Chambéry to Gap, 179 KM
Everyone will be hurting after yesterday - so expect a breakaway to succeed. Added to this is that fact that it is Bastille day. Expect a French led breakaway to succeed! This is the last alpine stage, taking riders over only three categorized climbs with the most difficult, the Cat. 1 Cote de Laffrey, falling just 77km into the stage, it is only 7mks long but fairly steep at an average 9%.
My money for this one? French - Cavanel has proved his is on great form with 2 wins already and i would say that the dynamic duo from BBox - Thomas Voeckler and Pierrick Fedrigo - both past stage winners - have been waiting for this one, they will be out early looking to scamper up the Cat 1 climb and stay away all day.
