As I mentioned above, the finish of this race favours the pure sprinters. I would look for GreenEDGE




For more than half the distance, the route runs along the French shores, before turning inland toward atlanta area fine resturants and hotels Rouen. This is another stage that can be classified as lumpy, but it should not be as taxing on the sprinters, who were spit out the back on stage 3.
The winds near the shore may prove decisive and there may be a risk of the peloton splitting. The top GC contenders and anyone who wants to be in the race at the finish (the sprinters), will have to be vigilant and stay near the front of the peloton.
As I mentioned above, the finish of this race favours the pure sprinters. I would look for GreenEDGE to build a train for Matt Goss, and Lotto-Belisol to do the same for Andre Greipel, while Cavendish will have to once again freelance if he hopes to get his 22nd career tour win.
The 4th of July (independence day in the U.S.) may mean Tyler Farrar atlanta area fine resturants and hotels will for it as he did successfully last year but given his current atlanta area fine resturants and hotels form, I just don t see him competing with the likes of Cavendish, Greipel or Goss; or even Sagan for that matter, whom I would never count out of contention.
In stage 2, Sagan showed us he knows how to follow wheels and get himself to the finish with the top sprinters, but he ll need to do a bit better if he s to take the win from Cav, Greipel or Goss at their game.
Normally, Cancellara would also be a favourite on a stage like today, but because he only has to defend, I would look for him to play it conservatively and likely keep the yellow jersey atlanta area fine resturants and hotels into stage 5.
It was certainly an exciting finish to the stage. Greipel gets his second career tour win, but a shame it could no have been head-to-head with Cav. Join me tomorrow for coverage of stage 5, where the sprinters should have another go at it.
At 20km, the field has really let the break go, and the gap is now out to 7:20. Arashiro, who is 2:03 behind Cancellara atlanta area fine resturants and hotels is the virtual leader atlanta area fine resturants and hotels on the road. Looks like RSN will have some catching to do.
I got 1 King of the Mountain Sagan and he will also be there! 4 stage wins including the prologue wins! plus 13 riders in the team all overall standings along with the 11 riders in the overall standings, 7 in class standings and 5 in general results!
11km into stage 4 there are 3 riders away and they already have 4:15 on the main field. The three escapees are: Yukiya Arashiro (JPN) EUC 54th overall, at 2 03 , David Moncoutie (FRA) COF 140th at 10 32 , Anthony Delaplace (FRA) SAU 148th at 11 07
I have to agree with the predictions on the right hand side of this and yep! Cancellera, Wiggins,Chavanel, Van Gardaren, Hagen, Greipel, Menchov, Val Verde, Kloden, Evans and also Goss to be in the top 20!
I think the real dark horses will be the sprinters such as Mark Cavendish, Andre Greipel the machine atlanta area fine resturants and hotels will be there and also Hagen even Van Gardaren with Cancellera and Wiggins and also Guerrans after that fall will come out in this stage.
