Thor Hushovd!

I wouldn't have picked that one. This stage counts for the green jersey like any other, but the placement points don't go down as far as a sprint finish, so you'd better be sure you can do well before spending effort on it.

This should be interesting.

He's going to have a hell of a time in the mountains- I'm expecting him to ride onto the Champs Elyses having defended his green jersey, but certainly not wearing the coveted Maillot Jeune.
George Hincapie perhaps? With Ulrich, Vinakourov, et al suddenly Doing Other Things this year, it's going to be an interesting tour.

Personally, I'm rooting for Valverde in the GC.

Particularly interesting for me will be seeing how things pan out for Lance's former teammates.
BTW this was an interesting article on the photojournalism aspect of the tour. (http://www.apple.com/pro/profiles/watson/)
