This is what I needed to know cause for a second I thought Groves could even make it if it was the Veneto finish. I'm assuming they are finishing on the steeper straight here? Perfect for punchers then.

Bernal: We attack today!
Roglic: Sorry I can't hear you, I have something stuck in my ear

Oh thats interesting. I thought it was the same.
Do you know how much shorter it was in Veneto?

they take the same road, but in Veneto the finish is right after the corner.
So it's only a ~300m difference, but I'd think it should make the difference, and turn out to be too hard for the sprinters - even the punchy ones.
UAE no, but don't rule out LIDL doing it for Ciccone, like they did the other day, or Q36.5 for Pidcock.

Also don’t think Lidl will do it. Unless they have no one in the break but I expect a large group to go away for the stage win.

The breakaway will be a Bardiani, a Polti Visit Malta and an Arkea. Mads will get 3 plus 3 at the intermediate sprints. They will be caught. A strong punchy rider, probably up in the GC, will win. No sprinter will win this unless you count Vendrame as a sprinter.

If LIDL wants, this stage is easier to control than the one Carapaz won. There are too many flat kilometers.

For some reason I had subtitles on. That made the experience very fun. Nice move by Tunnel Kanga who was very strong and dropped Pelle Dotty, but in the end Jill Bear was unstoppable.
That finish is hard to predict. The last ramp should kill most of the sprinters, but Pedersen looks really strong. Its not like a 500 meter 6% uphill sprint where the versatile sprinters like Pedersen and Groves always win.
It should be del Toro after what I have seen the last days. UAE won't control the break though.

Masnada spotted at the front!
He should help Scaroni and Ulissi in the break.

Pedersen voicing pre-stage that the finale is borderline for him - he will go for it, but if he does not have the legs the team has Ciccone and Vacek as alternatives.
Reasonable chance that the pin is pulled at some point in the stage and they take a rest day allowing 15 minutes, so I can see why the break fight is a bit livelier than the usual.

Less wind than yesterday, so echelons are unlikely.
This will be a standard sprinters stage until the last 50K.
Jayco should nuke it to OTL Fortunato and get Paul Double back in the KOM like they did with Kittel in the Tour years back.
