[Descender]

Should be a sprinters stage.

Another profile:

to me it looks like this is for alejandro

The last two winners of this stage: Cavendish and Petacchi.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Guardini will shine here, unless Sir Wiggo and Co decides to go full power earlier in the race.

 

[GP Blanco]

I would pick Guardini if it is really only one percent.

 

[SafeBet]

Yeah Guardini should nail this.

 

[Lexman]

Skyborgs to TTT between km 90 - 120 and then OPQS for Meersman again.

VDB once again not ready just as Fuglsang, Hesjedal etc... losing all 1,5 minute

Gesink to lose 3 minutes by a puncture when Sky sets out it TTT practice...

 

[manafana]

Guardini saved his powder today be very suprised if hes not in top 3 at least im calling it Guardini, fenn, simon

 

[wirral]

Meersman or Fenn, who will Omega Pharma put up in the sprint?

Meersman or Fenn, who will Omega Pharma put up in the sprint?

For a bunchsprint they will use Fenn.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Samuel Dumoulin.... not a lot of sprinters there to contest, Guardini will be lost somewhere on the road up to Baynoles

 

[HiCadence]

Since it was a break yesterday i'm going for Fenn again today.

Since it was a break yesterday i'm going for Fenn again today.

Tell me, apart from Mallorca last year, what has Fenn really shown in sprints?

 

[HiCadence]

You telling me he doesn't have a chance of taking the stage given the level of sprinters we have here and the profile of the last kilometer?

 

[theyoungest]

You telling me he doesn't have a chance of taking the stage given the level of sprinters we have here and the profile of the last kilometer?

Of course he has a chance. But there's about 5 guys at his level, if not more.

 

[HiCadence]

He hasn't shown anything since then i agree but It's always hard to say who will win a sprint for certain or as an overwhelming favourite but i think he will be up there probably be Guardini in all honesty but i'd like to see Fenn up there contesting.

 

[greenedge]

I will go Guardini- though his team is not that sprinting- wise strong.

 

[Winterfold]

Dumoulin

[wirral]

Fenn, it is. Unless he is relegated to Meersman lead-out.

 

[Pharazon]

Horner and Hansen DNS

So 700m @ 4% coming off a 300 degree roundabout, too hard for Guardini
