TdF stage 7

Still no changes for me:

Greipel
Demare
Sagan
Cavendish
Devolder
Navardauskas
Barta
Degenkolb
Perichon

Hopefully Cav will be taking this one.

No idea what to do for stage 8. Probably I will do very little and hope for intermediate sprint points and bank the transfers.

With the rate of broken bones and withdrawals they might come in handy.

I've gone for some GC guys and kept some sprinters.

I've risked it all and gone straight for the summit finish boys hoping that they will all show up tomorrow and on the TTT.

ooooh yes i've just found those as well.........at my age i'll need to be careful with my heart and all that.

Big decisions now though for stage 8, that kick up at the end really scuppers a sprint finish.

Yes, sorry I was being sarcastic, but it's true about the underwear ladies!

Um, the internet?

RTE, ABC news, SKY, etc.

You can look at pictures of ladies in their undies too.

Wonder if Farrar will get more chances in this race, or if MTN was just throwing him a bone. A bit odd that he was their man at a finish with a gradient.

Sprint stages are often very high scoring in the first few days.

I'm pretty happy with this though. First overall in Purist and last 4 Purist stage results...

st4: 5th
st5: 1st
st6: 5th
st7: 1st

Happy days.

None for me either.

Kristoff
Cav
Greipel
Sagan
Cimolei
Degenkolb
Plus 3

In both standard and purist.

I think I've just taken the virtual lead in the purist comp after the intermediate sprint

It's a 4% incline for the final sprint today so maybe not one for Cav.
