TourManager:
Etappe 14 er en av de hardeste etappene i årets Tour de France, med nesten 5000 høydemeter. Dette blir en viktig etappe for sammenlagtrytterne og det vil trolig bli kjørt såpass hardt at de stikker av med etappeseieren. Kan være lurt å beholde ryttere høyt oppe i sammendraget (med andre ord de som er best til å klatre) på TourManager laget.
