It all depends on how hard they ride over that climb ca. 30 km before the finish. I think Katusha and Quickstep will try to use the climb to get rid of Cavendish and Petacchi.
My tip is Pozatto will take it. |

a breakaway is always an option as well.

Hard stage to predict tomorrow but something tells me Cunego will wake up from his graveyard and...
...no wait he will suck as always
maybe a Diquigiovanni rider will take the last hill to attack and spread havoc in the bunch!
otherwise I guess it'll be between Davis, Pozzato and... EBH

And that is a reason for throwing out doping accusations?
Btw, you're 13. Let me know when you've hit puberty and then you can start talking again. |

Uh, like T. Dekker? He was never hyped beyond belief, and won a big race every year and progressed every year, until LBL 08/romandie 08.
No hyping there, when he was hyped, he immediately confirmed with results.
At the same age as Hagen, Dekker had already won the Tirreno Adriatico, the hardest stage in the criterium international against Basso, Julich and Jaksche and the mountain TT against Di Luca, Kirchen and Boogerd. Just to remind you.

We all poke a little fun at t-baum, but that seems a little... harsh. |

Thats harsh i think todays stage should suite him and he may try something at the end, especially as lampre are working on the front to close down the breakaway 
But someone like Di luca will probably spoil my fun and take the victory xD

Ten guys in a breakaway now: Dario Cataldo (Quick Step), Johann Tschopp (Bbox Bouygues Telecom), Evgeni Petrov (Katusha), Giovanni Visconti (ISD), David López GarcÃa (Caisse d'Epargne), Serge Pauwels (Cervélo TestTeam), Carlos José Ochoa (Diquigiovanni), Jelle Vanendert (Silence-Lotto), Héctor González (Fuji-Servetto) and Eduard Vorganov (Xacobeo Galicia).
I don't think LPR will let them go, because Di Luca wants to have the Maglia Rosa for as long as possible. This is kinda stupid of LPR if they want to have a chance in the final GC, as they'll exhaust their team if they continue like this.
He managed to have the Maglia Rosa for 13 days when he won in 07, but he had a much stronger team around him then.
