Im struggling today with the down hill to the finish its the perfect chance for a break... but its also the perfect chance toget it all together and whatever fast men make it over hte hills with the bunch to give it a go...
I know.... The beginning of the stage is really nice for a breakaway... But that long downhill to the finish means they'd all come back together.... I don't think the fast sprinters (McEwen, etc. ) will make it back into the peleton in time for a fast sprint finish. (Although it's a nice flat finish, if they can get there in time! ).... I think the winner will be someone good in a sprint, though. (Not a pure sprinter, but someone who can survive the hills with the peleton, and then has a fast finishing kick. )
Very tough to pick for this stage! |
