Yeah, Froome dominated. I thought Contador had one more stage in him, but I guess not. Alright Dave, make the call for tomorrow.

OK, I'm going out on a limb.
Valverde by 45 seconds.
Later, Tejay and/or Cadel recover/have a good day for a stage win (that's an emotional prediction).
....and I'm not gonna' say Froome for tomorrow. I ain't gonna' say it.

I would've said Vinchenzo (phonetic spelling)(Nibali) for tomorrow but , oops, he isn't here.
I love where Laurens TenDam drops Contador and Kreuziger!...and pulls through for 5th.

For those who follow Strava, the numbers by pro rider Laurens ten Dam during stage 8 of the Tour de France should give you a goal to shoot for. 118.5 miles, over 16,000 feet of elevation and an average speed of 23.4 mph. And BTW, he finished the stage fifth, ahead of past TDF winners Alberto Contador and Cadel Evans. Whoa!
"Hard day"--ya think? Those guys are fooken amazing. I wonder how many beers I'd have to drink to recover all those Calories?

His name's Quintana.
He could'a been a contend'a, if he was a bett'a descend'a!
Phil, this is how you lay out todays selections. First you take your Contador and put him next to your Evans. Then you take your Valverde and set him next to your Froome. Next you take your....
Paul!.. Don't you think your putting that Porte alittle too close to that Quintana?
Nonsense Phil, I........
BOOOOOM!
Well Paul, let's hope none of our viewers at home were injured in that selection process.

I hope there is some challenge from someone. Of the recent tours, I can only picture Sastre's(and the Schleck brothers) and Cadel's wins. I know Contador and Wiggins won in there, but really I can't remember any of the stages.
Oh, yeah, there was Andy attacking while Contador was getting water, slipping a chain, and then whinging like a baby when Contador rode by him.
