    Hello mountains! 😀

    Getting in early with this as I’m out on a ride tomorrow AM. I’ve enjoyed the Tour up to now, but this stage is the first one I’ve put a big circle round in the calendar.

    So does anybody dare reveal their plans? Who has saved their transfers? Who are we tipping for the win?

    I won’t say who I’ve picked, but I will say that I’ve gone for a spread of a few mid-20 guys rather than a big GC feller. I reckon Contador will go for the win, but fancy Rolland to crest the first HC climb in the lead. I’m basing these predictions on absolutely nothing, by the way.

    I think from watching TV.

    21 points so far for standard; 26 for purist.

    Actually the commentators got it wrong.Just checked on the official classification and it was Nieve with the points. Couldn’t see his number to check as they often get it wrong. Good day for Dave and me with that pick!

    I think one of us should be a commentator because half the time they know f*** a** about it!!!!

    Well its gonna be Rolland,
    Well its gonna be Rolland, Nieve and Le Mevel in for Martin, Navarro and Bono for my team.

    When I picked my team team I didn’t realize Nieve was that cheap otherwise I would have put him in instead of Navarro today, (as could have had Gadret then as well I think) my bad

    Not as bad as I thought, 1,4 and 9 and think Martin snuck into the top 20. Navarro a let down

    Now the question is will Rolland go in the break tomorrow :?

    I damn well hope so because that’s what I put him in for. I think a break could finally stick tomorrow especially as there isn’t a summit finish.

    It’s tricky having so many teams, but there are so few transfers in that game you may be better off using them in the last week more when you know who is good. Used 5 so far but tomorrow may not be a GC stage. I expect a break to stay away tomorrow.
