Tour de France stage 4 wrap up
July 11th, 2007 |Hushovd wins, Boonen loses again.
Boonen does have a good grip on the sprinters jersey right now, that has to make him feel good. Unless McEwen can get recovered from his crash and get his act together he may not be able to challenge Boonen for the green. Of course, Boonen has to finish the Tour, something he has found difficult to do the past couple of years.
The Côte de la Croix de la Libération with 8km to go in tomorrow’s stage may prevent the sprinters from being up front for the finish, or not. Zabel and McEwen may be able to climb fast enough to get over the top with the lead group and contest the stage. Can Hushovd and Boonen make the grade? I don’t know.
