    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.

    Then will tweak again for the mountains.

    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… 😕

    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(
