Stage 16 Attack?

[Juan Parra]

Do you see Vino, the Euskatel guys or even Ulrich attacking in this stage? Or the stage profile is
not challenging enough for team to break away?

Ullrich will not attack tomorrow. He'll be chased down. Same with Vino. As for the EE boys,
I doubt it.

The stage profile is perfect for a small group of "stage hunters" to launch an attack from the
climbs. It might even include Virenque, although his motivation for KOM points is gone having enough
points to absolutely guarantee victory.
