The last climb looks promising, better than on paper.
Maybe we'll see a lesser GC contender lose time but with the final 10km being flat I don't see anything major happening.

Last 10KM aren't flat. Undulating. Stage has been ridden hard someone might be able to get away. 15" gain would be great for anyone in top 10

It's not flat at all.
Okay, it's (false) flat with the exception of one short little downhill and one ramp that's a little bit steeper than false flat :rolleyes: or call it "rolling". Doesn't matter, the point stands - no lone GC contender is going to hold off a group led by the Sky train - well except Froome.
