Stage 5 will be interesting. A succession of stiff climbs, 3 X 5-6 km at 8-11% will be selective, with screaming descents between them. I don't see Sagan, Kristhoff, or other climby sprinters/fast puncheurs making it. I think it'll be the GC types and the Ardennes types. Alaphillipe, Martin, Nibali, Costa, some of the climby domestiques, etc. If Sky and Movi work, they can probably put Contador to the sword, or make him crash again. I'd love to see EBH get a stage here but not sure he can keep bossing it for repeated fast hard climbs.
