Tomorrow should be a good stage for MVDP he will need to watch Fuglsang closely

Oh damn I really forgot about Sagan. I get that he has not raced in Giro but still would have favored Ackermann to start Giro with so good form.

the Bora way... you get a sprinter who is in the reckoning for fastest guy of the year and then you send him only to the Vuelta. They are making a tradition of it. Ackermann will get a chance to experience the joy of Vuelta “flat” stages.

I had the impression that it was due to this new calender that Ackermann's schedule had changed. And without the Budapest start, there are only 4 easy sprint stages and 1 single other chance (stage 4, which could go to the break). With the Vuelta, he's able to ride BinckBank Tour (and some classics).

That climb was so steep the GC riders basically rode their own pace and rode away from everyone

I would love to see MVDP snatch a win today. Stage looks to be in his territory.

Break shoudl probably lose more than a minute on the climb, it's harder and longer than the Mur de Huy.

Really really good showing from Thomas

Excellent climb from Woods obviously

no surprises to see the Astanaduo right on it
