of the stage, assuming it hurts Quintana more than Dumoulin? Downside is you leave Movistar a little fresher to drill the climb a wee bit harder and the break isn't taking bonifications
Should definitely go TT mode if Quintana attacks.SeriousSam said:

Quintana needs to psh the pace and finish in front of Tam. If he gets time great but he needs to make him hurt.

Pinot most likely winner for me and I'd expect FDJ to ride accordingly. Wouldn't be surprised to see Fraile hang on to the favourites and beat a lot of them in the finish

Re: Re:
As for sunweb trying to wear quintana or movi out by riding a flat approach hard, well, no point really. Quintana will be mostly hiding in the peloton doing less than 150watts at, say, 80-100bpm,ie mostly pure revovery pace apart from short fluctuations in speed that happen regardless of who is driving the peloton.
Dumoulin should defend in an itt mode, yes.Red Rick said:

If forms are similar to Blockhaus, I have a hard time seeing Quintana drop everybody when he needed a bunch of accelerations to break Nibali and Dumoulin stayed withing half a minute. He takes that kind of time to break somebody again and the climb will be way over. Also, no false flat to shed half the peloton.

20 minute effort suit Dumoulin, a bit like that Vuelta finish where he beat Froome.
If Quintana/Nibali win time at all it will be < 20s

Re: Re:
Not really. He was never far behind (and certainly not 30 seconds like some say) and the team was very strong in the chase.

Pinot to leapfrog Mollema today.
Could well win the stage as well. Yates sure to have a dig at some point too.
