(PREVIEW) After yesterdays surprise (but not entirely unpredicted) breakaway win, Philipsen will surely be even more motivated to pull a break back for a sprint.

But a hilly profile will surely make it harder than yesterday, and with few other teams likely to help out this is probably one for the break. So could be a hard fought start.

That was an entertaining stage to watch. The fight for the break was great and I am glad to see them make it to the end.

Woke up this morning thinking about what Mohoric said in the interview, the emotions he showed.

I love it when a rider talks about more than: yeah, I won an I’m so happy.

And if you haven’t seen it yet, here is part of it.

Ps I wanted to post this as a separate post, but for some reason I can’t add a photo even if I resize it to 300x400 and a photo is required to post it.

Oh and I can’t be the only one happy that Philipsen didn’t win again. The way he tried to control the race on Thursday really ticked me off.

I think the breakaways stayed away just to annoy him 😂
