I know we just finished stage 3, but I don't care much about another sprint on stage 4 (Kittel wins, Sagan gets most points, blah blah blah).
BUT stage 5 is going to be fun to watch.
Any predictions on who's going to take it?
I'm hoping for a strong Spartacus performance - he knows he's getting a little too long in the tooth to take the ITT but he still has plenty of life left in his legs and this could be a golden opportunity to snag a stage.
I also think Mike Kwiatkowski will try to make a break here. He knows he's not quite as good as the top GC contenders in the big mountains, and with only 1 TT stage he needs to do something special - and a 'classic' pave section is right up his alley. If he rides smart and attacks at the right moment he could put a few minutes on the skinny little Contadors, Niballis and Froomes.
Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's
