A flat stage heading south east towards the Alps. A messy finish is possible for the sprinters with two 90 degree turns in the last km. Looks like riders that are fast & with excellent bike handling skills could emerge from any chaos for the win. I've gone Sagan @ 12/1. But may turn into a lottery. |

A couple of thoughts
Mikel Nieve top 10. Has had top ten finishes in the Vuelta & Giro, looking to add the Tour to that list. Looks to be in strong climbing form & with the mountainous last week can climb from his current 15th, about 3 mins behind 10th. 7/4 available, not great value? But could drift.
PP have Richie Porte on number of stage wins @ under 0.5 1.16. over 0.5 4.50. One bad day doesn't harm his chances especially in the last week. Remember he was 2nd in stage 8. Froome has minutes in hand over his rivals, he can use his friend tactically to set up a win. At least three chances next week, plus stage 17, the hilly time trial.

I don't think he can have any excuses, the Kittel lad was just faster. |

Plenty of drama for a flat stage.
Now Saxo-Tinkoff attacking in the crosswinds to isolate Froome.

Looks like he'll drop out of the top ten. Surely Movistar must be all for Quintana now. |

25th Tour win for Cav, sure earned that one, riding on the front & not missing any of the attacks. Quality.

Who is Mollema and is he/team a threat to Froome in the Alps/time trial?
Will Movistar now switch to Quintana and try to get him on the podium?
