I really like this stage--great landscape, very picturesque roads that look a bit like those in the Ardennes (and I suspect may cause some difficulties for standard TdF riding style, being narrow and curvy?), and it seems to be another example of this trend of including in Grand Tours 'mini-versions' of other iconic races, like the Strade Bianche stage in last year's Giro.
