Sagan seems realistic, but I can't figure out who is injured and who's not.
Both EBH and Kristoff are high on my ranking also. Bu Sagan is infront of them. Also I would assume that Gilbert, Degenkolb, Goss, Albasini or Gavazzi could also do well.
It's hard to know just how difficult the stage is. Can Greipel and Cavendish get over? Perhaps. The final 1km climb with an average of 9% could be interesting for several puncheurs.

Since I'm Dutch, I'm hoping for a late attack of Westra, Hoogerland, Mollema, Boom or an other Dutchman, or of course DANNY VAN POPPEL. 
But right, if I'm realistic, I'd definitely go for Sagan, if he recovered okay from his crash.
Kristoff has a good chance as well though

Sagan looked like he hit the tarmac a bit hard today. My guess will be an outsider. Someone like Sylvain Chavanel or Voeckler.

Kristoff or the break for me. I would really like David Millar to take yellow on stage positions, I can dream right? |

Added the profile to the first post and changed the title to something more proper.
Cavendish is my pick.

Greipel seems a solid bet for tomorrow in my eyes. No adverse affects from today's crash plus he can probably cope better than Cav on the climbs. |

I'll bet on Kristoff. Does EBH know how to sprint? |

That finish is too hard for a traditional sprinter such as Greipel and Cavendish. It is much more suited to a puncher like Gilbert or Sagan. Of course it all depends who recovers well over night.
Sagan obviously in the mix, as is Degenkolb and Rojas. Gilbert must be watched. But my big call is Cancellara. He always does well on these type of stages and really must be watched.

Cancellara win would be unbelievable. Largely coz he isnt in the race.

I bet you all my money (PCM and real) that he's not going to win the stage tomorrow. |

Greipel IS rather good on those hills. I expect him to make the selection.
If he does, him versus Sagan. Degenkolb and Goss are best suited as well, but if Sagan is there, they are too slow.
One of those 4 will certainly be there, so it takes some failed positioning or not enough firepower by their teams to give others a chance.

Please tell me if you've found a site that takes bets on whether Cancellara will win.5
I'll bet my house.
