A hilly stage, most likely for breakawaymen. A faint last chance for L. Martinez to score mountain points and finish 2^nd^ before Vingegaard (Pogatchar is now out of his reach; only Vingegaard could in theory still grab the mountain jersey).
Beware: the stage starts and finishes about one hour earlier than most others, as there is a hell of a transfer to Paris area afterwards.
Yes, Plapp was the one I was very surprised to not see chasing. He has been quite strong at this Tour, and even tried for some breaks later in the race.
