Gap - Barcelonette 179.5 km
This is going to be a seriously brutal fight to get in the breakaway. Otoh the GC teams likely won’t spoil it today trying to insert themselves in the game and we’re getting to the point where the ones who actually have the legs are getting down to a more select few.
Estimated finish time: 17:30-17:55 CEST
Little Messi of the Day: Oier Lazkano
It’s a hard one because many you would have on the A-list spent a lot of energy yesterday. Now they could well have the legs to go again today but let’s go with someone who didn’t end up fighting in vain all the way.
