These flat stages are like watching basketball- if you see the last minute, you've seen the whole thing. Sure, a few guys will try a breakaway, but they almost always get caught, and then the sprinters sprint, and that's that. But tomorrow, the guys gunning for yellow will have a TT, and after all the chaos this year we can finally get an idea of who might take it. I would put my money on George or Floyd right now, or at least I hope so. That is all...

I'm gonna go with Zabriskie to win, and Floyd to take the yellow.
