I guess I'd better go ahead and go with Betancur for the win....He's strong right now.

 

[BYOP88]

Today is the day that Andy makes it into the top 100. Dude is on fire!

 

[VeloHuman]

Stage looks tailormade for a break. Wonder if Chavanel gets involved now that he's out of GC contention?

 

[rghysens]

what a waste of climbs. Stage for the breakaway.

étape 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Class. 4 10 3 8 14 14

Rojas finally to break out of that almost-man bubble in which he has been locked for 2 years.

 

[vladimir]

Tailor made for Chavanel or Voeckler from a break. Vanendert looked better than in years yesterday and might get involved as well.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The Hotsteppers are not done yet. Plenty of opportunities for some serious racing on the route today.

But ag2r looks surprisingly strong overall.

Stybar FTW.

 

[Netserk]

The fat cat to show his class again today!

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Either Chava or Voeckler from a break, or Degenkolb from a bunch sprint.....

Judging from the profile the final 2km is at about 5%? Maybe a bit less. That should be within the range of Degenkolb.

 

[Cimber]

It will be a break I am sure. Chava for the win.

 

[manafana]

depends on big break is for me, if its just 4o5 then enough teams behind might think they can win a stage.

 

[ianstannard]

Porte will be up there with Quintana and Contador, Kwia 10-20 seconds behind

Good call, not fancying Quintana's chances?

 

[Pentacycle]

Three years Di Grégorio won on this finish, I think it could be harder than expected.

Get out of this thread. You are in the wrong thread. Trolling again?

Very similar weather conditions this year too.

 

[greenedge]

Stybar or Matthews

 

[Pentacycle]

Very similar weather conditions this year too.

There are some hills in the final, so a bunch sprint is almost impossible. Anyways I knew I'd have to regret not saying anything about the weather I don't expect anything that comes close to Remy's epic ride in 2011.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman and Slagter to unleash hell

 

[Jspear]

Porte will be up there with Quintana and Contador, Kwia 10-20 seconds behind

Porte, Quintana, Contador, and Kwia will all be dead last....better yet, it'll read Dnf.

 

[EnacheV]

FEILLU Brice at 45' from the break, he is 1min down on GC, if he catches the break bye bye

 

[Dazed and Confused]

146km to to go, gap 5:45

24 Brice Feillu (BSE) +1:06
56 Matthias Frank (IAM) +13:32
57 Lieuwe Westra (AST) +14:29
71 Florian Guillou (BSE) +18:46
75 Pim Ligthart (LTB) +21:04
88 Laurent Didier (TFR) +24:59
97 Sylvester Szmyd (MOV) +27:24
114 Cyril Lemoine (COF) +32:02
140 Albert Timmer (GIA) +42:59

Feillu will make sure we have a proper race today.

Still Stybar FTW.

 

[BigMac]

The break won't take it. Also, GT will have his jesey back for Betancur will pop.

Porte will be up there with Quintana and Contador, Kwia 10-20 seconds behind

Its not funny anymore, you know. In fact, it never was.

How mods fail to see the trolling in your posts is beyond my comprehension.

snipped..

Exactly, with Feillu in play the peloton is force to chase potentially setting up a solid finale with GC impact.

ag2r's team is probably the strongest in the race imo.
