2009 Tour de France - Stage 12

Stage 12 - Tonnerre to Vittel - 211.5 km



Fairly Flat stage with a few small climbs and a slight uphill to finish, might test the sprinters but it might take more that this to test Cavendish & Columbia - HTC.



Climbs

Km 19.0 - Côte de Baon - 2.2 km climb to 4.2 % - Category 4
Km 55.0 - Côte de Gye-sur-Seine - 2.4 km climb to 4.4 % - Category 4
Km 64.5 - Côte d'Essoyes - 2.2 km climb to 5 % - Category 4
Km 150.0 - Côte des Grands-Bois - 2.3 km climb to 5 % - Category 4
Km 156.5 - Côte de Morlaix - 2.1 km climb to 4.2 % - Category 4
Km 170.5 - Côte de Bourmont - 0.8 km climb to 11.1 % - Category 3

It might be that a breakaway tries to seize its opportunity here, could be that Columbia HTC are in the winning habit and will be delivering Cavendish stage win number 5 for 2009.

I'm betting the latter.

Betting
$2.50 to find out if it is a sprinters stage, that's Cavs price, so we will double the bet here.

Save on Tyler Farrar for top 3 at $4.
