I still have absolutely no idea about either of the first two stages. The eternal question of 'how big is that hill'.  1

I'll be in High Bradfield watching them on Kirk Edge Road as they approach Sheffield. Should be fun.

I'm the Orica kiss of death. I had 50p e/w on Impey too (admittedly at 350/1).

Ha ha, brill! I was very pleased with myself for backing Matthews at 80/1 for stage one.. the odds shortened massively after that... then he went and crashed and they shot back up again!

Stage 2 is very hard to pick. If Gilbert was riding I'd say Gilbert. But he isn't. So I'll say Valverde. Gerro himself, of course, should be in the running. I also have one or two other tips that I'm not sharing!

One guy I think will definitely fancy it though is Nibali. This would be a strong chance for him to get a dig in, wear the jersey for a good few stages and bang in a few seconds on his rivals for the podium.
