This 18th stage of the Tour de France It is developed within what can be expected here. It was a day I thought it would be, especially at this point in the race, when the energy is so tight, with the heat and the last three, very difficult and decisive days left.
Hopefully a good breakaway will develop, maybe not too big, and the favorites and their teams will put their feet up.
Highlight three corridors of Movistar team on the run, with Lazkano and Aranburuand with Raúl García Leg of Arkéa. It’s a shame that none of them won.
Pay attention to what’s to come on the Tour, especially this Friday’s stage, the penultimate. A very hard, short and very hard day. If anything unusual can happen in the race, among the favorites, it should be this Friday. This is, for me, the main stage. It has two special category ports and high end, in another port of the first category, and has only 140 kilometers.
This is one of the dangerous stages. There will be a battle at the exit, which goes up the first pass. And the most normal thing is for sprinters who stay in the race, after talking to their director, to go home because there is no point in them continuing in the race.
This year the Tour does not end with Parisand in the usual sprint, but in Nice and there is a time trial, where the sprinters have no say.
Highlight, of course, the big victory for Belgian Victor Campenaertsthe best of the getaway, and I can only tell you not to miss any details of tomorrow’s stage: anything can happen.
