Another climb of Mount Cassel, but again 30 km from the finish line. Therefore it should end up with a bunch sprint, among a bunch perhaps reduced by echelons.

Makes me think maybe some of the sprinters are still quite frustrated after the opening stage, which is why I feel like they will be desperate for a result here.
I agree, they absolutely will not let this stage get away from them. I wonder what the finish is like, if it's technical and could get dangerous.
Edit: Apparently it's a straight run-in followed by a sharp turn 1500 meters from the finish line, then softly undulating 6 m wide roads through the city and a soft curve onto the 200 meter straight flat sprint. Should be pretty safe - but sometimes those "safe" finishes end up being the most dangerous of them all because everyone wants to be in position.
