The descent from Innerwald doesn't look technical, but the road is quite narrow and the fences/barriers and trees are quite close. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the folks check out the forest as well.

Funny seeing them ride "my" usual training routes - down from the Brenner, Römerstrasse, Gnadenwald, Volders. ... :D

Weather is ok, here in Innsbruck it's sunny, but cool and pretty windy (tailwind from Brenner to Innsbruck).

edit: now pretty strong headwind....welcome to the Wipptal ;)

How's the descent to the finish, tricky?

Not any tricker than the very last bit down from Tulfes (the descent before Volders).
As Gamper is a local, he should have an advantage. Also he's probably as fast as a bigger group, as the roads are narrow.
The deciding part, however, is the last stretcht to Stans...might be difficult for a lone rider

Well, yes, but I meant what is his background. It would appear he is a triathlete/trail runner. Man has very good results in the highly competitive French amateur scene, ngl.

Today's stage:

Here's an interactive profile of the finish:


It has snowed during the night, though, and low temperatures and rain are forecast for today as well. So no idea if this can take place as planned.
That would be a pity, this would have been a great stage

Funny looking at the weather forecast for Schwaz as it's the same weather prognosis every day for the next week, but the descriptions are deceptively different - Chilly with periods of rain, or cloudy, a little rain; chilly, or Cold with periods of rain, or Cold with a little rain etc etc. Chapeau to the poor person who had to think those up!
