Are the sprinters going to get back to racing today, or are they having another day off?
I can't see anything but a bunch sprint today................but then I thought that yesterday :roll:0 -
I think Boonen is saving himself for Sunday, so I am going for a break today.
I have a 100% record of being wrong so far this tour though

It would be great if this break stayed away and Axel could win the stage seeing as he is retiring on Sunday.<a><img></a>0

Woah, David Harmon has just said JM Soler looks like Champion from Belleville Rendezvous, and you know what? HE DOES! Weird.0

Spooky.0 -
Its uncanny.

Do you get the feeling the peloton are giving Axel and the Boogeyman a retirement gift and letting the breakaway have its head?It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0

They are definately gonna stay away. The lead is 17mins. I think Boogeyman has been awesome the last 2 weeks, he definately deserves "something" from this tour, but then I would Axel to win too.
I think they should go over the line together hand in hand blowing kisses at each other. 0 -
It's a hard choice between Axel and Boogerd, but I think I'd like Axel to take the win.0

Casar put in a good sprint on stage 10 and just missed out. He might spoil the retirement party.0

Anyone hear David Harmon's Mexican wave comment?
