With the first individual time trial behind us and a dominant showing by the favorite Chris Froome, I think its safe to say he is going to fight for the yellow all the way to Paris. Finishing 2nd by only 12 seconds to Tony Martin (World Time Trial Champion) and putting at least 2min extra into the time gap to his closest rivals has sent out a clear message, Chris Froome is on form.
Today's stage 12 is a flat one, and once again the sprinter's teams will most likely be at the head of affairs controlling the race to set it up for their sprinters. Marcel Kittel has taken 2 stage victories in the tour thus far, while Cavendish, Greipel, and Sagan each only have one stage. One thing is certain, they all want more stages. Hopefully today we will see a good clean and super fast race to the line so that the fastest guy wins!!
Favorite for today - Cavendish
Outside favorites - Kittel, Greipel, Sagan
