Cavendish, Petacchi, Farrar surely?
But will Greipel, Hushovd, Boonen, Boasson Hagen do well?
I have my eyes set on Bozic and Ruben Perez, but I really don't know who else could surprise.
I see Boasson doing the lead-out for Swift. That's why they took Swift, for the flat sprints. |

I knew you were going to mention Swift, as soon as I saw you posted 
Rojas consistently Top 10's, and Greipel will do well too. Also Turgot might do well.

Ventoso will be Movistar's main man for tomorrow. Stage 4 and 6 though, they might suit Rojas better. |

the wind is predicted to be pretty strong, so we could have echelons |

Do you really believe Swift is strong enough to do anything?

They wouldn't take him for nothing would they ? If they did, they should have picked Stannard by mile. So I believe he can do Top 10 or Top 5 in sprints. |

+1 ive seen sprints done by swift before. He looked strong. I'm hoping to see him in action tomorrow going for the stage
lets hope for echelons. Give the GC and its contenders a new view!

I thought they took Swift for the TTT and perhaps as a pilot. If they are looking for top 5-10 then Hagen is just as good...

Hmmm
I'm sorry but they're riding for Swift. Or else they've smoked a little too much weed in the fancy team bus.

Hi all. I think that Cavs will win the stage with the HTC train (Eisel ,today fall at the CRE), Renshaw, Tony Martin will work for Cavs? Because he can be the HTC leader´s for the general classification. Well, I don´t know, but the stage will be win by Sky, Garmin-Cervélo or HTC, that´s sure!! Someone think that Rojas has any possibilities tomorrow? |

I think Movistar are going to ride for Ventoso. Rojas' more for the hilly stages. |

El Fares isn't a sprinter.
And I don't know if Vacansoleil will be riding for Feillu... anyone can confirm/not confirm it? |

He has been doing quite a lot of results indicating elseway in the recent couple of TdF's... Two years ago he was the 14th best scoring rider on flat terrains, in the danish managergame
