    Ponteareas - Pontevedra

    A rare sprinting opportunity

    The grand tour organisers have been pretty miserly in their offerings to sprinters and rouleurs this year, effectively pressuring them to take advantage of stages like this. It features two cat 3 climbs that will give hope to breakaway riders but these are so far from the finish that the sprinters’ teams are sure to launch a determined chase of any escapees. The route heads into Pontevedra with 60km remaining, then out again. There are a couple of small lumps in the final 20km but nothing severe enough that it should derail the sprinters from their stage-winning objective.

    Are there any sprinters high enough in the GC that wiggins might lose the red for a day?

    Bauke Mollema took the Intermediate Sprint earlier, a few easy bonus seconds gained on the other GC riders.

    nice win for sagan with no help from his team (did anyone notice his team mate coming over the line looking like he was looking at his ipod!)
