Least interesting stage to me on paper, so hopefully something happens other than yet another long break caught in the last 2km.
Had either Froome or Valverde ended up in yellow after yesterday, it may have forced their teams to break the wind out front and tire them a little, but BMC is stuck with that. Perhaps until Saturday.

The only one I had heard of before googling was Over Drive, not sure if any of them are decent.

Re:
Well, I can't seem to load the page correctly, as my Internet is currently struggling with everything, but this might work (can't test it myself, though):
If you're in Chrome:
- Right-click the object you want to hide;
- Select "Inspect" from the drop-down menu;
- A developer screen should open, search for the "styles" screen/tab;
- Click somewhere in "element.style", you should be able to type something
- Type "visibility: hidden" without the quotes;
- The object should now be hidden.
- Close the developer part on screen by clicking the "x" (on that screen! not the window or tab)
In firefox:
- Right-click the object you want to hide;
- Select "Inspect Object" from the drop-down menu
- You should get a developer screen again; with a tab called "Rules";
- Click somewhere between "Element {" and the next "}" (should be on top in the tab)
- Now you can type, type "visibility: hidden;" without the quotes;
- The object should now be hidden;
- Close the developer part on the screen by clicking the "x".
The changes are not permanent, reloading the screen will make the objects appear again. So, if you make a mistake, just reload the screen. It also means you have to redo it everytime you reopen the website.

Perhaps he's showing his new team next season that he still has the legs to sprint

Re: Re:
Sure, however, it's going to be incomplete as I'm still at work. If you want to extend it, just look at the results of the sprint stages and look for big names that haven't won yet.
- The biggest name is, of course, Greipel; his team alone will threaten any break-away
- Another one is Coquard, as he came ever so close to a victory and has scored three top 10s;
- Groenewegen wants another chance as well;
- Kristoff.
There are other names, but most of them have teams that are built for another purpose, such as Theuns (Trek).

It looks like Richeze is now the last man for Kittel. If he really is, then game over for every other sprinter.

Thanks Willem and Pavels. I'm going to study the start list to try to remember who is on what team. The TV commentators in my opinion do a very poor job at going into detail on this sometimes. Understanding the details of who is on what team and why each team will want to sit back or work etc goes a long way to making the race engaging and fun to watch. The sprinter battle has been exciting this year. I got into cycling when a given sprinter would be dominating a given grand tour, (Cipolinni, Petacchi, etc) so sprints were a lot more predictable than now.

Re:
It sure does.
What helps is reading race previews, both of the entire TdF and of individual stages. It'll give you information on the teams, their composition, and their apparent targets. CyclingNews has a couple of arguments and this forum has a lot of threads focused on races, race previews, the GC, the sprinters, &c.
