Yay, once more they managed to find an utterly idiotic finish line for a sprint stage  (follow the red line from bottom to top where the finish is)

 

 

A long straight with a peloton in full pre-sprint force which then has to somehow find it's way through a tight and hard turn followed by another one....yeah, someone really wanted to see crashes and injuries.

 

Well, toughen up and learn how to ride a bike.

Won't help you much when 100+ riders are trying to force themselves through one curve in full sprint mode  One can ride a bike better than anyone, if someone else makes a tiny mistake you're still fucked and in a finish like this that chance is significantly higher (especially with the expected wind)

 

We'll see, I know I'm gonna try to be at home in time

3k to go until the sprint

And Viviani wins, beating favourite Ackermann.

And Viviani probably doesn't win after a DQ

Ackermann is certainly not a bigger favourite than Viviani for sprints.

Anyway Gaviria won.
