That's the name of the road that's actually the lead-in to the finish tomorrow! Not a joke.King Boonen said:

Cannondale will be forced to race quite hard, early in the stage imo if they want Sagan to win. I wouldn't be surprised if a guy like Chavanel breaks away on the final climbs and wins.

Maybe
Anyway if Sagan is fit (the crash looked pretty bad) I hope that Cannondale will ride as hard as they can through cat3 and cat2 to drop sprinters.It is a good chance for Sagan and Kristoff.
Still I won't be surprised if Cav is there.

GreenEdge and Cannondale have an obligation to ride hard on the climbs. If they don't, I would be very disappointed.
Just noticed (and glad) that the entire stage will be shown on the NBC Sports feed (for those of us with the web subscription)

Agree, several teams gotta get going from the start today. Hell I think Vancan should engage as well. Who knows what Boeckmans and the young Van Poppel can do on the climbs.
Not a breakaway but I could see one rider maybe getting away on the last climb and hanging on. The usual suspects and any early K.O.M contenders who fancy their chances with any gap theyve made. One could hang on.
Navardauskas I think could figure quite high up, Gilbert may well have a go.

Chavanel and Gerrans will attack on the final climb. It should be highly entertaining if the riders ride with common sense!
Action shot from yesterday's stage:
Millar turning into a sprinter, part of JV's chaos strategy presumable.

They might try to get a couple of decent climbers in the break to go for a stage win.

I hope he takes it nice and easy today. Although whether it's in his nature to do so is another matter...

Tony's dream was to wear yellow.
However, even if he was 100% fit this wouldn't be possible anymore as lots of Omega riders are in front of him in the GC. So no chance Tony can take yellow after the TTT. Therefore i suppose he'll be in the grupetto today. Helping Kittel maybe
Thanks. Good news, can't imagine he'll be part of any lead out attempt today though. Even if Cav does have a go.
