We're not entirely sure why they have five days of clear sprint stages, and yet make the riders ride for 200km prior to what each should be a bunch sprint. We guess the prologue mixes things up and the winner of the prologue could actually be the winner of the entire GC as a whole. Unlikely though because of bonus seconds.

Value Picks

The odds haven't dropped yet, but Olav Kooij has been showing remarkable form lately, as has Sam Welsford. Cavendish is coming to the Tour with his supposed lead out man Cees Bol and maybe they can work on their lead out train before the Tour hits.

Tobias Lund Andersen has been sprinting incredibly well and could provide value given he's still not a "brand" name sprinter.
