Bunch sprint for sure, the last 50K are way too easy for it all not to come back together (baring crashes or similar).
Sunny warm weather with little wind.
I'm picking Kooij, Groves or possibly Van Uden for this one.
Pedersen may have a shot, if Lidl makes the race really hard, but the problem is that also tends to favour Groves.
Caveat is it's stage 18 - so fatigue may change everything.

van Aert apparently said that he aims for the break, so I struggle to really see anyone but Alpecin and maybe DSM interested in a sprint.
There's also more of a tailwind in the 2nd part and a very technical circuit in the end, so it's hard to make up ground. If the break is strong (and I see no reason why it wouldn't be), it should make it.

I'm really surprised - apparently Pedersen is also aiming for the break (according to the pre-stage coverage).
IMO It only works if it is a huge break (or break of all elite riders), with so much flat at the end, but I have been proven wrong before

Pedersen just said in the pre-stage interview, that Lidl wants a big break to go today, so they take all the points for the points jersey.
No word on whether he wants to be in it himself - but that seems obvious

Groves said that they need to catch the break before the circuit to have a chance, so (if true), that basically cuts the distance in half.

He'll risk crashing out both himself and others in this condition.

The team should force him to retire.

I dont think Ayuso should start...he has a big risk of crashing and he is of no use to anyone least of all himself

This is one of those walk the tight rope 'best post ever vs. banned' posts. I'm siding with the former.
