If it's a mass sprint, Voss will definately not win. Vermeltfoort is faster.
Vermeltfoort is faster than anyone but can he follow all the way to the last kilometer? Personally, I doubt it, as well as I doubt Degenkolb will still be at the front in the final 
EDIT: Wee, Castroviejo is in the group just behind Gautier and Swift B)

Swift and Gautier dropped. Now just 5 up front, including PCM fan-favorite Fabio Duarte.
This race is nowhere near hard enough for a climber or most hilly riders to win. It's gonna be between sprinters and flat specialists.

What's the difference to the pack? There's no graphic informing people. |

I think Caruso should try to get away because it seems that he is at some steep short climbs very strong , but lacks of sprinting
Degenkolb should be the favourite for a sprint because Degenkolb won some sprints in youth classes (U23 also) also against Voss and Vermeltfoort , but also Swift could win it (at Sachsen Tour 2nd in a sprint behind Greipel) |

My bet would be Caruso going home solo.
With Degenkolb being this good on the route, this is definitely a Cancellara-course. Sad he isn't participating.
Never.
