Stage 5: Bastogne – Amnéville 150 km
Fairly flat looking on paper but said to be anything but in reality. Not climbs but just challenging rolling terrain all along. Might be a decent chance for a breakaway.
Estimated finish time: 15:45-16:15 CEST
First winner in France: Marianne Vos
I kinda wonder if anyone gets to ride off with this so I’m going with a safe bet on a finale with a bit of a kicker. But there are riders like Georgi, Norsgaard, Persico and Edwards who are far enough back now that they could take a stage like this from a break. Not to mention engines like Brown and Dygert.
