At least I can see Huff and Friedman in the sprint. And Burke Swindlehurst 32nd and of course Saul in the KoM jersey.

I chose to only name riders with 77mo+ in that bit, the only 76 guys I mentioned were Marco Polo cause they are an asian team.
I could be here all day listing all the decent climbers from each team.
You missed Garate, he'll win now because he's insulted at typical British ignorance
YES, a perfect looking win, i didnt think the AI would be compotent enough to have a good lead-out, but that was a great sprint.

Next stage is twice as long as the first. Maybe that could make it harder for some...

great sprint from manan, but i have to do this sorry
7 Pedro Pablo Pérez Márquez NIPPO CORPORATION s.t.
8 Peter Wrolich TINKOFF CREDIT SYSTEMS s.t.
9 Igor Abakoumov NIPPO CORPORATION s.t.
10 Crescenzo D'Amore DESIGNA KØKKEN s.t.
Wrolich, Igor, and pre-sprint favourite D'Amore must be embarrased
but it shows Marquez is in great form, one to watch in the slopes now

You only just beat Wrolich on the line despite the fact he wasnt sprinting at all for the last 1.3km
But yes, I think a Cuban will almost certainly win Stage 3, unless he gets dropped.

It really important to get the right placing in the sprint or else you will end up way back. As with D'Amore.

The mountains on this stage isn't so steep, or am I wrong?

Technically its not a mountain. Its a highland
Actually, if i remember the stage correctly, its a Cat 2 first, then a small downhill and then a Cat 3.
