It looks like another stage for punchers, but will they be stars of the punch again, or could some breakaway men with some punch (like Healy in his in-shape version) compete? Or might a few sprinters (like Groves) make it through the last climbs?
It seems that except for the last metres, it was Visma who accelerated in the last 2 climbs. And we couldn't understand what happened because the TV director decided never to show a few seconds of it in 10 or 20 km... (Same problem we had with the TV directors of spring classics who preferred to stay 80% on a solo guy and 19% on a chasing duo whose positions have been fixed for good for 1 hour, and not show at all what could happen behind, where things could still happen.)
