This time, there’s no doubt about it: the sprinters will be knocked out of contention on a run over no fewer than seven Welsh climbs. The most aggressive and opportunistic puncheurs will dispute the day’s spoils and perhaps the Yellow Jersey, which is likely to change hands a number of times during the first three stages in Britain. Whether tempted onto the attack or determined to race defensively, the Tour favourites will need to show their hand in a finale featuring a series of steep “walls” on the approach to Cardiff.
