| Stage 6 continues west to Montpellier |
Stage 6 from Aix-En-Provence
to Montpellier should be another one for the sprinters. A mostly flat stage
with only one categorized climb, and it is a cat-4, and it comes with over 100k
left to ride. At 176 kilometers in length stage 6 should be an average day with
a bunch sprint finish.
I am going with Cavendish
tomorrow. His lead-out train was impressive today, and he is certainly a top
favorite for stage 6. With four of my first five picks coming in second, I am
hoping to break the pattern. Temperatures are expected to be in the high 80’s (around
30 c) for Thursday’s stage 6, so keeping hydrated and preventing overheating
will be important.

I will do the best I can to
post regularly over the July 4 holiday. Fortunately stage 7 looks like another
sprint, but stage 8 to Ax 3 Domaines is when the real fun begins!
