I don't know... I don't think we'll see climbing attacks today. Tomorrow, yes, but not today. Too long of a run-down into Pau for a climber to care about this stage. For some reason the best climbers don't seem to be the most fearless descenders. I'm betting the break succeeds.
Also, I have a hard time understanding why a 10 mile long 7.3% grade is rated HC...

Agreed, iggie, maybe not major attacks, but the GC leaders cannot afford to allow the escape group to maintain a meaningful lead up the mountain due to the 2 long run-downs.

Mayo in trouble.
Looking at todays profile I feared that todays stage was just a bit of a tease before tomorrow.
Unfortunately.
