The big news is that Levi is out with a broken wrist.

With two Cat 1's and a 17 km Cat 2, the sprinters will not be near the lead after a 21 km downhill finish. Any rider with a 2 min lead over the Col du Firstplan should hold on for the win. Just depends on how many go over the summit at that time.
Contador is probably my pick
