OPQS will leave the work to others for sure, they must be pretty tired.
I hope to see fireworks.
Oh, wait, I'll miss the stage because I have a gig. I hope this is one boring stage.  |

Could see Cannondale repeating last weeks efforts to drop Cav, Greipel and Kittel before the intermediate sprint, and perhaps continue to the finish. They certainly won't have any need to rest ahead of Ventoux.

Ya, this stage tomorrow will be for all the teams that have not to save up for Mt. Ventoux. |

Would've had hopes for Nordhaug if Belkin didn't make him work his ass off today  |

This.
Cannondale can tear it apart again and later they will be joined by Saxo who will try to isolate and beat Froome again. Or they will rest before Ventoux...
Anyway, break or Sagan for the win.

Breakaway
*  Julien Simon (Sojasun) | *  Imanol Erviti (Movistar) | | * Joaquin Rojas (Movistar) | | * Egoitz GarcÃa (Cofidis, Solutions Credits) | | * Blel Kadri (AG2R) | *  Pavel Brutt (Katusha) | *  Matteo Trentin (Omega Pharma Quickstep) | *  Lars Bak (Lotto) | *  David Millar (Garmin Sharp) | *  Simone Gesckhe (Argos) | | * Marcus Burghardt (BMC) | *  Micheal Albasini (Orica GreenEdge) | | * Jens Voigt (Radioshack Leopard Trek) | | * Arthur Vichot (FDJ) | | * Cyril Gautier (Europcar) | *  Tejay Van Garderen (BMC) | *  Jan Bakelants (Radioshack Leopard Trek) | | * Andrew Talansky (Garmin Sharp) |
To be fair, almost anyone of those here, bar just few, could win it if they have a super day and time their attack right, highlighted just a few interesting ones.

no Vacansoleil, Belkin, Lampre, Cannondale, Sky. think that's all the teams that aren't in the break
Cannondale is going to need to lead the chase if they want to win

Saxo and Euskaltel aren't present either.
Big fail by Vacans, Lampre and Euskaltel as this stage is almost sure to be won from the break. Doubt very much Cannondale has much chance of brining them at later stage.

There's no guarantee this break will be allowed to go.
Especially with sprinters like Geschke and Vichot there (I refuse to mention Rojas because he couldn't win the sprint from a solo break)
EDIT: And Simon

Doesn't look like the group will be allowed to stay clear. Euskaltel are chasing hard.
Could potentially be another excellent stage if this continues.

Well, Cannondale must be loving this so far. I underestimated Euskaltel willingness to catch the break :L

The Izagirre's are likely winners if they get in the right break
(Preferably Ion for my fantasy team )

20 minutes ahead of the fastest time schedule so far 
EDIT: Euskaltel seem to be losing ground, though. Needs help if they're going to catch the break.

Euskaltel fading now. Gap increasing

Cannondale will pull it back on the cat 3.
