Aubisque on S14 and that penultimate stage could neutralise some of the others. Plenty of uphill finishes though!
I wonder if the relatively shorter stage length will give more hope to breakaways.
Team selection could be intersting too, given the lack of sprint finishes and the difficulty faced by the sprinters in getting anywhere near the green jersey for the overall points tally.0 -

With it being a sprinters WC and a climbers Olympics, I imagine there will be a lot of sprinters going for form anyway. It will also be a b team GC fest again after the tour and olympics.0 -
Maybe, but the WC is over a month after the end of the Vuelta this year because of the expected temps in Doha.0
