I am not even going to try and pretend I know alot about cycling. hence why I am reaching out to any people who do know their stuff to put up their tips and any reasoning for today's stage!

For what it is worth i think Hagen has a great chance today, he has a great team in front to pull him up the main hill and should be able to kick on from there and produce an UN-assailable gap. Grin

Good luck everyone!

why thor? any reasoning behind the pick?

Stage winner on this tour, today should favour a breakaway and if Thor is in it he will be well placed to win it. I think Flecha is worth a punt as well.

ive heard good things about you red and white.. im on it!

Gilbert for me. It's raining heavily today; should favour him!
Report red and white July 19, 2011 1:26 PM BST
All depends on who can get away in the break. Would be great to see Flecha give the arrow gesture today, with the two 'bowstring' fingers aimed at the lunatic who knocked him over.

Have got Ignatyev at decent long odds...but he'll have to go some to get away from Thor & EBH in the escape...but very handy in small breakaways.
Report Herbie Peanut July 19, 2011 3:19 PM BST
Is Ignatiev the same guy as Ignatyev in the betting?
Report Herbie Peanut July 19, 2011 3:20 PM BST
One of them is 11.5 and the other 13 in the betting not sure which is which actually
Report Inter Ya Nan July 19, 2011 3:28 PM BST
I think Mikhail Ignatyev is the correct spelling and the other one is in by mistake.  They're possibly likely to remove one at the end no doubt and void bets on the incorrect runner.
Report Inter Ya Nan July 19, 2011 3:45 PM BST
Or settle both accordingly as the prices are fair for his position...who knows.
Report Flying_V July 19, 2011 3:46 PM BST
Ignatyev correct spelling...but doesn't matter either way now.

Congrats to Thor..& Thor backers. Caught EBH sleeping....

Edvald "Boassman" Hagen is young and fairly inexperienced in big races, so you would expect him to do a few things wrong at this fairly early stage of his career. It's still not even clear what kind of rider he wants to be, but one thing is clear, he is one to watch closely to build on his first stage in the Tour this year, in subsequent events.

Another breakaway stage victory for Thor, amazing, and another great pick which red and white picked-up on. I think it's one thing to tip a rider for a stage like brojkovic did, another thing all together different to support one's selection with theory. I think it's what gives credibility to a person's authority, and for that reason it's clear to me that red and white is the one worthy of our applause. Congratulations, mate.

Cheers,
SP

I really like the way Cadel and Thor have presented the rainbow jersey after many riders in previous year created a curse on it
