The finale is devoid of major difficulties, but it could still be decisive. A 144-kilometre timed section is never a comfortable place to be for the person leading the race. After all, Toby Price was tantalisingly close to his third trophy at the start of stage 14 last year, but his 12-second margin was not enough to contain the surge of Kevin Benavides, who pipped him at the post to claim the motorbike title. The gaps near the top could be a bit wider this year… but you never know!
