No chance for echelons today? What's the wind direction?

Seems like the chances are none. Looks like a calm day.

Last few kms in Vittel as with most towns / cities a couple of interesting pinch points.

Vittel looks a beautiful place.

35km to go - 1.9 kilometre-long climb at 7.4%

FDJ, Bora, Sunweb could be interested. Slim chance - but it's not impossible to drop Kittel & Cav.

I don't think it's enough to drop Kittel in that way he wouldn't be able get back. It could serve to tire Kittel at most, if he needed to chase.

Btw, if the BOTD is already caught, sagan could go for the 4cat point to earn RP jersey, it's the only he's haven't already earned in TDF :)

That would be awesome. I want to see Sagan in that Jersey. I am very curious how much afford he would give to defend it in stage 5.

I reckon 1.9 km @ 7.4% is a mistake from ASO. That would likely be a Cat 3 and this is a Cat 4. Looks more like 1.9 km @ 5.4% to me on google earth and a very steady drag unfortunately
