Tour of Poland stage 2

Another long day awaits the peloton tomorrow with a 234km stage with a profile as follows;

                                                                                                                                                

Doesn't look like it is going to be windy enough to create any interest although what wind there is looks like a headwind for the whole route, so sounds like a sprint then.

Today's weather and crash chaos means pretty much all the sprinters of note aside from Hutarovich were not really involved or at least were not in position to be involved so form is still a bit of guesswork.

The finish is detailed below and we seem to have a corner very close to the finish indeed. On streetview the road where the finish line is has a fair few bollards and street furniture so I don't know if they are being removed or if we have a one lane finish. Either way it sounds a bit messy and to win the sprinter needs to be in the first five or six positions in this corner, so I will look towards who has the right train and is good at positioning.


I honestly fancy Tyler Farrar to go well today, Garmin were always around the front in stage 1 and they have a good team lined up to back Farrar.
