Do you think we will see some action on this first real climb?

Absolutely. Odd that TMO doesn't have a rider in the Tête de course, that's why they're leading the peloton. They're depending on the sprinters in the escape to fade rapidly on the slope...

First big climb coming up! Check out where the GC leaders are in the peloton as they approach the climb, and who of their team is with them. You should see all the GC leaders moving up to the front of the pack in anticipation of the climb.
Hincapie needs to do well on this, and we'll soon see what Gonchar is made of...

9 of the 13 escapees are less than 10' behind the yellow, only 2 are within 5'. Most of these guys should be caught on the climb.
