Who do you think will win the stage?
Some locals who live around tanunda have said that some crosswinds will be a factor and were blowing across the road yesterday.

Just thought I would make an interesting point that Andre Griepel has tipped Valverde to win the Overall.

I think there will be a pretty decisive split, and i think it will be the sky columbia boys doing it..

Two team race by the end of the day..

If there is a split, Garmin will contribute too. Caisse will be alert as they would want the overall win.

Rojas is my tip overall.

I'm tipping greipel to win with the Australian Sky squad faltering big time showing the Sky squad who's boss in the lead outs.:)

I think some teams like Astana and Radioshack are going to try to split the race apart on Menglers Hill as well, to drop some of the sprinters.

what are you whittering about.. theres 3 brits in the squad, 2 aussies, a kiwi and a frenchman...

I do worry about you sometimes.. so you a sky fan now..? talk about jumping on the bandwagon.. did i claim to have australian grandparents when cadel won the world championship.. NO.. so leave us to have our own team and you have yours.. :p

I actually think its in all the teams intrests to put the hammer down today and try and disturb the columbia momentum, greipel clearly is the big target, so attack columbia from the outset..

we also claim Kiwis as ours:). Definelty not on the sky band wagon. kust making the point of how many aussie riders and staff you have. I thought you would find that annoying

I do agree that their will be some exciting racing. All starts in less than 2 and a half hours.

Guess who has n.o 2 spot in the convoy of cars. Radioshack.:rolleyes:

This is Mike Tomalaris' tips for today. I predicted the motives behind it.

1. Rojas (strong sprinter, who can climb, is on valverde's team)
2. Steegmans(on lance's team, because lance will drive on the front for him for 140.8km out of 141km and bruyneel is so smart.)
3. Sulzberger (because he is aussie though the stupid thing is that FDj is riding for hutoravich)

Plus the old ba*tard who stumped up the cash.
I think Sky and see his mug.
Don't get this football fan supporter ideology.
I just like the sport.

I predict that a rider from Euskatel Euskadi and one from Footon will also be in the day's break.
