Which stage will Chris Froome give Richie Porte as a gift?

[Shardi]

If froome breaks the opposition on le twice d'huez, and nothing major happens at bornand, then the rest of them guys in the run for podium might just watch eachother and porte may slip away for the MTF.

Mostly it depends on Porte tho, and whether he is spent on the previous two alp stages, or not.

He will try to give Porte Le Grand Bornand like Armstrong to Landis in 2004. But somebody else will escape after which Froome comes up with. Ridiculous sprint in the last 200 metres where he takes back 100 metres on Kloden

Contador might gift Alpe d'Huez to Porte for his services at the Giro 2011. I'm seeing it already, Tiralongo style.

I think they'll try on st20, it won't work as porte won't be able to hold Froome while riding away from everyone else, so Froome will ride off and win alone anyway.

Gifting a stage is so condescending – why would a rider accept it?
On the subject of Porte I don't see him as a real TdF contender. He's 28 and he will be helping someone else at Sky for the next couple of years. If he saw himself as a GC winner I'd say he'd have taken another career option.
