Today's race is a fairly flag stage and should be a sprinters race. Right now there are about 45 miles left in the race. There are some escapees about 5'20" ahead of the peloton but I think they will be caught before the end. The peloton isn't going to let them get the big lead as yesterday (or so it seems as of right now).
The big race starts on Tuesday - Thursday when they race in the Alps. Tomorrow (Monday) is the last rest day of the Tour. I think the races Tuesday thorough Thursday will decide the winner barring injuries from crashes of course. For the contenders to beat out Landis they will need to have a good advantage going into the final time trial race Saturday. We will see.
