Huge chance to isolate Kruijswijk early, then do all kinds of weird attacks on the flat

Technical Overview:
Unofficial rest day for the peloton, just before the final rush into the Alps. There is only one categorized climb, Passo S.Eusebio (7.3 km at 3.5%, GPM4), very easy and very far from the finish. There is actually another climb, much earlier in the day, starting in Tione di Trento, with roughly 5 km at 5%, uncategorized for no reason. In any case, the last 86 km of this stage are dead flat. There is only one tricky bend in the last 5 km, and it is at just 600m to go, so it might be a problem.

We've got only this profile from salite.ch, although the numbers don't quite match. They will probably do a slightly different variant.

Bunch sprint.
