Another climb of Mount Cassel, but again 30 km from the finish line. Therefore it should end up with a bunch sprint, among a bunch perhaps reduced by echelons.

Seems like a decent early night stage, although the sprints could be interesting after the "drama" yesterday.
Yeah, that was fun - getting so worked up over an intermediate sprint. Didn't even seem like anyone did anything dangerous, yet two different arguments came from it.
Anyway, I also expect this to be a prette straight forward sprint finish.
It happened several 100 metres before, in the sprint preparation, when they were trying to get positions: Girmay went to 'hit' Milan because the latter was sitting in the former's train. But the bleeding TV director stayed for an hour on the breakaway instead of showing the bunch's sprint preparation and launching, so no viewer could see it on the main stream.
I don't know about Coquard vs Penhoët. But arguments rarely come up for no reason, and when the recipient of a barney/insults doesn't answer and keeps a low profile, it generally means that he knows he was guilty of something.
