Van Poppel, Ciolek and Thomas could possibly go well here?

^^Yes the KBK cancellation should certainly make this a lot more interesting! Riders fresher, possibility of swaps and last chance to impress for the classics teams before another spell of training.

Sky's team looks pretty solid:
EISEL Bernhard Austria
HAYMAN Mathew Australia
PUCCIO Salvatore Italy
RASCH Gabriel Norway
ROWE Luke United Kingdom
SUTTON Christopher Australia
SWIFT Ben United Kingdom
THOMAS Geraint United Kingdom

I think we need a good match up.

Here is a video of the 2011 finale

I have not seen the road in real life but from the TV it always seems like a really long, slightly uphill drag. I like it a lot as a finish

I think last year was a sprint from a reduced peloton right? In any case you don't want to start your sprint too early I believe!

Very good racing, nice finish. And what a fight by Klemme there!
