I'm thinking a water boy... they're sick and tired of playing second fiddle to TMob's group of misfits. Who do they have that's good on breakaways?

If it is rainy tomorrow, which it may be - then it's time for a break to succeed. Perhaps one of those three that you mention, gcastillo

Maybe, out of respect for the people of London, they will neutralize the stage.

While it won't be the most interesting stage and the weather will be horrible... I will be there at the end tomorrow cheering all of the racers on. The american boys in general, but I'm all for everybody having a good safe race. I am in Munich right now so I have to take a train to Karlsruhe in the morning. I would rather see a mountain stage, but other previous arrangements make those wishes impossible.
Maybe I will get lucky and one of the riders will be in the back of the pack and still happen to have a water bottle to toss into the crowd. I want to see the end because I figure it will be the most exciting to see a good sprint, but the quality of being towards the middle of the stage would be the better chance of getting hit by some tour souvenirs.

If Vino breaks, I am sure disco will try and catch him back... I think tomorrow is a day from an attack from a fringe team...Dekker maybe??

I'm so stoked about this stage, I can't fall asleep. It is anybody's for the taking, but I think Rich will seize the day for Deutschland. Er will Stadium sieben winnen.

Well, don't you think Vino would have won stage six if it wasn't for the fall of Mengin? Nothing Discovery could have done about that. Perhaps he will be able to do something smilar today...? And if not, what about one of the austrian guys?

Wegmann may have eight minutes now, but will that be enough? you know: .....When a stage of the Tour was last contested on German soil, the winner was Salvatore Commesso..... (www.letour.fr)
