Starts tonight. Porte reckons he's never been in better shape, OGE have become OBE and now have a massive jersey clash with Movistar, their squad is also looking like it wont deliver much. Cannondale have signed a 5 year co-sponsor deal with Drapac with maybe a few riders from Drapac moving across for 2017, apparently Canty is one of them. Sky's squad is ridiculous, could probably go 1-2 if they really wanted to, Movistar also look strong. I dont see Nibali working for Aru and the internal dynamics of this squad look like a headache. Sagan's sprint form has been very good this year, keen to see if he can go with Kittel and Griepel. Anyways,
Stage 1
Sprinters only, weather forecast is for 40-50km/h winds so it may not be a formality. If Etixx were willing to put Tony Martin in the break in these conditions he could win it but they will save him for Kittel. Short odds on it being a bunch finish, Sagan may craft a win if the bigger sprinters ego's get in the way, he had a good sprint win into a head wind at Tour of California by timing it perfectly.
Also anybody is free to do previews because mine is pretty crap.
