these stages are harder to pick than a broken nose as they contain enough hills to shake it up, but without the mountain top finish, the gc leaders are not always going to go hard. as such a breakaway stayed away and line honours went to greg van avermaet of silence-lotto. however, the leaders jersey now falls to egoi martinez as he gained enough time to squeeze in front of levi.on the tipping front, there was no change. everyone got the same time and a lot of tipsters wasted their valverde pick. it was such a relaxed peleton that even if you didn't pick and got the default rider, you still got the same time as everyone else. no sprint points or mountain points for anyone.
a much flatter stage tomorrow with only one climb early on. so can you pick the breakaway, or will the sprinters teams pull them back and go for glory?
