What Henk Vogels says...
The general classification race may be over but for WorldTour teams and every other team that starts this race (Drapac included) will want to win a stage. There will be a lot of tired boys in the peloton by this point and with the hot weather racing, that’s only intensified. It’s not an easy circuit and it will hurt at 85km.
