The usual procession into Paris (traditionally no one attacks the Yellow jersey) but there will be a break or two and they will get caught. Hopefully, crashes will be avoided and Eisel leading out Brad to lead out EBH to lead out Cav to win the stage will be another demonstration by a team that have dominated the whole show.

Greipel and Lotto will try to upset things; I don't think Sagan or Goss have the pace or condition to bother the top two. Odds for Cav will not be attractive but one of the biggest certs of TdF.

nothing is certain in a mass sprint if you get a pile up

True, but Champs Elysee is wide (didn't stop Abdoujaparov though!). I guess that's why he is 4/6 not 1/3!!

Ah, the Tashkent terror, thems were the days, total balls out racing.  But still think prefer the Wiggo procession.

Have enjoyed reading the informative discussions of you lot, ta

I'm all in on Cav.

Let's hope Sky ride for him ffs. He still hasn't had a proper lead out yet. He basically did it all himself the other day

One to watch and enjoy today...if I end up lumping on Cav then the golf really will be going badly! Would love to see Wiggins lead him out and Cav did look impressive on Friday.

Cav to win and Greipel top 3 for me. As long as Sky don't go too early, can't see Cav getting beat here. The last couple of bends will be crucial.

Is Phil playing on betfair whilst commentating? Calling it a nail biter when on any other stage he'd be saying it would all come together for the sprint.

Brilliant lead out by Wiggins allowing Cav to put it to bed early though Sagan will be a threat in the Olympics as he flew home.
Report ClayDavis July 22, 2012 5:04 PM BST
Remember add Millar to the lead out in the Olympics. Some lead out train Froome, Millar and Wiggo

I thought he gone far too early but it was easy in the end.

When hes on top form no one can sit in his wheel when he hits the turbo doesnt matter if he goes early as they are also stood hanging in the wind.
Awesome sprinting yet again

Cav looks to be peaking at the right time, making something of a mockery of those writing him off in the second week of the tour.

Olympic road race should be a good watch as they'll have to be constant attacks on the British team,

Britain will no doubt have to do the donkey work bringing it back with teams like Australia doing nothing until the last km.
