Stage 4 of the Volta a Comunitat Valenciana will be a crucial day for the overall classification as the climbers head into the toughest stage of the race. Giulio Ciccone will have a difficult task against the likes of Bahrain - Victorious and INEOS Grenadiers on a difficult day.
The queen stage. Stage four of the race will see over 3500 meters of climbing which will be evenly spread throughout the whole day. The race may be decided on the slopes of the Alto de la Cueva Santa where the stage will finish, it won't be an overly hard climb but the GC could be virtually closed at the end of the day. It features 8.1 kilometers at 4.9%.
However, the day features four other categorized climbs and many other small ones. Breakaways and early attacks are possibly going to be dangerous, specially as some teams may look to play with their numbers in order to break the support around Ciccone.
Prediction Time
*** Pello Bilbao, Aleksandr Vlasov
** Tao Geoghegan Hart, Mikel Landa, Brandon McNulty
* Giulio Ciccone, Rui Costa, Thomas Gloag, Lennard Kämna, Carlos Rodríguez
Pick: Aleksandr Vlasov
