Astana and, especially, Katusha surprizes today with exceptional efforts.

Another sprinter's day tomorrow, pancake with some lumpy bit after 175kms.

The lumpy bits can create an opportunity for a puncheur or few to attack and gain some time over the bunch.

 

Sprinters' teams, beware of men like Hushovd...
