It won't happen, but I hope Kreuziger goes on the attack tomorrow. Or at least that Contador fucks up so Kreuziger doesn't have to deal with that bum leeching off his back wheel. |

Contador should attack from long range. Either he has it, or he has not and can leave leader place to Kreuziger.
Attack, attack and attack is only weapon against Sky, so anyone should try it. They will not gain a thing by just sitting there. Well, if they are not resigned and focused to 3rd place battle now, which is possible.
If not Conta, than some Frenchie from the break is possible, rider like Pinot or Rolland. Sagan has no chance to come over in bunch, but maybe BOTD is an option for him, but i doubt other teams will let him go. Also OPQS rider like Velits could have a good shot too.
Should be a better stage to watch than yesterday.

Well I over in the US, not sure I feel like getting up early anymore to watch, the TdF is already over unless Froome crashes hard, even then it seems very possible Porte is the next best.

You guys atleast get the choice. Here in Canada, I think we have it fit into a 30 min timeslot because of Wimbledon and the German F1 GP this weekend on the TSN and TSN2 
Im hoping the stage takes longer than anticipated.

Watch it online...we don't get it at all in the US. I just watch one of the Eurosport streams from CyclingFans.

I'm going to say a break with Voeckler, LL.Sanchez and Casar to fight for the win.

This sure would be an interesting fight, with Voeckler on a bike and Lulu & Casar on the sofa.  |

Didn't even bother looking to see if either was in the race 
Well, possibly Pinot in the break then? Lost a bit of time yesterday and is still probably trying to recover. The descents would be a big obstacle for him though.

Sagan is trying to jump into BOTD right from the start.

Looks like the elastic might take a bit more yet before it will break. Albasini and Roy tried going off the front, after the previous attempt containing Hoogerland was brought back, and now they too are back in the peloton.
Edit #1: Tejay van Garderen goes on the attack, with Simon Greschke in tow.
Edit #2: Sky were not having any of that, as they reel Tejay van Garderen and Simon Greschke back in.

I'm hoping for a 10+ guy armada in the break, just to keep things extra interesting.

Big group feat. Chavanel, Sagan, Paulinho, Rojas and other trying to get away.
Rolland is there as well.

The real sprinters will have a tough day ahead of them.
Sagan is awesome right now keen on those points, even though he doesn't really need them anymore  |

They should just have ended the stage on La Hourquette d'Ancizan instead of having that 30km downhill. ¨
But it might be a fantastic stage if the riders all "team up" against Sky and make them work all through the day. And I finaly get to see a stage from the get-go, usually TV2 starts when it's about 80-100km to og.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Bauer and Millar caught by the peloton's constant attacking, still no established group out front. |
