| Km 82.5 - Côte de la Citadelle de Namur 2.1 kilometre-long climb at 4.5% - category 4 |
PCM$ Stage Bet
"This pancake flat stage is tailored to pure sprinters. If Cavendish has missed out on a win the day before, this is the perfect place to make amends. This will be the third day straight that the Tour de France stays in Belgium. The stage will start from Visé, which is hosting the Tour for the first time. The bunch will visit the citadel of Namur halfway through the stage (km 82). We are sticking to tradition."

Some narrow crazy roads in this stage iirc. Hope no GC contender ends his Tour tomorrow.

Pretty predictable stage. I am going with Sagan again. |

Sagan will go for a streak as he usually does. |

Is the finish flat or "flat"? Because it looks like it's going up.

It's flat. It gains like 5m in 500m, so that's like a 1% slope.

**** Cavendish
*** Greipel, Kittel, Goss, Sagan
** Pettacchi, Renshaw, Rojas, Farrar
* Freire, Boasson Hagen, Bozic, Van Hummel, Dumoulin, Cancellara, Hutarovich
I bet $2 on Farrar just for the heck of it.

I read somewhere that Freire won't be sprinting on the flat stages.
I think Hutarovich might suprirse. Not a win of course, but maybe a top 5?

I think Goss, because I vote for anyone but Cav to get varying results once in a while, or thats the hope 
The hills before the final will be too much for Kittel....

Then, what will Freire do? Sounds odd. There is like 1 stage left which finishes uphill. He will maybe target the breaks, but... come on |

No need to worry, I reckon he'll just make the time limit.

I thought he would be eliminated in the prologue. I'm pretty sure there was a 2% slope at around km 4.
