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.
Pretty much what i was thinking. Used 15 transfers so far
might put froome in and then leave my team alone till monday/tuesday
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.
I've just done 3 changes. Got bored of trying.
Its tough going from super sprinty to TTT, with that stage in between......Been on it an hour and got nowhere......
Relax... did you read this?... http://cyclingquotes.com/news/2015_tour_de_france_stage_8_preview/
It might help you put your nerves at ease...
Go for a ride and think about it... That should soothe the nerves! 
I'm foxed by stage 8.
Forgive the pun.
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.
Whilst having a toot in homage to Luca.
Sarcasm does not suit you lol, but i suppose i deserved it
I should have said when was it announced but i've just read about it.
Paolini positive for Coke.
Oh dear.
Indeed, where did you hear that mate ?
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.

1,2,3,5,6,10,14 - but 300+ beat me. How did this game get so tough???
Class by Cavendish
1,2,3,4,5,9 for me
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.
