With the hills to come, looking good for the breakaway.
To me it seems like the stage is more flat in general in the last third they have just entered. From the top of the last cat. 4 hill at 129 km, it's all flat.
But it seems like Sky and Lotto have stopped - so the victory is up for grabs. |

Peloton have passed the site of the oil slick with no problems following the clean up (and slow down for that matter).

Why are GreenEdge in the tour?
No wins, no attacks
They've basically been silent
Goss had a few god sprints early on, getting on the podium, but seriously biggest disappointment of the Tour

They have a WT liscense for some reason. The have basically one great rider and a few decent ones. Pro cont if you ask me.

Agreed, they haven't managed to get the best out of the possibilities they have had. I specifically remember the 12 stage where the break had 1'30, which consisted of 5 rider, and the sprint was tailermade for Goss - all GreenEDGE cared about was the green jersey, so when they had bridged the gap to Sagan, they didn't care anymore. Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Huge disappointment to me. As big as Rabobank before LLS got the win yesterday. It's rest day tomorrow? Come on.

Totally agree with you, they have offered nothing at all except from a few sprint finishes |

Actually I meant that there have been 3 abandons at nearly the same time but Lancaster and Bernaudeu have already been mentioned.
Chavanel and Jerome have been far earlier today.
And Vacansoleil should still have 4 with Hoogerland, Boeckmans, Marcato and Valls I think. |

Boeckmans, Hoogerland, Marcato & Valls = 4 Vacansoleil riders?
(Edit: like roturn said a minute ago )

Haha, I failed here. Thought Boeckmans abandoned few days ago... 
I think I need rest from the Expansion Pack files...

I fancy Dries Devenyns or Nicki Sorensen just because OPQS and Sexy Tinkoff bank dont have a stage win yet.

Excellent opportunity for Dumoulin. He's the best sprinter in the group according to me, followed by Fédrigo.
Vande Velde, Devenyns and Sörensen will have to attack if they want to win this. Voeckler could surprise in a sprint I think.
