Yeah, exactly. The last part from the top of Platzerwasel to Le Markstein is really easy. Less than 10 kms of flat or gentle climb. The riders would be forced to attack from further out.Markstein itself is a very lame climb. It's a bit steeper to start but even a decent amateur rides 20+ kph up there in the second half. If there is a selection to be made on such a stage it definitely has to happen early on petit ballon / platzerwasel.
Climbers, puncheurs, time trialists... it's all Pogacar to me.The Longwy and Lausanne finishes actually aren't bad.
Depend from where they start it but I remember doing it as a kid with a old rusted VTT, was not impressed by the steepness, the road is also quite large and turns are almost flat.Markstein itself is a very lame climb.

Roglič wins this Tour easily. You've heard it first here.Climbers, puncheurs, time trialists... it's all Pogacar to me.
Do you have grandparents that you want to give a shout out to?The good thing is that in both the men's and the women's race many stages are really close to Germany.![]()
It's the gravel ramp. Because the route wasn't bad enough otherwise.Is PDBF the gravel ramp version or is that just the ladies?
They announced it as "Super Planche" so if the terminology is consistent it's the gravel ramp.Is PDBF the gravel ramp version or is that just the ladies?
True. It's safe and predictable, typical ASO - No risk taking for them. Do the same things, get the same results/ winners.......The Tour is like some easy to watch TV show. Great audiences, predictable plot and more of the same in each season.
Even the stage hosts I get the feeling are becoming more and more repeated in short intervals of time. Rodez, Longwy, Carcassone, Mende, I have the impression it's always the same places.
