Stage 5 Preview

Stage 4
Start: Epernay
End: Montargis
Length: 187.5 km
Difficulty Profile (1-10): 1.5
Tomorrow's stage should be pretty much the same type of race as today's, flat and easy. There aren't many difficult parts of the course to maneuver, so it should be much of the same type of relaxed riding like yesterday. I'm sure someone will start a breakaway, but it won't last. The sprinters are hungry to get one back on Petacchi, and it may be one of the last chances for Cavendish/McEwen/Farrar to get back up to Hushovd/Petacchi in the green jersey classification. This is especially important for Cavendish if he is going to live up to the overwhelming expectations set for him before the Tour. He passed up a golden opportunity yesterday, I don't see him doing it twice.
