Sunday.

On Saturday the cat. 1 climb before the last 10k of false flat would be a cat. 2 in Giro, it's 11k at 6.4 average. Don't think anything can happen.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Stages like that are always pretty fun early in the race, should be a decent stage at least. Well, we will at least watch real racing compared to the next few days

Navardaskus (sp?) for the win from a breakaway of seven or eight riders.
That guy is long overdue for a big win. Plus, quick step have bigger fish to fry; katusha no like kristoff; and dimension data no longer have a reason to exist. They might as well join the touring groups that follow Le Tour and give sightseeing tips to foreigners. I'd love to see Bouhannni (sp?) get a win, but he seems cursed.

In France, the hardest climb are not Cat. 1 but Cat. HC ........
Are you a real cycling fan?

Marcel Kittel will break this stage. If they die, they die.

Navardauskas isn't in the race

Oops, sorry. Now I know why the guy was laughing when I threw down 50 bux on Navardauskas. I wonder if I can get my money back.

Yeah but some cat 1s could feasibly be cat 1s in the Giro (Joux Plane). This is barely a cat 1. I've seen comparable climbs as Cat 3 or unclassified in the Giro.

 

[swissfr]

11,7 km with an overage gradient of 6,4 percent unclassified in the giro?

Fake News

 

[pitchnduel]

I'll take a flyer on Bouhanni

 

[Jungle Cycle]

it's hard to find a reason to watch before the first 200km...
Kittel ftw
high hopes for the weekend so please gcs, stay all on top of your bikes..

 

[SHAD0W93]

Bouhanni to win and do what Demare did on stage 4 to Bouhanni to Demare. Then Bouhanni to get relegated and Demare to win.

 

[Tonton]

Demare to win fair and square, many posters bite their laptop in anger while Nacer punches his handlebars and whines that a pigeon dumped in his eye in the final kilometer (many pigeons in Troyes, believe me)

I think it's possible Demare could win again. Maybe Bouhanni figures more now with Sagan and Cav gone.

 

[silvergrenade]

Dont realy care who wins..
Just no crashes please!
Crashes such the life out a bike race man..

Re:

Greipel.

This.
Greipel.
Kittel is more likely to prevail in the situation of an outright head-to-head match-up, but Greipel is more likely to be well-positioned for a winning sprint in the first place.

 

[BigMac]

If I were Sagan I'd be at every single stage finish stealing the spotlight. Shades on.

That'd be the greatest troll of the century.

 

[SKSemtex]

Kittel please.

 

[ClassicomanoLuigi]

The lead-in to the finish in the arrival city looks not too bad. There is a hard-left 90-degree turn at about 2 kilometers out. And then curiously, a round-about circile, to pass through at about 200 meters from the finish line. Seems tactically very important to get around that semicircle before anyone else

 

[Robert5091]

Good day to mow the lawn?

 

[Stilletto]

Juraj Sagan FTW !!

He should join the Bora publicity caravan parade and do the wheelies. Publicity worth few millions

With this round-about circle, this would be another Sagan podium stage.
