Volta a Moustachya.

Unfortunately Remco can’t grow one in 2 days.

If someone could persuade Veistroffer to continue wearing the climber's jersey, Magnus could wear the points jersey tomorrow. - unless Godon preempts him, then Magnus could show off the leader's jersey.

there's a fixed order of the leader jerseys, so unfortunately this won't be the case.

In this race, they are pretty much impossible to distinguish anyway, though.

it looks quite windy as well. Mainly tailwind in the 2nd half (which should be good for the break), but some cross/tail parts as well, mainly in the final 30k.

Stage 3, a well designed mid mountain parcours:

Since there are essentially no sprinters to get rid of or ride for, this could be a big break opportunity.
Almeida launched a 40km solo attack in last year's Tour de Suisse, in a stage similar to this one.
Doubt he'll do the same today tho.
This is looks perfect for the breakaway.

last time they (more or less) did this stage, it certainly delivered. But back then the weather wasn't quite like today, and it came much later in the race.

No TV broadcast yet..now how nice is that, what's the point, when all the fun is in the making of escape group at the beginning of a stage, no? :mad:

The Magician isn't a strong enough climber to ride for GC here, but I don't really see why he shouldn't do today's stage before leaving the race. He hasn't exactly looked tired the first two days.

Brisk crosswinds today, it could become more exiting than the profile suggests, especially when they reach the flat part at the end.
