Giro Stage 4 - Catanzaro to Praia-a-Mare *spoiler*
Italy after the long transfer. Will all/ some of the sprinters make it over the final climb to compete for the win?


This is the important climb which tops out with just 8km to go -


A series of tight bends after the fast descent will make it difficult for sprint teams to chase down any lead group, but after that it looks like a straight 2.5km run along the seafront to the finish.

Current 18mph dead easterly - which would have been a full tail wind to the coast
Love that Rob Hatch just started to translate Visconti's English answer into English!
Probably be one of those scenarios where 15 or so riders kick off on the climb, get a gap but then mess about wanting someone else to do the work.
Kittel - 38%
Demare - 16%
Colbrelli - 7%
Viviani - 7%
Nizzolo - 7%
Trentin - 4%
Wellens - 4%
Ewan - 4%
Also one off picks for Bak, Battaglin, Cancellara, Jungels, Moser, and Sbaragli.

I'm assuming that, like me, no one really looked at the profile today...

Cheers, not sure why my eurosport player just has ambient noise.
That stream screws my browser
Well the Kittel pick % is well down on the last two stages...
Yeah, I'm working whilst flicking between watching and listening to this, I misheard how far back Landa was, and for a second thought he was in the Kittel group.
Valverde maybe for this stage and a pink Jersey.
