MILLAR SAYS

With the second rest day coming, expect a frenetic first hour until the break goes and everything settles down. With some kind of sanity being restored by the race leader’s team and most of the stage at 1,000m it’ll be a chance to observe the views back in the peloton whilst those desperados in the break knock the stuffing out of each other. GC guys will be hiding, sprinters will be hurting and those who were ordered to be in the escape and didn’t or couldn’t make it will be cursing.
