Wow, what an exciting and unpredictable tour it has been up until now. Some of the favorites are way down on General Classification (GC), others have shifted their focus from GC to King of the Mountains.
All I can say is: Bring on the next 2 weeks! Today's stage is for the sprinters, for the GC riders its like an "active rest day" to get the legs firing. With so few days that have been available for the sprinters, you can be sure that the sprinter's teams are going to take control of the stage and try to set it up for the fast men.
If the peloton is still tired from the efforts of Stage 8 and Stage 9, then we could see a scenario where a select group of riders go on the attack and the peloton let them go without any effort to chase. The peloton might just cruise through the stage. Chances are slim that this would happen though, but it has happened before.
Okay so my favorite for today's stage is - Mark Cavendish
Outside favorites - Matt Goss, Andre Greipel, Roberto Ferarri
