The result of stage 8 has me clutching at straws, this stage has 5 climbs and I'm thinking this is the day a lead out group may survive even though there is a decent to the finish......but who will it be.
Sky....no, they will have riders to challenge the lead out but unless contador or another GC rider is in that lead out sky will just want to make sure they finish with them.
Belkin...great ride yesterday, don't be surprised to see mollema in the mix with the GC contenders today he may even look for a stage win here sky won't care too much if he does.
Saxo....this is a great stage for Saxon to stretch their legs, contador won't be able leave sky's sight however kreuziger may be part of the lead out if Saxo let him go.
Movistar....great climbing team here with decent prospects here to challenge the stage....valverde will not be let go, Quintana try yesterday looked real good, maybe costa here.
Others...this is a stage where any one could win...so I'm going to roll the dice on a few.
Costa Win risk $10 Win $600
Pinot Win risk $10 Win $200
Poels Win risk $10 Win $300
Sagan Win risk $20 Win $400
Sagan is a good chance if the peloton catch the lead out he climbs well and is a great descender.

Cheers guys, it was a bold pick but it paid off.

I would probably say 4 but not sure how comfortable I would be betting Over 3.5 because he only won 3 stages last year with an arguably better team. But I do think out of the next 4 stages he'll win 2 and then win in Paris which would give him 4 wins.

Liking what you guys are posting.....seems straightforward today, well hopefully it plays out that way.
Been reading a lot about the final 5km of this finish. Seems very straight and will be attractive to teams with solid sprint trains especially with the predominant tailwinds creating a little extra pace. Of course being a Lotto fan Greipel @$4 seems a lucrative price, so does Kittle @$8, both of which are power sprinters supported by strong lead out trains.
Greipel to win...........Risk $75 Reward $300
Kittle to win..............Risk $25 Reward $200
