Stage 10 preview

The racing resumes tomorrow on very flat roads featuring only 3 cat 4 climbs early in the day. Look for the French riders to be very aggressive, looking for a stage win on Bastille Day. But I expect the efforts of the frenchmen to be in vain despite their recent breakaway success. The sprinters will have no more of that after having to play 2nd fiddle over the weekend in the mountains. Look for Mark Cavendish to awaken from his slumber through the Pyrenees and grab a stage win tomorrow and maybe reclaim, Green. The big Columbia Leadout train will try to put Cavendish in position but Hushovd, Frierie, and Farrar will be looking to come off his wheel for the W. Im picking The man from the Isle of Man (cavendish) but am still waiting for Farrar to bring home a surprise sprint Win for the states, and what better day to do it than on Bastille Day.
