The perennial breakaway chancer?
It’s how he’s made the top 10 of 3 or 4 Grand Tours.

Unlikely in this version though.
Could still win a stage, but not a place on GC.

I rode the stage a couple of weeks ago, and a couple of things surprised me:
1) The inclusion of Col du Page: this is a very small, unmaintained road off of the main Col d’Oderen. The descent was short to the main road, but I found it quite sketchy.
2) The Col du Haag is very inconsistent: Steep ramps and then recover. The top half is just a bike lane, but with a brand new surface (photo). The final ramp onto the Route de Crêtes is the toughest, but I suspect it will all be over by then.

So do we think Pidders can do a number on Remco for the GC? There is the TT looming of course but neither flat nor long.

Long shot ...hell finish top ten somewhere .... He won't be allowed in a break unchallenged. Remco may collapse and have a bad day ...but doesn't look.likf it tbh . I can see remco and pidders getting dropped and working in a chase group a bit behind
