Yep, Petacchi and Ulissi are now probably rather mad at themselves and their teams for not being able to defend as well as Sky did.

I got a feeling that a sprinter like Kittel will win this flat stage

Well yeah, it'd be a sensational surprise if it does not end in a mass sprint

 

I wonder if Kittel has finally found something good instead of the awfully disappointing excuses for a sprint he has been showing so far since moving from Pat Lefevere's rocket fueled Quick-Step to Katusha. Personally I'm going for either Gaviria or, who knows, Groenewegen.

Of course there is one "climb" in this stage.

 

It will be a big battle between randos for one day of polka dot.

In Dutch we have sort of a saying about football: "Football is the most important sideshow/side issue in life."

 

Belgian commentator when the Tour de France broadcast started half an hour ago: "If football is the most important sideshow in life, it's now time for the main event of life. Cycling."
