Tour De France - Samuel Sánchez vs Kirchen Cycling betting preview

D Day in the Tour de France. Arrive in the Alpe de Huez, in the last big mountain stage. The mountain is mythical, the Mother of All Climbs, the Queen Stage. Huez has 21 curves, each one with stories of attacks, Tours that are won and lost. About 15 km around 7 and 8% which, always, is decisive and creates enormous gaps. This Tour De France has all the cyclists very close and since this is the last mountain stage before the time-trial, the attacks must happen. The Croix de Fer, another special category climb, can brake some legs.

When the hard mountain starts, it breakes my heart the suffering of Kirchen. He is not a climber and clearly suffers a lot with the hard moviments of the Tour. In the top 10 mostly because this peloton really lacks quality, tomorrow, his objective is not lose much time.

Samuel has a bigger experience in this big tours and already made some results in the mountain. Even that he is not a champion or a pure climber, i believe he will make a normal ride between the first 10-15 to arrive. Kirchen, in my opinion, is a worst climber than Samuel and is really suffering the 3-week effort. His form is going down like Augustyn goes down in the Bonette.
