And caisse to pull back every break away that has charteu in it until he gives up.

60km of chaseing every break away??? can't see that happening...why does charteu even have to get in a break??? if 7 go away in a break he is safe.

Not sure who exactly, but a ****load of climbers will try to get away, seeing as it is their last chance for a stage victory. After this stage, it's pan flat from here to Paris.

Moreau, Charteau, Pineau, Vino, Armstrong, Gil, Popovych, Voigt, Garate, Sastre

Just Wondering, why do people think Vino will go in the break tomorrow? He's 9th overall, has a GC contender to look after, and already got his stage win. What would be the purpose?

If AS attacks and Contador is in difficulty, Vino would be in a position to help. Vino's not going to be able to do much if he's in the group with Contador when AS attacks. I may be wrong. Vino certainly responded quickly when Schleck attacked...

In the break:

Plaza
Chartreau
Moreau
Ballan
Verdugo
Lloyd
Elmiger
Faria
Gustov

Stage win by Lloyd. Very good climber who cashes in on the long range attack.

No way Radioshack will let three Cassie riders guy without sending atleast one or two of their own.

Yes, I should have noticed. Perhaps Kloeden and Paulinho make it. Surely RS would get one or two in the formation.

Also, a marquee name like Sastre or Evans could also be there to drive things.

it could make sense if the break is strong enough and gets ~5 minutes early in the stage. Then Vino would become a thread for Saxo/Rabobank/Lotto and they would have to work and blow their domestiques early in the race.
