[bigloco]

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

wind and rain might change that

 

[JesusManzano]

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

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..

 

[The Hitch]

i cant look past cavendish. really hope he doesnt win but its the tdf and like armstrong he peaks for this, even if he doesnt perform earlier (which this season he hasnt)

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?

cav or tyler

 

[roundabout]

Edit: oops found it, no echelons tomorrow. zzzzzzzzz

Matthias Frank wont start the stage. BMC already down by one.

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.

 

[mowie133]

might be worth watching..sounds like the wind isn't going to be up sadly,but will be fun to see who chases the break away..can't see saxo doing alot of it

It must be the same sky weatherman who recommended Wiggins to start early today.

Pettachi for the win! I think he is going to have a great tour and I find him entertaining to watch! II don 't know why but I just like him.

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