You could be right but he lost 6.22 yesterday. There was either a problem or he is setting himself for a breakaway. With the time lost to the GC guys they might let him go for a wander up the road. He has got to get a result soon to confirm his spot in the Tour.

Which suits Degenkolb as much as it does Hagen, unless the climb is 3/4/5km, which it isn't

Against guys like Jrod, Evans and Vino? I have some confidence that EBH will take the win than Degenkolb. Degenkolb is a first year pro.
 
I think it will be a win for EBH with Gerrans to try attack. I think the race will be hard as some GC guys might try get rid of Martin before the ITT. I wonder whether Evans could snatch the lead off Vino even in the ITT now with his new position.

If Flecha and Thomas hit the bottom of that climb at 60+kph it will be over so quickly I just cant see the likes of Rodrigues having the time.

EBH has to be the favourite, maybe Vino if he plays it canny.

That would be the prediction of the century:)

I will say Edvald Boasen Hagen. As said before, the last 500 meter is with 6% so I think the sprint will be to hard for the pronounced sprinters.

Yep, you'd have to think Sky have a number of strong hands to play - Thomas, Flecha, EBH and Gerrans.

Km 40 and 4 minutes to the 3
Let's hope it goes up to twice that, but not likely given it's only the three. Still a good move for Omega Pharma Lotto to have Jurgen Van de Walle up there..a plus for Van den Broeck!
