A perfectly balanced route for the climby sprinters to put the non-climby sprinters under pressure, with 3 short climbs stuff together in the middle of the stage with the last cresting with 39km to go. Would Bora-Hansgrohe light it up for Sagan? Would Merlier and co be able to hang on? A fantastic sprint stage eventuated as well some intermediate sprint action between Bernal and Evenepoel
