I really hope you're right about Vino and he is faking it to some degree. Time will tell. He can't go balls out, if he uses himself up so early in the tour he will for sure lose. He needs a good time, but he doesnt need a stage win.

If chicken is in the lead group with 3-5k to the summit, he'll take a couple of minutes before the top and win

I dispute the "boring" part of your prediction though.

excellent word choice.

To all of you that attacked me for this. When can I expect my apology?

I still maintain the GC guys couldn't go any faster on stage 8, except for those that didn't want to help Moreau.
