Today’s stage, between Escaldes and Lleida, is totally different fromyesterday's. There’s only one official climb with top already after less than 55km of racing. After a long descent there is another hill, which isn’t categorized, but the finale is flat. Will the sprinters grab this chance?
“I think Giant – Alpecin and John Degenkolb will definitely want to have a sprint today, so it’s likely it will be a sprint, but there is also a slight chance escapees will make it to the finish and can battle for the victory," Lotto Soudal sports director Mario Aerts said. "If a group of about eight riders gets away from the peloton we need to have a guy in front as well. Thomas De Gendt already tried a few times but there are still a lot of opportunities for breakaways. If it’s a sprint we can rely on Tosh Van der Sande. On Monday he finished fourth and that gave him confidence.”
