I think theres just too many good climbers. Attacks tend to get neutralised and so larger groups come to the finish, and Dekker is able to outsprint them having not been dropped.

He was 3rd on the stage and only because of the earlier breakaway.

that's always been a problem with PPDB and the reason that so many people complain that Brajkovic wins the Tour in the first season and such. too many good climbers. it's EXACTLY as you put it 
everyone comes so close in the mountains that it's all about the TTs. |

That makes Vinokourov, Dekker and Savoldelli the favourites for the tour then.
Anyway, a sprint finish that was not won by McEwen

I have installed a remote shocker in Eisels and Petacchis seat, and with a button press I shall make him rue the day he was born, if he does not wake uo and start sprinting for real!

Moreau still hanging on
Dekker is having a great season, but a 19 way sprint isn't the most realistic of finishes
And rujano's having a great Tour as well

yeah, And petacchi seems to be running out of gas. perhaps age is catching up with him (that or the repeated shock tretments he gets every evening)

A WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oscarito was in a perfect position, and if he had been in all other sprints he would've won them too
Arroyo crashed
Cardenas is now our only very very slim chance of a top 10 but we are aiming for a top 20 anyway

The Tour de Crash strikes again!
Over 20 riders go down, including at least 2 top 10 GC riders, 1 jersey wearer and Tom Boonen.
