After the scenery of Yorkshire, we have the tourist sites of London - in what must be Cyanide's most anticipated stage of the race, if their PCM14 promo is anything to go by!
Anything but a sprint will be a surprise and with Cavendish gone, these two line up as favourites.
Day off from work, so i'll catch the start in Cambridge. Then mad dash across the country to meet up with mates in London to watch the finish. Gonna be busy but it should be an epic day out having missed both Yorkshire stages due to work.
This is stage for Giant to loose, cant see anybody challenging Kittel for real, if he is set up nicely. Greipel, Demare, Froome to challenge podium, Sagan to come 4th-5th.
Seeing as the stage is pancake flat it should really be between Kittel and Greipel, and then I suspect that Sagan, van Avermaet and Albasini will sprint to stay up there in the GC.
Clearly Coquard has been targetting the green, hence he will most definately be there aswell. But I have some gut feeling that Kristoff will somehow make a jump for victory today.
I wonder if Renshaw or Trentin will sprint now that Cavendish is not there, or if Kwiatek might do so to climb positions in the GC prior to stage 5.
I've got money on Greipel at 5:1 odds, which is kind of ludicrous really given he comes into the stage as second best sprinter on paper. I've also got a little on Coquard beating Kristoff at 2:1
