If the weather doesn't take effect, this should be a stage for the pure sprinters. There isn't the terrain (a tiny hill a week way out) for the likes of Sagan or Degenkolb, of whom much more later in the week, to distance the sprinters so it would be no surprise to see a bunch sprint.
Personally, I think the interesting part of yesterday was the performance of Europcar. There was no desire to push themselves at all during the TT.
85th was their best finisher. Sure, the likes of Voeckler and Rolland are just keeping in the black for stages they like, but it suggests to me that they might be targeting today's stage (or possibly tomorrow). On that basis...
Coq Watch As sprinter for Europcar, Bryan Coquard is my pick of people to watch today. 28/1 for the win, I'll get 1/3 that for a top three finish, and I've got faith in the boy.

Aside from that, its a good test for the likes of Cavendish and Bouhanni to show their teeth and, obviously, would be no surprise to see Cav emerge victorious.
