We are here for the first 3 km, then it is just race and hope as few sprinters as possible get bonus seconds 
Thanks for the preview!

Thanks for the preview, Laurens (and especially for putting Rajovic high enough to at least give me a glimpse of hope)!
With not even an opportunity for some random KoM points it's all about avoiding a zero-pointer here. Some breakaway appearances would be nice ...

Debated sending Peak here and thought the field would be quite strong, so opted for Denmark instead. That turned out to be a bit of a disaster, so hopefully Zariff can pick up a few solid results to help make up for it, in a weaker field than I expected.
Curious to see how the prologue plays out, thought it might suit Pithie and Evangelos but expect it will be quite random. |

Very important race and one Dainese has done well in, in the past. Stage 1 will be about limiting losses, then hope we can make a mark one the sprint stages.
Thanks for the preview!
