THE TACTICAL READ
WHO IT SUITS
The pure sprinters — realistically their last clean chance before the Jura and Vosges take over the race.
WHAT TO WATCH
Desperation in the lead-outs, knowing the chances are running out, and any crosswind that could split the bunch late.
ROADMAN PREDICTION
A bunch sprint with everything on it for the fast men. Expect the strongest lead-out train of the race to deliver its sprinter and close the door on the flatland chapter.
