Sylvain Chavanel @ $14/$4.25 - This guy wanted a win yesterday - he didn't get it. He will go for it again today.
Thomas Voeckler @ $18/$6 - If Chavanel is in a break - so will Voeckler. These 2 will battle the KOM.
Fabian Wegmann @ $26/$8 - should be in the break
Juan Antonio Flecha @ $26/$8 - should try it.
Kanstantsin Siutsou @ $151/$41 - Columbia may put him in a break so the onus is on other teams to chase down.
i really dont think chavanel was going for the win, just KOM. he got it and will try to keep it. i dont see him being in another breakway. it is very very rare to see a guy do it 2 days in a row. like flecha and wegmann plays. sooner or later you know those guys will try to get in a break.

Yep, as I have plenty of money and am up so far, I currently put $30 on for the win for Flecha @ $26 and $50 on the place @ $8
A breakaway should succeed today and I would be surprised if Flecha doesn't make it into the break!

A breakaway may survive, but the GC contenders will arrive together as mentioned above.
On the final climb or the one before, I see Cunego and CSC and possibly some Euskatel Riders attacking. Zubeldia or Sanchez might be the ones to attack on the final. Sanchez is my early tip for the stage.
It will be interesting to see if any rider from the major teams (Columbia, CSC, Euskatel, Caisse, Lotto) put someone into the break or will they wait till tomorrow? Either way, its going to be a good stage and I reckon people should attack Evans.
Samuel Sanchez E/W $7/$2.20 - Time for Euskatel boys to do something
David Arroyo E/W $51/$11 - may try a break
Leonardo Piepoli E/W $13/$3.30 - may try a break
Devolder over Valjavec @ $1.85
Zubeldia over Popovych @ $1.70 - Popovych will be working for Evans, so he will drop off.

dont like zulbeldia's and cunego's form so far. they got hammered on stage 6 and there was no reason for them to hold back. they may be in a break though, because they know they can't ride with the big boys.
like sanchez tomorrow.
popo is struggling. like that pick.
good luck bolar.

That Category one climb, even though it's about 57km from the finish is going to be too much for the sprinters to regroup, especially with a cat 3 22km from the finish.
So a break today! The question is who?
BTW, I found the TAB have generous prices for the win, so the win is the tab price and the podium is the sportingbet price. The figure in the bracket is what sportingbet have.
Small stakes
David Millar E/W $41/$8 ($26) David Moncoutie E/W $81/$10 ($31) Jerome Pineau E/W $41/$12 ($36) Mark Cavendish E/W $67/$6.50 ($21) Thomas Voekler E/W $67/$14 ($41)
Look at those variations.
Outright win as I couldn't be arsed ringing and quoting odds for the guys not listed.
Small stakes again.
Juan Antonio Flecha $41 Nicolas Jalabert $151 Egoi Martinez $126 David Arroyo $101 Cyril Dessel $51
That should keep me entertained.
Good luck!

The day after a rest day and the day before 60km of climbing including the final climb up alp d'huez tells me that there will be a successful breakaway.
David Moncoutie E/W $101/$17 Kanstantsin Siutsou E/W $811/$21 Luis Leon Sanchez E/W $41/$6.50 Kim Kirchen E/W $34/$5
Kirchen over Cunego @ $1.65 Sastre over Kohl @ $2.08
Moncoutie may try a breakaway today.
I'm pretty sure that Columbia will have agressive tactics today and send someone in the breakaway and if the breakaway is caught, then push Kirchen up. Kirchen 2 minutes behind 6th place and 2 minutes 49 behind the yellow jersey needs an attack if he is to get his top 5 he wanted at the start of the tour. He's cracked before and these other riders havn't cracked yet. The day after a rest day will suit Kirchen. He needs to attack on the last climb and then make a dare devil descent to try and peg back 30 odd seconds. The more the better. Siutsou may be the man in the breakaway. This stage will also suit LLS and I think Sanchez may try again like he did earlier in the race.

Menchov over Kohl @ $1.93 Kreuziger over Vande Velde @ $2.18 F Schleck over Evans @ $1.68 Valverde over Sanchez @ $1.60
Menchov E/W $7.50/$2.25 Valverde E/W $17/$3.35 S Sanchez E/W $34/$7 Astroloza E/W $67/$16 Kreuziger E/W $67/$9.50 Luis Leon Sanchez E/W $81/$12 Kirchen E/W $51/$12
Valverde has always been my tip for this from way before the start of the tour regardless of form. Menchov will attack tomorrow. Euskatel want a stage win so Astroloza and Sanchez are the main men for that. Luis Leon Sanchez might make a break. He did nothing today so he might be gunning for this stage with team mate Valverde. Krueziger is an interesting choice. Kohl and the Schleck's need to blow up soon and it should be tonight. The body can't keep this up any longer surely. If they do blow up, then it plays into The Euskatel riders hands and also Valverde and Kirchen who both have blown up already who should have enough gas to outlast the others who should blow up today.

really disagree with your kreuziger pick, see my post.
dont see any sign of cracking from f schleck either. like the valverde pick but not enough to pay that juice. i think the climb is too steep for valverde to win it. look for menchov or sastre to take this, although f schleck has won this climb before.
now that i think about it, kreuziger could get in a break in order to try to win the white jersey. that will really screw me, although i think the gc contenders should still pull back anyone who gets away on this vicious day.
we'll see.

Chavannel E/W $18/$6 Ballan E/W $23/$7 Flecha E/W $23/$7 Hincapie to win @ $41 Martinez to win @ $201
Ballan over Duque @ $2.22
Chavanel is hunting a stage win. Ballan is hunting a stage win. Flecha hasn't been in a break because he's been helping Menchov. He tries today. Hincapie will be in there. Euskatel want a win so Martinez is my tip to be in there too.
That will keep me interested.
Russian Mother Fucker.
Today short and sweet.

Oh ffs. I get a break situation right today. Can't keep having this bad luck. Not losing much money so that's okay, but it's frustrating nonetheless.
I don't think it will be a bunch sprint today. Columbia won't work today as Kirchen will fancy himself of either:
a) A rest and an assualt to crawl up a couple of places tomorrow
b) a breakaway chance to get some points to come second or third in the points competition.
I favour the first as he is no chance of the points competition. So that leaves Credit Agricole and Milram to chase down a break.
Ballan is targetting a stage win and so is Chavanel. Ballan's terrain is better today as is Chavanel compared to yesterday. Quick-Step are still looking for a win as is Euskatel. Ruben Perez might try a break today for Euskatel - he hasn't ever won a race so today he might fancy himself.
We still havn't seen Flecha in a break and Voigt is a chance to venture across to a break today. Throw in Millar too. Gilbert also.
As with Columbia, I'm using the process of elimination. They will fancy Ciolek in Paris. Hincapie has tried a break and Siutsou, Burghardt and Lovkvist both have. That leaves Hansen and Eisel as men who could make a break today to get a 6th win. Possibility to try one today.
I think Ballan, Chavanel, Voeckler all make the break today with possibilities of Eisel, Hansen, Millar, Gilbert, Voigt, Flecha. A barloworld rider might try a break today too. If these riders take the break, then you fancy either Eisel or Ballan.
However, Columbia have come with 2 sprinters and may want to use Ciolek today so a break may get chased down but if it does, I see Zabel or Hushovd taking the stage win.
So to cover my arse in a bunch sprint as Hushovd is wanting the green jersey.
