Anyone expecting something from him this TdF - riding in the French colours?
Which stages do you reckon we might see him attack?

    His formula last year was to attack on the lumpier stages but not the really mountainous ones. I think this reflects that breaks on these days have a better chance of staying away and also that its better terrain for him. The first week doesnt offer that so i think he will be waiting for Saturday's stage. If Evans gets yellow today then BMC might decide on that day that they have had enough of defending the jersey and let the break take it, hoping that a better rested team will increase the chances of Evans taking it back later on. Other than that i imagine he will be looking at the days afterwards.

    Stage 9 (Issoire>Saint-Flour) has his name on it I reckon. Lumpy all day long but no major mountains.

    With my current PTP form you'd be better off picking Cav for this stage :lol:
