Finally, another chance for a stage with a proper bunch sprint, no hills thrown in late on to get in the way. Maybe the stage as a whole doesnt carry the interest for some, but the final 10-20km is always interesting to watch first the various teams duel it out for position - even if it more than likely becomes HTC dominanted - and then the sprint itself.

I thought this shirt was pretty awesome:
https://twitpic.co...
Edit:
Anyway might as well leave my predictions here too. First off, I think Cav or Greipel have this. Farrar probably needs more than just Hushovd leading him out, and Garmin is really battered right now especially with Navardauskas, Hesjedal and VandeVelde injured, as well as Zabriskie out. They do still have Dean and Millar, so Millar might try one of those late attacks like today.
Anyone think its weird that lots of former Discovery (Radioshack counts too) riders and have crashed out of the Tour so far?

Not many mentioning Farrar today. Imo the stage suits him perfectly, and with Dean and Hushovd to lead him out, he is my favorite for today.

I also think Cavendish will win this stage. Maybe Petacchi could challenge him but I don´t think he can win. |

I've bet Cav - he narrowly missed out yesterday.
Matty Goss was ill and Renshaw's legs popped on the last hill so neither were there to help him.
Now that OLO have publicly stated that their intention was to blow #Cav away on that last hill so Greipel could win I suspect HTC will be out to prove themselves again.

Bak and Pate in the front again.
