I don't get it. Polish eurosport says that was the stage with high mountains and it's won by the sprinter?! They wasted the climb up the Orlinek and the stage to Zakopane was too easy. I hope that Gliczarow, which is tomorrow, will be too hard for the sprinters.

By far. As Alakagom pointed out, all GC riders/teams concentrate on tomorrow, where the overall will be decided.

Can't tell you gradients but the main climb - it's quite tough ( same climb as Pologne 2011 )

Detailed profile here - mind that only first 7km are in this years TdP. After that they go downhill instead of following this climb.

Why did Sky bother putting Stannard in the breakaway only for them to chase it back again because of GC? Stannard might as well have stayed in the peloton with them

They have an image to maintain.
How hard can it be?

What do you mean? If you're talking about coverage I think they're getting enough of that at the moment

I was refering to their history of making moronic tactical moves.

All I can think of is that Stannard wants to get some hard racing in his legs so he can be ready for the Olympics. Clutching at straws a little there though

Perhaps, but I must say I'm impressed with his climbing skills though, keeping up with Huzarski and Kreuziger.

Tour lost on bonus seconds... But for a moment it looked like Michal can hold onto the yellow. Bravo Moser, another brilliant finish on a hilly stage!
