Would be nicer to see it back in the double directly off the back of La Turbie, but this'll do I guess. There is still a good chance that with enough recuperation time between Peille and Èze, José Joaquín Rojas can defend a top 5 GC placement, which for a sprinter at P-N is pretty hilarious.

Personally, I'll cheer for Fuglsang to drop at least Rojas and Stybar, so that he can get on the podium. Whether it's realistic I am not quite sure, but he has had the legs to attack in almost every finale so far (hilly stages, obviously).
Oh, and I hope we'll see something from one of the Schlecks tomorrow. Fränk is no GC-threat now (if he ever was), so they'll probably let him go in a break.

Chava has attacked lots, but he appears weaker than before. Can't see him getting a win.
ag2r will control this tight, perhaps with the help of other French friends.
Still hoping Stybar can get a win here.

It's not hilarious, Rojas can hold himself well in week-long races, even if they feature real mountains (Tirreno, Switzerland, P-N) when he's not on domestique duty. He has finished in the top 20 of Paris-Nice twice already, despite losing a considerable amount of time in the one (2011) or two (2012) time trials.

Without Bardet's incident on stage 1 and Vuillermoz's crash on stage 6, they would likely have placed 3 riders in top 10.
By far the strongest team here.
Also very strong in T-A.
Many team will be below ag2r this year imo.

Nibali on the descent to Nica is sure bet. Maybe he'll manage to stay away.
Betancur should be able to keep the jersey.
