Have you seen the hill before the finish? McEwen has no chance of getting up that and keeping position for the sprint. He'll probably go and prove me wrong, but I still think he has no chnce, the hill is simply too steep for McEwen.

Huge split in the field because of the crash. Froome is pacing Soler back to the 2nd group.
Go Froome!

I agree, McEwen hasn't showed anything this year either, so i'm not even sure he can win a stage.
Also, Soler seems to have injured his hand again, so maybe Tour over for him? |

Yeah go Froome. You can just tell that Soler is nervous.

Arroyo is in the 2nd group, but Valverde was smart enough to be at the front of the peleton when the crash happened.

I think Columbia are riding on the front for Kirchen, instead of Hincapie.

Hincapie is a decent sprinter and he is a lot better on the hills.
