Kittel Gets #5 and We're Under 3%!

Marcel Kittel got his fifth stage win of this year's Tour de France.  The guy is flat-out killing the flat stages!  Below is a comparison between Kittel's winning time and our prediction.

• Stage 11:  4h 34' 27" (actual), 4h 41' 44" (prediction), 07' 17" slow (2.65% error)

Kittel won't win tomorrow's mountain stage.  Our prediction is given below.

• Stage 12:  6h 04' 33" (prediction)

A rider may come in under six hours, but the stage will tax everyone.  They may need to conserve a little for Stage 13.
