Cavendish has identified the four stages that suit him best, but the opening stage from Brest to Plumelec is not one of them. “I will sit up at the bottom of the climb,” he said.

from
http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/tour08/?id=stages/tour081

"The hilltop finish though, means that this is unlikely to be one for the pure sprinters."

The locals call it 'Brittany’s Alpe-d’Huez'

but what do I know.....
