    Vino will light it up and either bring himself back in to contention or blow everything tomorrow. Valverde is the sensible pick, but for me what the hell:

    Stage 9: The Chav Man*

    He's chasing dots, out of GC contention and the chicken has a more important jersey to defend.

    I think the winner will be from a break after KoM points, but you're all picking GC contenders!

    Well I hope I'm right...

    I'm betting the usual GC suspects will watch each other today. I'm almost tempted to go for Chicken Legs again - I think he'll be out front after KOTM points and might conceivably be allowed to stay away by a small margin to the end of the stage. I'd pick him for 'first over the Galibier' but I think the Galibier to Briançon is just too long and he'd be caught.

    So, unless anybody has had a refreshing day with a doctor, i'm going for a breakaway containing...

    Should have been sensible.

    Anyhoo. Normally I'd have thought the Boogieman would be licking his lips at the thought of a stage like tomorrow, but unfortunately he's shackled to a chicken so I'm going to have to go for

    He promised that he'd win a stage, and this looks like the best candidate, so:
