Foiano di Val Fortore > Francavilla al Mare 208km

Another long stage for the sprint teams to control. 208km in total, and with a tricky looking start, some breakaway riders will sniff a chance of doing something. Lidl-Trek don’t need to chase the break, Milan has a stage win a nice lead in the Ciclamino jersey, chasing only gives his rivals a chance of closing the advantage. Alpecin did all the chasing on Sunday, and got nothing from it, will they be happy to do all the work again? We’ll have to wait and see.
