The last stage of this long first sequence gathers et concentrates all the hills, climbs and other difficulties the previous days were lacking. There won't be a bit of flat, it goes up and down and up and down and up and...
Many climbers as well as many hard-classics specialists (ร la Healy) will probably attempt to break away. Will Visma and UAE insist on looking for a stage win on this first mountain(-ish) stage?
Lots of KoM points on offer. After two quiet days we might see who is serious about that jersey today.
Yep, it's an orgy of points compared to what was distributed so far.
- 5-3-2-1 for 2 each of the 7 2^nd^ category climbs!
- 2-1 for the 3^rd^ category
That's 5x7+2=37 points max. There were so few categorised climbs so far that it was impossible to score that many points along the first 9 stages even if one rider had won all GPMs, and the 'leader' of the ranking only has 8 points...
However, it may highly depends on the individual luck to get or not into the right breakaway.
