With temperatures expected to reachР’В up to 34РІВРЉ today the domestiques are going to be busy shipping cool bidons back and forth as their leaders attempt to stay cool in the summer heat.Р”Р„lthough many today will be expecting some action from the general classification riders, especially pre-race favourites Chris Froome (Team Sky) and Nairo Quintana (Movistar) who both started today on the same time РІР‚вЂњР’В 5 mins 57 secs behind maillot jaune Greg Van AvermaetР’В (BMC Racing)Р’В РІР‚вЂњ I think the placing of theР’В Tourmalet midway through the stage may end up negating the race for yellow. WithР’В 4,350m РІР‚вЂњ orР’В 14,271 feet if my dad is reading thisР’В РІР‚вЂњ of vertical climbing today is going to be a tough day.

Today's 184-kilometre run fromР’В Pau to BagnР“РЃres-de-Luchon features four categorised climbsР’В РІР‚вЂњ the hors catР“В©gorieР’В Col du Tourmalet, category two Hourquette d'Ancizan and then the Col de Val Louron-Azet andР’В Col de PeyresourdeР’В which are both category one.РІР‚вЂ№ Right folks, shall we have a quick look at the stage? Pinot, RafalР’В MajkaР’В (Tinkoff) and Tony MartinР’В (Etixx-Quick Step), meanwhile, are leading the chasers by over two minutes and are getting very close to the summit of the Tourmalet. It depends on the first part of the race, whether a breakaway is formed early or it's a fight between the favourites. I still have some time to achieve something. It's a problem to not really understand what happens. 'There are many question marks but very few answers. I've told what went wrong and what my expectations are for the rest of the Tour,'Р’В Pinot said. Pinot admitted, too, that he had 'very few answers' to the questions posed by his dreadful performance on Friday. Thibaut PinotР’В РІР‚вЂњ the Frenchman who endured a jour sans, or nightmare to you and me, yesterdayР’В РІР‚вЂњ earlier today claimed hisР’В FDJ team had 'no plan' going into the stage.
