Big decisions to be made today about your teams, is it wholesale changes ready for the TTT and the 3 lumpy stages that follow or will people keep the fast boys in hoping they get points along the way and some make it into the top 20.

I’ve gone the whole hog and brought in the big guns all set for the beginning of next week.

Vuillermoz and Martin
Vuillermoz and Martin couldn’t really make up for the fact that Sagan scored a boatload of points thanks to an intermediate sprint he kind of sucked in and his many jerseys. Ugh.

Froome and TVG in for Cav, cimolei and Kristoff.

Still got Sagan, greipel and Degenkolb for the sprint points.

That would be thrilling! 🙂

The cyclingquotes preview (http://cyclingquotes.com/news/2015_tour_de_france_stage_8_preview/), though, has it marked as a stage for a breakaway since they think none of the GC teams will want to expend any energy today, saving their boys for tomorrow… 😕

Last time it finished on
Last time it finished on Mûr-de-bretagne it was

1. Cuddles
2. Bertie
3. Vino
4. Uran
5. Phil-Gil
6. Hushovd

which doesn’t make it any easier…

That last climb of 2k at 6%
That last climb of 2k at 6% will have attacks going left right and centre to win a stage of the tour which is why i took my sprinters out. Sagan and Degenkolb would get up it i think but can they live with the likes of the GC boys going for it to get time bonus’ and possibly either close or extend their time gaps on the others.

As far as the fantasy game is concerned its a bloody nightmare stage ~X(

Waiting it out. Having used
Waiting it out. Having used 15 transfers already. Was gonna bring froome in for Sagan but with bonus seconds Sagan could steal yellow if he’s feeling good today? 😕
