Tomorrows stage from Troyes to Nevers is another flat and fairly easy stage. US Postal won´t defend the yellow jersey of Pena (of course if breakaway attempts aren´t succesfull he´ll still keep it). They´ll rather save energy for the weekend with it´s mountain stages. So there´s a pretty good chance that a breakaway attempt might be succesfull. Alot of riders will be tired tomorrow and if there´s a breakaway attempt it will be interessting to see if enough of the teams with the good sprinters are willing to do some work to catch up.

I expect the french drivers from the french teams like FDJeux, Credit Agricol, AG2R, La Boulangere and Jean Delatour to attack tomorrow. I think a group might make it, but maybe there´s just another mass sprint.
