Le Tour de France 2011
Lorient > Mur de Bretagne 172km
Stage Info (From Cyclingnews.com)
Another of Prudhomme's ploys is to attempt to put the race's major players under pressure on as many days as possible. Although of average length, this run into central Brittany could cause a surprise as the roads in the region are notoriously heavy, meandering and lumpy. That could mean splits in the bunch. More likely, though, are splits among the leaders on the 2km climb to the finish, which will be undertaken at extremely high speed. Once again, puncheurs like Gilbert and FDJ's Pierrick Fédrigo will in their element while the specialist sprinters will struggle.

I hope Evans will produce good peformance, but Gilbert has to be big favourite.

Gilbert should start with a heavier bike. Otherwise this will be too easy.
Also, Evans will get yellow. |

Kolobnev? Gerrans? I'm sure if Garmin are only going for stage wins Hesjedal should be free to ride tommorow, and anyway, VandeVelde is clearly leader (wrong decision in my opinion) so why not give Hesjedal a go like Stage 3 last year.

Your forgetting Evans and Hushovd in that one.

Not Hushovd. This finish is too steep for him.

The finish is to tough for Rojas and Hushovd I belive. It's quite steep. Average gradient of nearly 15%, I think?
I really can't see how Gilbert can possibly loose this one, as long as he doesn't crash. |

too steep for Thor.
I expect a mix of puncheurs and GC riders. Gilbert wins obviously |

Attackers will have to make their move early on the climb if they want to make any difference.
