    The sprints have been kind of predictable so far. Hopefully someone other than Sagan can win today but the finish looks like it was made with him in mind.

    Any idea of the elevation gain for today? It looks like a stage which has a surprisingly high amount

    Felt the same when I was reviewing the programme. Could be one for Dan but have a feeling he has some unfinished business with Mur De Bretagne tomorrow

    Sagan or de gendt for today.
    Think de gendt has designs in the mountains jersey, so can make a start on it

    Probably old news -Benoot has abandoned after yesterdays crash

    Michael Matthews Sunweb is sick and doubtful starter

    EDIT: Matthews also gone now

    He's going to struggle to sleep for a few weeks...
    According to a statement by Lotto-Soudal, Benoot suffered “a second degree dislocation of the AC joint in his right shoulder, a bruise of the ribs, the right shoulder blade and left wrist, he has abrasions on his hips, back, arms and legs and cuts at his right eyebrow and the back of his head.”

    One thing that bugs me about TV coverage is that the 'clock' always shows Kms to go, however the maps/profiles show climbs/sprints etc. by distance elapsed so I'm trying to do arithmetic. Elapsed distance in brackets please!

    It's one thing I've heard Kirby grumble about too actually.

    you'd have to think Sam is a bit miffed not to have been picked seeing how well Gaviria is doing, having beaten him a few times in the Giro.

    When does his contract run out with Bora, unlikely to get to ride in Tour while Sagan is around?

    did Gaviria not beat Sam in all of the sprints last year? are you thinking of Viviani from this year?

    If anyone is miffed at not been chosen to ride ahead of Sagan then they need a reality check.

    Indeed !

    I've discovered since that on the official site

    https://racecenter.letour.fr/#/stageprofile

    If you click on the climbs sprints it will tell how far from the finish.

    Love to see Sagan's power readings on that climb. Dan looked comfortable and tomorrow should see him challenge Valverdi and Alaphilippe for the win. Gilbert looks to be in great shape too.
