Interested to see how the sprinters’ teams approach the finish today.

Will they lead out to the bottom of the climb or try and keep it together for the last km after the ramp?

Or will be a powerhouse pursuit type rider i.e. Ganna who can get on top of a big gear after the climb who rides away and wins?

26 whole metres of climbing with a max of 12%? Depending on how the steep bits realate to corners, I can't see that bothering most top level sprinters

The climb is right after a sharp corner, if you don't manage to carry your speed through it it might be a serious hurdle.

I’m not suggesting anybody will get dropped, just that it’ll kill the momentum you normally associate with a lead out.
