The alternation continues: this stage shall be a puncher stage.

The final section looks insane. Twisting all over the place with several extremely steep climbs (and presumably descents). Should be an exciting finale!
Looks to me like another day for the GC guys masked as a puncheur-stage. So I expect this result:
I hope to see Skjelmose in top 10 - and I expect we'll also see Jorgenson, Vauquelin, Evenepoel, and Gregoire in the mix.
Only missed Onley and Almeida for the top 10 ๐
The time trial is tomorrow. so I'm not 100% sure if any of the major players will be risking a move today. But I agree that the course seems perfect for someone to try an attack, particularly with how hard the final climb is and how close it is to the finish. It looks harder than Stage 2, and Pogacar and Vingegaard were both very close to winning there.
I can see Visma try something tactical with Jorgenson. Strong enough to win and also not someone UAE wants to gift time in the GC.
There is a tiny bit less elevation gain than on Monday, but it is more compact, and as you say, there are many turns.
