Stage 7.
What a great finish to Stage 6 with Dan Martin holding off the late finish of Pierre Latour, just like I predicted (Well almost lol ). Stage 7 and its almost certainly back to the sprinters, the GC riders, Climbers and Puncheurs will gladly accept a quiet day off, but the chances of a breakaway sticking is slim. The Sprinters Teams will be keen to haul back any breakaways as we head towards the mountains.
The last 5km are relatively flat, but the last 300 metres is slightly uphill which could blow anyone who starts their sprint too early.
Gaviria, Sagan, Griepel, Colbrelli, Groenewegen, Cavendish, Kittel, Kristoff, Demare. For me Sagan is stand out rider but he's had a couple of really tough days and the lactic build up may be too much, Andre Griepel who looked to be finishing fast in Stage 4 would be my selection.
Result.
1. Groenewegen.
2. Gaviria.
3. Sagan.
