McEwan can do it but I think he will save it for the last stage he is getting stronger moving up every time.

He needs a good win to get his confidence up but note he dose not need the lead out train he is cheeky enough to use anyone who will get him there.

Valverde might be able to do something. Would shake things up for sure.

especially being in Australia...

each time LA has been in a leadout, he has screwed it up and forced Radioshack backwards.

Wyss not happy with browns sprint, swerved acroos the road and i think he has a point.

question:
Unless you're in Australia- there is no way to get live "video broadcasting" at all?
about today's stage:
Someone apart from Greipel will win :)

even if you are in australia there is no video...
radio only.. :(

The optimist in me wants to stick with Henderson for the win... the realist says that Greipel (barring a crash) is unstoppable.

It's an uphill sprint, though. If Greipel wins here, then he's in the form of his life.

I believe that Greipel will lose some time today, he's too heavy to stay with the more punchy riders for a hilly finish. They go up the hill 3 times and it is a very undulating. Gripel will have to be climbing well if he wants to make the finish, even so i don't think he will win the sprint.

38oC today, it is going to be really tough...

wyss was trying to go in between mcewen and brown and then he came acroos and pushed him into davis. Wyss was already boxed in but brown pushed him across the road. i'll send you the link for the sprint.
handorf stage finish watch from 5mins and watch how brown pushes across stopping Wyss come through. He also cuts him earlier in the sprint but it is hard to see through the trees.
