Serious business.

Last day before the really high mountains. Last chance the sprint teams will have for a while, but they'll have to put in a real shift to even get a chance tomorrow.

Four categorised climbs, but unlike the last few they are genuine obstacles for the riders. Not very long, but they will cause real trouble for the sprint teams. With the number of hard climbs, I think it will boil down to who is the best sprinter that can stay in touch with the peloton for the whole stage. That said, breakaway riders will have a better chance than usual. Maybe Jensie will have his eye on this one.

Here's your chance Sagan, take it or leave it. Cannondale should put in some work on the front to make sure Kittel and Greipel aren't involved.
