Me neither. Strange.
Some strong riders in that break but not a single threat on GC is there?

Thoughtforfood said:You'd hope that something would happen, but any attack by anyone would have to be viewed as desperate because the organizers have castrated the stage. I was hoping someone would blow up part of the descent of the Tourmalet and they would have to short the stage. THis is just a STUPID stage.

plajbcyg said:Its the Astana hold of the TdF that reminds me of the bad old days of US Postal/ Discovery. It makes the racing less interesting and too controlled.

Thoughtforfood said:They probably will, but not too seriously because they will get caught. The only logical tactic that would see a contender gain time by the end of the stage would be to put some serious pain down on the Aspen, whittle down the front to 10-20 riders, hammer the descent and then someone go from fairly low on the Tourmalet and gain a lot of time. Problem is that would eliminate 3/4ths of the peloton on time and nobody is willing to hammer off their riders that early.
