oh maan...loving the look of stage sixteen. transitional trap stage. breakaways galore. so much descending on the last third of the stage
and we're all well-acquainted with tpiddy's il falco homage this tour. thinking both he and danimal martinez get a chance to set up gthom and yatesie
at some point. top of the last climb is 28.5 km's from the finish and that's an eternity. road is sufficiently wiggly so anything could happen on that last descent.
who's a guy that's a solid climber, is at least five mins back on gc, not protecting another rider and has a heckuva itt engine to power down flattish final descent spots...?
mollema, powless, bojangles, caruso and cattaneo. for some reason...mohoric (not a perfect match but been very very quiet) popped into the ole empty noodle tho
so matej is the (un)lucky horrible prediction for stage sixteen. the stage is likely to short for him tho-he likes the looong stuff.
