Tour de France Stage 10 Preview

 Thomas Voeckler takes the maillot jaune to lunch.

The peloton continues to head south, ending tomorrows stage in Carmaux. A couple of 'bumps' aong the way in the form of  some lower categorized climbs that shouldn't have much of an impact on what should be a sprint finish. I'm actually going to go against my better judgement and say that Tyler Farrar will out sprint Mark Cavendish tomorrow for his second win of this Tour. Nah...Cavendish wins. That didn't last long.

Other things we can watch for or count on for tomorrow's stage.
  • French TV will not be driving anywhere near the peloton after getting kicked out of the race by the organizers of the the Tour, the ASO.
  • Thomas Voeckler will still be wearing yellow at the end of the day.
  • The Schleck brothers, Cadel Evans, and Alberto Contador will finish crosseyed after watching each  other for yet another day.
  • 14 of the 18 riders who have abandoned the race are due to injuries suffered in crashes. Yikes
  • Johan Bruyneel will do something, anything to make the UCI mad or fine him.
  • Jeremy Roy or Sandy Casar will try to get into a breakaway.
  • Thor Hushovd will find the first finish-line reporter he can find to say that Cavendish sprint was irregular.
