The climb of Marine Drive is close to the finish with a 5km fast technical descent on tight roads, the profile looks pretty spiky but the scale is all important, the highest altitude is 200m so it is likely we get a sprint finish.
It might be a good idea for teams to try and attack Wiggo and take a few seconds as sometimes our Knight of the realm doesn't always descend too well.
I think the profile does lend itself to a cheeky attack from an elite descender like Kwiatkowski or Chavanel but they are too short a price and I'm dubious about Kittel/Cav making it to this finish.
I'm going to have a small bet on some outsider sprinters here as this could be very chaotic and it will be difficult for teams to maintain position in the downhill to the line.
Colbrelli 66/1 0.3pts EW PP - Colbrelli is targeting this stage and has a fair turn of speed on him.
Bennett 18/1 1pt WIN WH - Bennett got caught on the wrong side of the road in today's sprint but NetApp bossed it in the run in and tomorrow is a big chance of a stage win.
