Tour de France Preview Stage 5, July 8th

Today's stage 4 did not surprise with a bunch finish, the surprise was Pettacchi and Julian Dean with their 1, 2 finish along with Dean's Garmin Teamate Robbie Hunter (3rd). I can guarantee that Garmin will let the boys go for it again tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see who gets the leadout in absence of a healing Farrarr.

Stage 5 should be another field sprint, but look for a breakaway to try and stay away from the gun. It is unlikely to work, the peloton is cruel in it's calculated precision to reel the rogues back in, but tell that to Jackie Durand. He never listened to those who said that a breakaway in the Tour won't work on stages like tomorrow.
