Tomorrow isn't as important as you'd think - none of the big guns are goim to make a move but the top ten contendors will distance themselves from the rest of the field the last climb while it is the highest climb of the tour isn't too steep or doesn't have the agressive hairpins of say the alp d'huez - it will suit a climbing train similiar to what we've seen from htc Colombia but going uphill. That is too say one team will be looking to inflict as much damage by piling hard. I'm saying that know but two other things could be likely

1- a decent breakaway and teams look to one another to chase
2- someone like sastre could have a go as he is down a bit of time and his power suits a climb like the last

I think lance certainly has the brains to be there or there abouts at shake up time,but I dunno has he the legs

E@gle.
