Tour de France 2010

The Madeleine is a long, tough climb so it should see a selection made, but with a 25 km descent then 15 kms up the Maurienne valley to the finish there's plenty of time for dropped riders to chase back on. I'd expect a similar size group to Sunday contesting the finish, unless someone is on a super day (and the rest day was yesterday so someone might be full of beans today) and goes hard early on the Madeleine.

I'm not sure whether people would choose to eat beans in particular on a rest day in the Tour. ;)
