Three highlights in one stage: the enchanting setting of the Lake District National Park early in the stage; a sequence of five categorised climbs to spur on attackers and animate the battle for the polka-dot jersey; and an unpredictable finale on the way into Liverpool. Some sprinters will have hopes of overcoming the day’s challenges, but they’ll have their work cut out for them when it comes to controlling the race, especially as the wind could sap the peloton’s resources as it races along the coast.
