I wonder how that noted descender, Frank Schleck, will handle this.

Valverde goes fast downhill. If he were in better form, I'd tip him. I reckon another break goes and stays away. Caisse will try to put LL Sanchez in it, perhaps.

What is the weather supposed to be like? Rain on the final downhill could be interesting.

I googled the Tdf weather forecast and it showed sunny weather for Tuesday's stage.

If the GC men/teams really start going for this from the start then there will be a number of people more worried than usual about not making the time limit. I always think these shorter stages are harder from this point of view as on a long stage they dont normally start racing on the first climb(s)
