Salies-de-Béarn to Bordeaux, 190 km
It would be a massive surprise if the sprinters allow this one to get away. The day's break may as well be on a fishing line. The pan-flat countryside of Les Landes into Bordeaux host the Tour for the 80th time. It's the race's most visited location outside Paris and has a long reputation for epic bunch sprints. Well known for its wine, the long, straight finish on the Quinconces quayside is also well known for a mass finish. The overall contenders will want to stay out of trouble and save energy with tomorrow's time trial in mind.
Who has the legs to finish off. The green jersey battle has been epic thus far, only a few points between Hushovd and Petacchi. Cav was strongest last year out of the hills, look for him to prove a point without Renshaw leading him out.
