Small bunch sprint. They won't ride the Cat 1 hard.

I see HTC keeping the break within 3 minutes at the start of the climb, then riding tempo to ensure Renshaw and Howard get over the top. Then one of them will win from a small group.

The sprinters will be ****ed if they don't have one stage where they can go for a win.

meh I can't see the sprinters holding on, maybe getting abck on after the climb, but htc would have to go pretty slow tempo to keep their sprinters there.

Movistar have a good shot at getting someone away from a smallish bunch at the end, should have plenty of cards to play in the final.

Hope so, but that will be a surprise.

I'm guessing you're Portuguese. Parrulo is also Portuguese (he just likes Belgium a lot, hence the Belgian flag as his avatar and the Belgian anthem in his signature). He does not think Rui Costa will take this; he's just hoping it. He will not.
