It's hard to see a situation where Swift is the best sprinter left though, i.e. the likes of Sagan are as good on the climbs and a slightly faster finisher.
The course this year is as easy, in relative terms, as it has been for some time so it would take something a bit special to get to the finish without the likes of Kristoff, Sagan and even Cavendish.
But that's what makes it such a compelling race, the battle between the puncheurs and the sprinters.
