Narvaez needlessly took a bonus second away from Bernal and he still won the Giro. It's called marginal losses.

None of the preceding climbs is remotely punchy.
Here's a picture from the last time the Tour started in Brest:

Sprinters ain't gonna survive anyway, unless Ewan can find his Poggio shape.Not when viewed in isolation.
But, they're not ridden in isolation.
The parcours is more than punchy enough - 2800 vertical meters - to sap the legs of the sprinters when the race is made hard in the final 90 minutes. Which is exactly what Alpecin-Fenix will do.

Gesbert?
Yeah the specifics of the climb really favor the sprinters rather than the puncheurs

I was talking much more about specifics within the group of riders who are gonna make it over there.
I guess I will have to add "Recognition of people who I normally only see images of wearing a helmet and sunglasses from photographs of them as adolescents" as a skill I need to develop.
And ear recognition.
A rather puffy cheeked young man for someone who turned out to be a 53kg climber. The other guy is Madouas, I assume.

The girl is a guy who is Madouas?
There are definitely riders I have an easier time recognising than others - and that's including new pictures. Often I notice some kind of trait that makes it easier for me, with Gaudu it's the way his upper lip seems to curl up, giving him the appearance of a grimacey-smile.
I think he's referring to the photo you posted, silly.
I haven't posted any photos (and hadn't seen Samu's).
I back you up too, but that will be the "being Sagan fan" taklking from me, same as for Horner. Also Horner didn't mention him to be number one favourite, it was more that he will be in the mix. And also, it was more of a wishful thinking, e.g. with the guess of taking the end of the giro just as preparation for the tour, since the cyclamino has been sealed.

Pondering over the length... can't be by chance.
It's just your stance...You're absolutely right! It has something to do with the distance.
That CA kit is amazingAnd he's got his good friend, shown here trying to locate his father in the crowd, with him to help him achieve success.
