Careful Meintjes is lurking................I only learned yesterday that Naesan is in this race, so I'm picking him for the win. He's been saving his legs for today, surely.

Pretty much. It's still breakaway day but at least it's less lazy than 2 average Cat1s and 20km of flat to the finish line.It's not the greatest stage design but I'm fine with it. The ASO usually doesn't bother using the options for medium mountain stages in the Pyrenees since they just go straight to the high mountains and I like that they are mixing things up. The stage where I complain about the lack of harder climbs is tomorrow not today.
In all honesty, everyone and their grandmother is a chance to win this stage.
Valverde's grandmother FTW!
She wouldn't stand a chance against Babushka Padun.
I was just thinking that Valverde's grandmother (either of them) would probably be quite old by now.
