I'm pretty sure Laporte will win tomorrow.

Isn't the finish already too steep for Kittel?
Also the length of the stage could bring him in trouble. |

Yeah, looks like the finish rises a little, could mean Sagan, Mathews and the like have a slight advantage.

Roughly 30 metres of altitude raise on a kilometer thats barely noticeable, especially when you go steaming in there @ 60 kph. Won't matter. |

Agree with Luxemburger and trekbmc though Greipel still should be sprinting very good.Cav is focusing on track so the final and the distance may be a little hard for him like Kittel |

Ah, right, guess I misjudged it in the profile.

Definitely to steep.
Nah, I probably should stop hate on Kittel. He doesn't deserve it despite not being able to climb a bump.
This stage probably looks like the biggest snoozefest of this year's Tour. Who has it? Sagan in yellow would be great, im hoping he can pull it off. I don't really like any of the sprinters, sad Bouhanni is gone, otherwise had rooted for him. |

Very good and sympathetic words once again from Valverde:
“We couldn’t take so many risks before the closing climbs; it wasn’t worth for me since, while it’s obvious that I could chase the stage win, everyone in this team has come to this Tour to help Nairo out. He’s 100,000 times better positioned than me and with a better shot at the Tour that I’ll ever be. That said, into such a finish, with wide roads, it wasn’t difficult for me to get in a good place, and once there, you just don’t break - you’ve got to go for it.
“I was doing well before the last kilometer uphill, but I took the coice to following Matthews’ wheel into the final 500 meters, and I got a bit boxed in from the left-hand side as I sought for my sprinting distance. I thought Matthews would be stronger into such a kick, and once I got past his wheel, the rivals in front of me, super fast guys like Sagan and Alaphilippe, were impossible to overtake. [Asked by journalists about the GC] The dark horse? Seriously, I can’t be a dark horse after 14 years as a pro. And I don’t make any conclusions out of this third place. We’re all behind Nairo.”
I had hoped Izagirre or Rosa to try themselves somewhat out in the GC. Doesn't seem to happen at all now. Thomas lost 30 seconds today, Zaka almost a minute. Meanwhile, Landa has been kept in contention. I think thats their plan B for now, very wisely. Hoping he will do well. |

It's for Sagan again, he'll be 2agan for having won 2 stages in a row

Laporte will win Bouhanni's place

Laporte? Barely know the guy. Hopefully not
Coquard would be nice tho, but Limoges is way better for him. That stage could end up a little harder than some might expect, IMO. |

Yeah I don't understand how anybody would have an issue about a lesser known rider winning a Tour stage
