I'd say Sagan or Breakaway but having todays stage in mind, Sagan'll get owned by the huge talent Chris Froome.

Luis Leon Sanchez? Gutierrez? Costa? Is Casar or Fedrigo here?
I think it will be a break, but I hope its more than that. Some GC riders need to make up time. Maybe an attack with 60km left could work for a select few that need time back.
Could be exciting.

Froome can indeed TT well - he bet Wiggins at the Vuelta TT last year.
I think, given the circumstances, Andy Schleck is going to need more than a good route reccoinaissance to pull this one out of the bag. |

I'll congratulate them like I did Froome today.
Then if an irrational fanboy makes accusations that people are "just jealous", I'll attempt to argue them down rationally.
In other words, same as ever

He can TT very well. He can be on par with Wiggins in longer TT's, but usually below. I expect him to to similar to Evans in the TT coming up.
No change of leader just yet though Wiggins on a finish that doesn't suit him, was strong.

This stage suits him great. Same with Albasini, which makes quite odd that both went in the breakaway today.

I also think will be a breakaway day.
My beats are: J.Simon, LL. Sanchez, Roy, Feillu, Kiserlovski, Albasini. |

Isso, even though I am British and often defend the British riders that you try to pick faults in, for some strange reason I actually like you and enjoy reading your comments.
EDIT: I reckon it will come down to a sprint between the GC contenders and Wiggins does what he did in Romandie

Exactly. It made very little sense that they were there today.
Maybe gambling on a small chance of getting yellow because winning from breaks they can always do later?

He's saving himself for 14th of July.

Hoogerland as knee problems.

However, if he can attack with 33 stitches, attacking shouldn't be a problem tomorrow

C.A. Sorensen will be in the break probably.
Not sure why Albasini was in the break today as tomorrow will be much better for him. Maybe Gerrans will be in the break tomorrow?

I'll go for Chris Anker although it would be the second day in a row he would be in a difficult breakaway...but I have a suspicion that this will be the etape Chavanel has picked for himself....suits him perfectly |
