TDF Stage 8 Belfort-Porrentruy
Plenty of KOM points to be earned today and with 5 climbs before the intermediate sprint it's likely to count the sprinters out of that too.
Looks like a Moncoutie/Hoogerland type stage but you'd then have to dump them for the TT and the risk/reward is too great.
I thought long and hard about a descender but went for the new Maillot Jaune Wiggins instead along with young tyro Taaramae in place of sprinters Greipel and Sagan

Taaramae
Rogers

Westra
Pinot

Hoping not to haunted by the following names in about 5 hrs time-Hoogerland,Roux,Moncoutie,Voeckler

Am I the only person genuinely surprised to read this? I'd assumed that it would be at night - but 10.30 in the morning???

They don't deserve any payment, but the rebrand was done before Ashley got his stinky hands on it, so they probably did.

Totally agree - that's a very nice route for walking along by the river when you're not forced onto Crews Hole Rd.

Thought I had a great shout of two or three riders in the break today but obviously not
Bradley Wiggins (SKY)
Fabian Cancellara (RSN)
Luis Leon Sanchez (RAB)
Peter Sagan (LIQ)
Andriy Grivko (AST)
Giovanni Bernaudeau (EUC)
Mikel Astarloza (EUS)
Gorka Izagirre (EUS)
Kris Boeckmans (VCD)
At least LL Sanchez is giving it a go for me again. Glad Izagirre has not shown anything, He was my constant last year along with LL, but every man and his second account has him this year
Froome will probably lose the KOM jersey today.
Got Froome, Wiggins, Taarame and Zubeldia as my stars and hopefully Iglinsky and Pineau can come good.
In the end as long as Froome, Taarame and Wiggins keep the jerseys i will be happy.
well i will post my team here again
Wiggins
Chavanel
Rogers
Moncoutie
Casar
Lancaster
Zabriske
Edet
Izagirre
So Casar and Moncoutie in the break for me would be nice
then should be looking ok for tomorrow
Wiggins, Chavanel, Rogers, Zabriske, can all TT for me (poss Lancaster).
The question then is Taarame and Larsson or Monfort and Grivko for tomorrow....interesting choices
