Cycling: After numerous mountain stages, the classification and mountain riders can catch a breath tomorrow. While there won't be a bunch sprint in Saint-Etienne, attacks on the yellow jersey are not expected.
Velomotion prognosis: Another outlier celebrates
From Bourg d'Oisans to Saint-Etienne tomorrow we have to cover 192,6 kilometers. However, three mountain classifications – the Côte de Brié, the Col de Parmenie and the Côte de Saint-Romain-en-Galm – are not steep enough for the class riders and are too far from the finish anyway. However, the profile is a bit too wavy for the sprinters, so we can assume that there will be a victory for a breakaway in Saint-Etienne. We firmly believe that the BikeExchange – Jayco team has marked this day in red on their calendars. For Michael Matthews this profile is perfect. However, the Australian should take at least one teammate with him into the breakaway group, who will ultimately ensure that no soloist can jump away.
☆☆☆ Michael Matthews (BikeExchange – Jayco)
☆ ☆ Alberto Bettiol (EF Education – EasyPost), Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Victorious)
☆ Nils Politt (Bora – hansgrohe), Jasper stuyven (Trek - Segafredo), Michael Woods (Israel – Premier Tech)
