are they swimming their bikes across the water or are they using larger volume tires that float?

Praying it will be a windy day with lots of action.
Frank Schleck will crash and Farrar will win ahead of Freire:p

If there is a lot of wind dont bet against sky putting the pressure on to try and make up some of todays losses for brad, or to move ebh/geraint up or into jersey contention

They will of course balls it up dramatically ;)

I actually have a really bad feeling the field will split tommorow and brad will end up in g2..

More realistically, you could simply hope that they do better than in the Giro.

ETA: there's the 38m ascent near the finish. Vino will surely attack?

It will be highlights for me, as I have work tomorrow, I won't bother staying up to the middle of the night for some flat sprint stage.

Well I guess he can use the opportunity to catch up with the Giro team who are reportedly still in Holland.
