    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.

    Christopher Froome
    Christopher Froome (SKY)
    Pierre Rolland (EUC)
    Andy Schleck (RSN)
    Daniel Moreno (KAT)
    Nairo Alexander Quintana Rojas (MOV)
    Murilo Antonio Fischer (FDJ)
    Christophe Le Mevel (COF)
    Johnny Hoogerland (VCD)
    José Ivan Gutierrez Palacios (MOV)

    Looks like Moreno could either be good bet or bad one by the looks of other teams

    I think today is about trying to get 4 top GC guys, tomorrow is the day to have the KOM contenders. To Schleck or not to Schleck tho’?

    I know there is one “local”
    I know there is one “local” rider for this stage, jolly good climber he is too, but I haven’t picked him because his early season form hasn’t been as scintillating of late.

    I have:
    The 2 best lieutenants in the race
    The 2 best grenouilles grimpants
    Alberto’s ex
    The current polka dots wearer
    plus 3 x 3.0

    The problem with Rolland is,
    The problem with Rolland is, until he’s dropped more time on the GC, he’s not going to get away in a break to get more KOM’s.

    I was gonna go Rolland, then I didn’t as I don’t think he will crest the HC climb 1st, or be in the top 10 at the finish.

    Got 5 riders and 4 fillers

    That’s good news. I hope a couple of my riders go for those.

    Thanks for the socks for the 3 Italian game. Very comfy. Used them for a ride tonight.

    The official TdF website shows that the final KOM point is 1.5km from the finish. Will this be scored in the game or is it being counted as a summit finish?

    It should be counted. If my memory serves me correctly its only when the finish line is at the top that they dont count.
