Classic Battle between the fatigued but in-form TDF riders and the other fresh but out of form riders. Usually won by the tour riders. Unfortunately it will likely be raced only in the final 15ks but perhaps stronger flat riders like Gilbert, Van Avermaet, Dumoulin or Roglic may be interested in lighting it up before hand, otherwise a solo or small group of climbers escaping on the final climb to decide the race.
Favourites:
***Mikel Landa, Michal Kwiatkowski, Warren Barguil, Rigoberto Uran, Tom Dumoulin
**Greg van Avermaet, Phillipe Gilbert, Simon Yates, Bauke Mollema, Tony Gallopin, Dani Moreno, Mikel Nieve
*Tim Wellens, Thibaut Pinot, Louis Meinjies, Enrico Gasparotto, Primoz Roglic, Miguel Angel Lopez, Alexis Vuillermois, Leopold Konig, Tiesj Benoot, Sergio Luis Henao, Michael Albasini, Simon Gerrans, George Bennet, Diego Ullisi, Janez Brajkovich, Haimer Zubeldia
Zubeldia's last race so one last final invisible top 10.
Also, my favourites list is hopelessly inaccurate but it should give an idea of who's in the race and it can be very difficult to know who's in form here.

My pick to win is Uran hanging on for the climb before winning the sprint the same way he won a TDF stage, Juul-Jensen and Zubeldia to top 10.
Sky literally bringing their TDF squad minus Froome is ominous.

He's in the #1 jersey as Trek's "leader", so seems like they are giving him the chance to race for himself here.  Although he's anything but invisible at the moment, Swedish commenters won't stop talking about him and the cameras are finding him out.
Go Zubeldia!

So has Etixx got anybody aside from Serry and Mas in this group, I don't understand the commentators but it sounds like they're working hard despite the group containing Henso, Vanendert, De Marchi and Moscon.

Nothing in life is as reliable as picture breakups in Spanish races.

Kwiatek is having such an amazing season. I can only repeat and repeat: what a rider.

Are you on crack? Sky has by far the most money in the world tour. |
