Two days in the mountains and two different winners. Two teams that have not finished on the podium nabbed 1st and 2nd today on stage 8. The focus on GC riders is a coup Salty Dog managed by Justin Rath employs most years. He has started his climb from the bottom and if things continue on this way he will make is way to the top. Team Lop-side-down managed by Kelin Dunfee had a solid showing over the last couple of days and maintains the top spot in the overall competition. The fight for the podium is hot with But I'm Le Tired managed by Beth Geissler, The Buusycles managed by Bethany Buus and Rainbow Warriors managed by Scott Bromelkamp sitting just EIGHT points apart.
The legion of Froome should be licking their chops now that he is in yellow. Will it be a SKY stranglehold like 2013 and 2015 or will one of the 12 riders within 34 seconds of the lead snatch yellow from the SKY mountain train? Tomorrow should be another great day with a mountain top finish in Andorra.
