Don't worry, you can't sink any lower.

I suppose not. You, of course, only have one direction to head...

I did post a few days ago that Stevo would win two stages - but I didn't pick this one.
Yates second overall and wearing the white jersey.

I hadn't looked at Stage 7 before I did my predictions for Stage 6. Had I done so, I would never have put Cummings down for Stage 6. However, when I did look at 7, it was obvious that Cummings would be targeting this one - and when he targets something, he generally wins it. My back-up was Tom Dumoulin, for similar reasons, but he wasn't doing a Cummings and keeping his powder dry, he is just not on form, it seems. My third pick was Bardet for the same reasons that others picked Nibali or another climber. There would definitely be a few who would attack from a chase group on the Col d'Aspin, and I just went with Bardet - could just as easily have been Nibali or Yates or Barguil or Pantano. In the event it was Nibali.

Stage 8: I'm going for big GC bust-up, so: Quintana, Froome, Bardet.
