not so not so.
1 - next sundays stage to verbier - mountaintop finish. apparently not the toughest of finishes but at the end of a long day and a week's worth of frustration for the GC challengers. Someone will have to attack - the strength of astana might render it pointless but schleck or evans will have a go.
2 - tuesdays stage to Bourg-St-Maurice - comes after a short stage of two very tough climbs - the cols of Grand and Petit St bernard. No flat at the end today - just a descent. Theres a chance someone will give it a shot on the final climb if they can.
3 - wednesdays stage to le grand bornand. The final climb of the colombiere is very tough (i know, I've ridden it) and the descent is short and no good for any sort of chase. So as good as a mountain top finish really. tough stage all round so fireworks time.
4 - The annecy time trial - flat - the chance for the likes of Wiggins and Evans to claim back time? But chances are LA and AC will respond.
5 - The second last stage to Mont Ventoux - the toughest single climb in the race - it will be decided here.
Dont forget that the accumulated fatigue will be a factor in the final week.
So we have 5 stages where things could happen. if the race is boring its down to astana's strength neutralising the race and preventing attacks rather than any deficiencies in the route.
