This is gonna be good. I'm putting on the alarm and starting the coffee early!
Van Den Broeck and Menchov are threats, but they will be without team support. Pierre Rolland has been making waves in the hills, it could be his time. I think he'll come out firing.
We might also see some attacks from Basso or Klöden who have the ability to go because of their team make up. Klöden rides with Chris Horner who is 40, but can climb very well might be looking for his swan song.
Basso rides with F. Nibali who has shown he can duel with anyone in the climbs. I expect one of these pairs to cause some commotion. Basso and Nibali just might show up with their young sprinter Peter Sagan, too.
But that SKY Army will be marching strong to bring their leader home.
