Could well happen, but there's a lot to lose if a few of the GC guys try it but one or two don't.

This is what I've been thinking. 65k is short, but is it short enough anyone attacking on the Peyresourde tomorrow really expect to hold off a a focussed GC peleton.
The best bet would be Movistar, which inevitably means that Quintana gets sacrificed for the better positioned Landa. But without any help on climbs 2 & 3, which are harder, it seems like a doomed effort. There's a lot of combinations of collaborations among the top ten but I can't see any of them benefiting the team that waits for 3+ doms over the first 3k or so. Waiting, that is, at a fairly high pace.
Arguably the most likely person in the top ten for a off the line solo effort is the worst placed Dan Martin who's main interest is more likely to be the stage win. Sky can old off the longest on chasing and force all the others to do the work to protect their position before the final climb.

Be funny if tomorrow backfires spectacularly as the GC guys just wait for the doms to get to the front
