Check out this preview of the last few kilometers. Possibly one of the most beautiful finishes I've seen. As they ride through the impossibly narrow streets and emerge from under an arch to climb up the ramps inside the hill-top basilica.

Definitely a day for Francis de Greef. Small birds will alight on his shoulders at the finish and woodland creatures will gambol at his feet. Headline writers will rejoice.
