How many stage wins for Cav in this year's TdF?

Haven't looked closely at the course yet so no idea how many stages will suit him, but I'll guess at five wins, plus enough minor points to take the green jersey.

Remember that they're awarding the points differently this year, with one prime sprint at half way that nets half as many points as the final sprint, rather than three sprints for paltry points each.

So there'll be more of a scrap for the intermediate points? Could be interesting!

There will be more underdog attacks to remove the intermediate points from the competition. I can't see HTC being upset if the intermediate sprints are nullified by tactical riding.
