TDF Stage 8 Castres --> Ax 3 Domaines
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.
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

It should be counted. If my memory serves me correctly its only when the finish line is at the top that they dont count.
I am that far behind, anyone copying me would be stupid. So here is my team for tomorrow as I'm out aswell
Dmitriy Muravyev (filler)
Joaquin Rodriguez (Stage win)
Michal Kwiatkowski (High position, Maybe yellow but keeps white)
Simon Clarke (break for polka)
Blel Kadri (break with Clarke to keep polka)
Michael Rogers (Gonna be up at the head keeping Contador going)
Damiano Cunego (Hunch)
Albert Timmer (Filler)
