Judging by their tweets the Sky duo seems ok,but if Gallopin can recover well i think he still has a chance to hold the jersey.If we add Kwiatkovski and Fuglsang this should be a great battle. Or maybe Rui Costa will crush them all.

Gallopin is the clear favourite for the GC imo. It will take something pretty extraordinary for him not to win I think. Don't be surprised if he's very close to taking the win on the stage too...

You mad? :p Stage win? He's in good form, but not that good.

And considering what happened last time up Eze, Porte can easily do it. I think Tony can hold him off though, it'd be a great achievement if he does.

What? Not a popsicle's chance in hell that Gallopin will be close to beating Porte unless Porte is suffering a lot from his crash.

And Porte looked absolutely fine after his crash - just a bit of road rash. I'll be amazed if Gallopin can hold on to his lead (wouldn't be surprised to see Thomas or Kwiat overtake him as well)

unless something bad happens, i think Gallopin is going to win PN.

i am betting on majka for stage win.

regarding porte, thomas, i am not sure. both of them crashed yesterday, both of them had to work real hard to catch up with kwiato.
kwiato did too much work yesterday, so he too is going to be affected.

There goes Richie, I'd be surprised if he recovers after his bad day (even without the fall) from yesterday...if ihe does, it might be a sign that he's no longer "soft in the head".

And off goes Tony ! Wow, he looks SLOW unless he's pushing a big one ?
