I see 35 km/h tail cross winds predicted tomorrow



Stage 10: Scandiano – Viareggio 196 km

Tuesday, May 16th, 12:05 – 17:10 CEST













Technical Overview:
A transitional stage very similar to stage 5, with a demanding first half and an easy finale. From Scandiano, the peloton will head south to cross the Appennines on very rough terrain, full of small ramps that can be pretty steep too, like the first one, Baiso (2.8 km at 8.4%). This entire first half is dominated by the huge-looking ascent of the Passo delle Radici (GPM2, 7.1 km at 4.4%), which starts with the intermediate sprint of Villa Minozzo. This is a very irregular climb that features some sustained ramps at over 6% in between a lot of false flat. The top is at 107 km to go, and its much more regular descent brings already to the last climb of the day, Monteperpoli (GPM4, 2.4 km at 9%). From here on, it is all smooth sailing for the last 70 km, with the intermediate sprint of Ponte a Moriano at 42 km to go before the riders reach the sea and the finishing line in Viareggio.







The Climbs:

Passo delle Radici
: GPM2, 7.1 km at 4.4%

Very irregular climb without particularly steep ramps. Mildly interesting, it is one of the roads that lead to the mythical Passo di Pradaccio (aka San Pellegrino in Alpe). Sadly, it bears no similarity with that climb. No profile.

Monteperpoli: GPM4, 2.4 km at 9%

Short but really steep. It would be a very good climb for an attack if it was close to the finish. Which it is not, so we don’t even get a profile. Sad.

What to Expect:

Just like stage 5, breakaway or mass sprint. Here there is much more flat terrain in the end so the peloton has better chances.

Actually I think I'm mistaken and that most of the wind is predicted to be slightly to the south east of most of this stage.

Weather is not going easy on the peloton this year. Lots of rain forecasted for tomorrow as well.

Am I crazy for thinking no break will go for the first hour or two and the peloton will just get smashed to bits on the uphill part of the stage?
Going by the first week I'd say it's unlikely but one can hope.

Hopefully no serious crashes. Wouldn't mind if sprinter teams would control/chase. Or if Ineos would work. If Ineos to start playing with the numbers then hopefully for JV to not waste too much effort.

Magnus for the win this time! (Gotta check the start list first now, though, have to see who is still in this race tomorrow morning.)

Ineos try to give up Pink, breakaway wins - big group I would guess. Everyone complains about the weather.

If you were Ineos, wouldn't you try putting Sivakov in the breakaway during the next few stages?

Still on the first page. You can tell Remco has gone home. Less BS to read through. :D

Let's see if Van Wilder can now start to climb up the GC table and gain a top 10.

Milan for the win

G to lose pink before Friday (intentionally or not)
