The Tour of Alps basically has 5 mountain stages but continues the weird trend of refusing to have a proper mountaintop finish, I have no idea why they hate them so! As usual, just about every main rider is here after an altitude camp, getting crucial racing in the legs before the Giro. Predicting just how they respond is always a little bit tricky, it’s really about how they perform in May, but they’d all love to have a good week. Please note, intermediate sprints don’t have any bonus seconds this week, but there’s still 10-6-4 at the finish.
