It's up next, with the final stage being the desisive stage GC-wise as the only hilly stage of the tour. There are 5 flat stages and 2 ITT's and the hilly stage mentioned before.
For the sprints we have: Simon (Accumalux), Eisel (Carlsberg), Boonen (Carrefour), Petacchi (C.A), Bos (Cycling24), Bennati (Gazetta), Cavendish (FloGas)
For the ITT's we have: Cancellara and Millar (Accumalux) and Bonnet (AG2R) yes that's it pretty much.
For the hilly stage we have: Ventoso (Accumalux), Calzati (AG2R), Paolini (Carlsberg), Bellotti (C.A.), Pineau, Cobo and Rebellin (Cycling24), Castaño (Discovery), Arroyo, Bertagnoli and Vanendert (Domina), Ballan (Ferrari), Chavanel and Monfort (France TV), Nocentini (Gazetta), Aerts, Gerdemann and Leukemans (Magenta) and Kroon (Telefonica)
My thinkings on the sprints: Petacchi vs Boonen, Cav vs Bennati
My thinking on the ITT's: Accumalux pwnage
My thinking on the hilly stage: Cycling24 pwnage

Wow, Eneco is generally a tour where a good TT helps loads. Good news that Ive only got Bonnet to fight 
Go Cancellara for first! And Millar for 2nd!

I wouldn't mention Kroon, because he isn't doing anything
Btw, is there any explanation to this??? A guy with 80 hills can't stay with the favourites in the hilly classics. Please someone explain this to me

Boonen now goes above 200 points in the individual rankings.
And I never should have sold Cancellara |

I know this won't help either but i just played the next stage and Bos came 2nd
problem is that the stage crashed about 5 seconds after he crossed the line
the stage was 175kms long as well I'll have to replay it now though

I'm stunned how Bos managed to get 2nd again in the re-run
Cav's positioning was terrible, he didn't even get in anyone's wheel
