So after yesterdays awesome stage can Froome hold on to take the overall win!
I sure hope so!
Slight uphill sprint at the end, not sure it's as steep as it's billed as

That would not withstand challenges given it's an "advisory cycle lane". So not illegal to drive or park in. In fact in many cases it would make...

Only received 1 point for Mikel Nieve for last stage, but he finished 4th on GC and 5th on Mountains classification - shouldn't this be 8 points?
1,2,4,5,9,18 plus hugh carthy last man home
1,2,4,6 plus intxuasti , theuns, kennaugh & ratto
1,4,6,9 for me plus intxausti, Theuns, Kudos and Kennyuck

I quote:
According to the road book, there should be parts of over 20 % on the last 500 meters. This is not the case. Even though the road does kick up on the last kilometer, it’s hardly as steep as the road book leads you to believe. The steepest part comes with about 500 meters to go. The following 300 meters will most likely decide who wins this stage. After turning right in a 180° turn, the last 200 meters are flat and straight-out towards the finishing line.
Thanks to c cycling
That's not good ......I deliberately kept in 2 climbers thinking that finish would be a mix of strong sprinters and mountain types
