For once let this meme come true.

Aru to win
Nibali could try something in the descent, but would he really risk throwing away his second place with an all or nothing attack?

Cobo had 34x28 in his recon video. I guess that active pros can do it with 36t small chain ring and 28t or 29t sprocket.sir fly said:Wonder what gears they've put on their frames for this wall.
The Barb said:Really looking forward to this, even though I doubt much will happen on the GC ... Seems like an obvious stage for a second tier climber (i.e. not someone in podium contention) to get in a break or attack on the penultimate climb.
Majka must be targeting this. Adam Yates likewise. I could even see Chaves bouncing back on a final climb that suits him much better.
Amazed the Lopez is so dominant a betting favourite. A steep and irregular climb is not ideal for him at all.
