    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.

    Anton is the Euskatel rider
    Anton is the Euskatel rider according to the commentators. Can’t see his number. Another Euskatel rider in the group, don’t know who it is. Hope it’s Nieve.

    Quintana has gone. Maybe a
    Quintana has gone. Maybe a plan to work with Valverde later on. Froome and Porte are going to have to do this themselves.

    Looks like all the mountain
    Looks like all the mountain points on the HC will be up for grabs and I hope Rolland gets some. Had the feeling there wouldn’t be a big break today; that will happen tomorrow when there are lots of big gaps.

    You definitely can, although as I understand it people wouldn’t be able to bring him in from tomorrow.

    I think its pretty much 50-50 with those two – Nieve was just cheaper…
