    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.

    Whoa there…..I thought a stage classified as summit finish within the game would not count the final KOM pts?

    Almost everything pointed to him for me……terrain,locality etc but then I read that Team manager Marc Madiot has expressly forbidden him from attacking on this stage and blowing himself out for the rest of the tour……i think that of the FDJ guys Jeannesson is the more likely today?

    that’s the break with about a minute over the peloton…..got a feeling Riblon’s won a stage here before?

    You would be correct Ray 2010 Schlek was 4th JRod was 5th that day :B

    Look on the bright side…Hoogerland in the break,Sagan and Cav will get green jersey competition points,the sprint comes before the first climb so you may get something there,Kwia might(doubtful)get over the mountains OK but after that you are clutching at straws OTHER than the fact that you will have the transfers tomorrow knowing who’s got mountain legs and who ain’t!!

    And you’re the first one to fulfil my prediction of a forum’er getting caught out by the deadline(or at least admit to it!!).
