This may well be a fun stage, and to anyone not on the west coast, I recommend getting up in time to watch. Cycling is always great in person, and with the undulating terrain toward the end, there's a decent chance of a break making things very interesting.
As for me, however, I have to pace myself. So unless the staff of Cycling.TV intends to reenact the Battle of Monte Cassino, Monty Python style, I will most likely not kick myself out of bed much before the inevitable sprint.
