I'm definitely not an expert in this field, but this stage looks tailored for Di Luca.

I see either a sprint finish, or a breakaway.

Stage 20 on the other hand...

I think it will be a Sprint

There will be a breakaway, but no idea if it will survive or not. Every stage thus far has had one. I don't expect this one to be any different.

If a breakaway succeeds in a stage like this, it's because nobody that is worried about the GC needs to chase. Otherwise there is no way to stay away.

Will LPR work AGAIN to bring back any break for Petacchi? I think it will be a breakaway stage and who to take a stage like this than Jens Voigt. Saxo Bank needs a stage win.
