>De Pestel has no issue with a spectacular final stage in principle, but according to the 27-year-old rider, the course is simply not safe enough. “There are many hairpin bends on the descents, and the roads through the city center are incredibly slippery.”

>“They really need to consider the riders—especially the GC contenders, who have been fighting for every second for three weeks and could lose two minutes due to a flat tire. That would be a shame,” the East Fleming concluded.

>For the time being, the race will not be neutralized, even though a majority of the teams reportedly voted in favor of neutralization. The stage starts on Sunday afternoon at 4:20 PM.
