There's no let up as this is another leg-breaker. It climbs immediately, rolls for a while, then packs in four late climbs, two of which are cat 2 and the last lump peaking with 5km to go. The sprinters won't be interested, nor the GC men, so look for a fast-finishing Classics-type rider to take the win from the remains of the day's breakaway.
